Turbo inlet screen?

On the "other" forum there was a guy who had one of his cats self destruct, which sent metal bits into the turbo - do you use a screen or anything?

There's an UpRev tune finally?! Jeez, I've been waiting to see something from their website - or Cobb's for that matter. Anybody else getting tunes from these companies?

If you love the looks of the Nismo over a modded 370, consider getting the Nismo. But only if you plan to mod it to look like the Niz. I can tell you that the Nismo wheels are very expensive (think...

Weekend before last we had a bit of light rain - got turned around and hit a curb pretty hard. I got off pretty lucky as it was all fairly low speed. However, the passenger side airbags fired, so...

Great point Shadow - now add some wet pavement and you get a big surprise. So if you turn off vdc, then carefully learn your "new" car, and drive like you have an egg between your foot & gas pedal!

I doubt the Nismo is that much different from another 6MT, but if its even a little wet, VDC triggers quite easily. Maybe its the Advans, the stiff clutch, the crazy stiff suspension, the extra HP...

Nismo suspension is very stiff

Zat - did you get your Nismo suspension under the Z yet? Curious what you think of it. I have an 09 Nismo 370 and the suspension is brutally stiff.
