So yeah, to "do it right," you're probably around $10k give or take a grand.

Probably more for you since you'll need new wheels and tires. And fender work to accommodate the wheels and tires you're going to need with 450whp and 2750lbs.

wasn't an option back in my day, which got me my first exposure to the horrendous 370z differential

Yeah, that's the way to go. Not cheap, regardless.

Goddam white text. Stop jizzing on your keyboard!

Oh I saw you try to keep up, don't think I missed that. I even tested it out. Sped up to see if you would too and you did.

cheaper than the R200 swap by a long way.

Because... we were accelerating to merge onto the highway? You kind of need to accelerate to highway speed to get on the highway.

Ron and I got up to ~55 and you kept going to 80+.

That's a misdemeanor.

Please turn in your weapons.

Nismo is ~3300 curb weight iirc. Am I absolutely positively going to need new wheels or can I get by with better/stickier tires?

No that was even before the highway. I only went up to 80....

I then proceeded to do ricer flyby on Steve and lit up my hazards when I passed him. :|

FI Z definitely needs stickier tires.

You can get by, but you just won't be able to put your foot in it as much as you would with more rubber.

I certainly wouldn't want a stock suspension NISMO with FI, though. If I was doing it I'd be on KW V3s and some meaty tires.

It was the feeder ramp crap, and it was wet, and you were stupid, and we were smart.
