Mine's MotorSports 370Z (fairlady Z) hits Fuji Racetrack 12.08.08

According to the owners manual the synchro match feature only works on downshifts, not upshifts. And the downshift feature doesn't stop you from choosing a wrong gear, if you are

According to the owners manual the synchro match feature only works on downshifts, not upshifts. And the downshift feature doesn't stop you from choosing a wrong gear, if you are doing 130mph and accidentally go to 1st gear you will still overrev your engine and blow it up.

Factory tires are never good...everyone knows this and they are replaced even by autocrosser's immediately, much less for track duty.

Same thing with break pads. Factory pads are made for low noise and dust, not performance pads...they get replaced immediately too.

LSD is a bit of a let down. I was hoping for a real LSD but this viscus LSD that is stock is just crap.

Except on the GT-R hehe

Brake pads will need to be replaced immediately or at least swapped every time it hits the track.

Yes on the LSD comment, I was unhappy when I heard this. This will need to go immediately.

Mines is my favorite Japan tuner. I really like there philosophy on tuning. They go for all around improvement with track being the focus moreso than all out power. Harmony between brake, suspension and power...If only I had the coin for there stuff....Love the rear shots of the Mines Z.
