Yeah, did not realize the journal I was in.

Though wstar has moved onto Fast Intentions exhaust so that will be another variable in results.

Hey everyone, decided to put up a quickie from my tune the other day. I think a couple of the pulls go to 8,000RPM. Quality should be HD, but youtube is taking a while to process the video. Its a shame though, it was a 700mb 3 minute file. Looks great in HD

If I had anything else to spend it on to make power! Im out of bolt on's, Tuning doesnt work! I mean I can slap that pulley on and make 2 more HP... Oh I know what I'll do... I'll wait for a cold cold dry night and schedule dyno time at 3AM when the night is at its peak HP making potential...I'll get you semtex, I'll get you!!! hahaha

No but seriously...Im out of power adders on an NA setup.

EDIT: NOS here I come.

EDIT 2: ^ Not happening.

lol! do it!! i will if u will. but not really

RCZ · 11-16-2009, 04:42 PM

heh, Im not touching NOS first. When eliminator starts doing it, I'll see how it goes.

370zForever · 11-16-2009, 06:34 PM

RCZ, did you raise the rev limiter to 8,000 revs....I was just wondering how it feels and sounds cause my Z just loves to rev. With the new intakes, exhaust, cats, headers and whatever else plus the flywheel and arias pistons, the Z just wants more power. Man, it feels like an R8. The low end torque is ballistic, it just takes away (thanks to the flywheel) and the great part is with the tuning, the Z's top end sounds and feels so exciting. I would recommend the JWT flywheel and clutch to anyone. Great combination with the transmission and engine. Anyway, my point is the Z really feels like it could hit 8,000, but I really don't want the engine to be over worked. My engine feels stronger, but I need a personal opinion.....

REV REV REV.............

My limit is at 8,150RPM actually. Yeah its nice, but the only bad part is that you have to be a lot more careful about banging the limiter on those burnouts and power slides. I think I'm going to use my stock tune to drive around during "normal" hours.

370zForever · 11-17-2009, 05:58 PM

Cool, I probably will raise it to 8,000 revs at most!! Can't wait to hear the engine roar at the redline.... Thanks for the help

370zForever · 11-17-2009, 06:43 PM

RCZ, how does your steering feel different after the modifications?? I think the suspension, camber kits, and the unsprung mass reduction really helped as well as lower weight itself....

You are a wildman! Nissan should pay you for your engine research.

RCZ · 11-17-2009, 10:20 PM

well it feels very very heavy with my current alignment settings. I like it because its smooth and predictable. Turn in is so crisp, I love it.

RCZ · 12-19-2009, 12:11 PM

Little update:

I have 20mm rear spacers, 15mm front spacers, hotchkis swaybars and a stillen pulley to install. All should be on by next week.

I ordered Stock size Nitto NT05's to replace my RE050As, should be here in a few days.

Pictures / videos coming of everything.
