Good stuff! how do you like the under drive pulley?

kenchan 10-10-2013 03:20 PM

The Stillen pulley is an amazing product. I had it installed the same time as the ART pipes and throttle response is amazing. I barely have to apply any pressure to the throttle to get her going. Teamed with the ART pipes drastically improved the low end. Out of all the mods that people are hesitant to do, I think the pulley is a major one that should not be over looked. Just have it professionally installed and tourqued to the the proper foot pounds. Can't go wrong if installed correctly by the pros.

A few hours later I met with a fellow PNW_INC member who did the install of the Stillen G3s in his miniature garage. Great guy who gave me one hell of a deal. It was also nice to spend some time with a fellow Z enthusiast who owns a beautiful PW Nismo. Bedside lamp is a must when doing installs in garages that small, hahaha!

So, like a knucklehead I ordered the incorrect spacers for my car.

What I wanted: 20mm front and 20mm rear bolt on spacers

What I ordered: 20mmF/R stud replacement spacers

Unfortunately, I have to send them back and am going with 20mm Front and 25mm Rear bolt on spacers.

I just wasted my own time and some shipping money...sighhhhhhh

LESSON:

Always remember to check your cart when checking out and verify that you clicked on the correct product!

Why not keep the stud replacement? just a bit extra work but you save time and money from having to return them?

Riptide67 10-15-2013 03:29 PM

The only major pain about the stud replacement is the wheel purchase in the near future. I'd be sure to buy an offset that doesn't have the need for spacers. I can remove bolt on spacers fast. Stud replacement take more time. Both are proven products. I wouldnt be surprised if I just say eff it and install the stud replacement spacers when they arrive.

After speaking with Intec Racing today looks like the Uprev software and tune with 2 hours of dyno time is gonna run me $750. I am making my appointment for the 2nd of November.

Now to find a good deal on a used Motordyne m370 intake manifold before the tune. Fingers crossed!!!!!!

I love yours as well! One of the first 370s I saw with the F14.

Here are some pics of the headlight modification. This is really made the front end pop and the Angel Eyes are fantastic along with the new STI lens and 6000k HIDs.

Nice work on the head lights D! Now you gotta black out every chrome and silver trims on the car lol

Riptide67 10-23-2013 09:29 AM

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Forgestars, even though it's been one week, hahaha!


This weekend my friend! I am doing the Nissan emblems and side markers in Satin Black...handles may even be a part of that equation as well.
