EcuTek traction control can only help you so much with an open diff. A new diff should be one of your next priority mods with the power you now have...that is if you want to get it to the ground in a significant way.

Actually drilled/slotted rotors, RBF600, steel lines, and upgraded pads are on my wish list. Of course I've already got Nismo wheels and the bigger calipers.

For street use, they're perfectly fine.

True, but stock works for now. Again, I don't race. But if I did, even the stock open diff is quite capable of laying down elevens in a straight line.

This is true.

There's always something better out there and a lot of people buy stuff they'll never need/use. I'm guilty of it too; I've got full Ohlins on my bike and I've yet to do a single track day.

base < sport < base + upgrades

On a 20 minute commute to work at 60mph none of it means jack.

Rev Match and my Top Speed Exhaust is music to my ears.

Pfff... I don't even shift. I let the car sit in the garage, collecting dust, until it will be worth $1,000,000,000 one day.

I'm sure it will happen within the next 5 years. It has to. Otherwise my [early] retirement plans will need to be reconsidered.

I don't really "NEED" a Z, but I wanted one, so I got one. Now if I just "needed" simple transportation, I'd be driving around in a Toyota Corolla, practical, room for four, a usable trunk, excellent gas mileage and will literally last forever. Lucky for me, I'm not boring. LOL

Likewise with my Motordyne/HKS exhaust and right foot. :driving:
