Who has the highest mileage on a TT car.

Oh and to answer your question the only trouble the car ever gave me was the rear diff mount broke after a couple years. Had I used the car at the strip more often it probably would have broken much sooner and I would recommend anyone upgrade the rear diff mounts right off the start. Had I left the stock slave cylinder in I'm sure it would have failed too, but I upgraded that right away.

Hey Phunk,

Out of curiosity - what kind of vaccum do you get at idle? They say a healthy engine usually has higher numbers. Congrats on having the longest boosted 370z and maybe the fastest as well!

My apologies to the OP - don't mean to thread jack.

I cannot currently recall and my 370z has been on jackstands since my clutch toasted at the track. I should have it back on the road in the next 2 weeks or so and the same engine is still in there so I can report back. I want to say 19-20 inches or so, but it could be less.

I am actually putting the stock headers on and will be putting it on the dyno to see what it makes NA and do some checks on the motor to make sure its good to go for the next round of severe abuse it will see before I swap in the built motor.

I probably should check out my rear diff mounts while my car is down now that you mention it.
My clutch/CSC lasted until 80k miles stock with boost from 19k (only a SC though), but I did not hit the drag strip like you.

Knowing these items I think they should be included in the "required" list of upgrades when going boost: Rear diff mounts (clutch/CSC was already on the list).

The rear mount I dont recall really getting any warning or indication until it was broken, and then it was pretty obvious with all the clunking around. Also, the silicon (or whatever it is) fluid leaks down the back of your diff cover. At first I thought I cracked the cover at the mount locations because at the time I didnt even know it was a liquid filled mount.
