Texas is like 2 day drive? Lol or maybe 3.

Takes me 5 hours just to leave the state. If I were you, I'd just fly. The visit to Austin is worth it.

well i didn't do it today but got a sudo update on it... dropped it off at Soho Motorsports friday for some drivetrain love. clutch, lightweight flywheel, cmak kit, carbotech LSD and a 4.08 FD gear install. should be a fun combo when I get it back!

Great list of mods! Those are the next big things on my list.

I'll probably shoot for the Nismo ratio though, 3.90. A 4.08 might be a bit much, for me anyway.

You don't want to go to Oklahoma lol. He can come visit you.

Where you going in Asia? Thinking maybe I'll drive the Z to Japan after ZDayZ

There both are good, with the ARK you will get less drone and still sound sweet.

if i had bought new i probably would have done the same. I had 4.36 in my 240sx. THAT was ridiculous. so i'm hoping only going up one spot from the nismo won't be stupid lol.

4.08's are great. You will feel the difference. A tune will be needed to line up your SRM.

One of the many reasons why I chose the base model myself. The more "manual" my car is, the better IMHO.
