Good job. I am sorry they disqualified your fast lap. You did well regardless. I may steal your numbering idea someday.

Luna, my car def isnt winning any shows, esp w the rock chips on my nose. Its a performer not a beauty queen:tup:

Red, I figured the oil cooler wasnt necessary for the Dragon, its just something I feel I should do :icon17:

Im very interested in sways cause itll finish up my suspension work. Anybody here running sways? If so which ones and impressions?? Im kinda leaning toward Whitelines.

My personal take on the cooler is wait as long as you can, so if something goes wrong, there's less for Nissan to point at.

The problem with the hotchkis is the front is way too stiff relative to the rear. You dial in ever more understeer than the car has from the factory...

To compensate, most guys wind up running 3* or so of camber up front, which you won't want to do on a street car.

oh, you're talking about lug nuts? :icon17: yes, im currently running muteki SR48's on my Weds. Wheelmate product (JDM) but made in Taiwan (:ugh2:).

the Titeks (on sale) are great lugs. i just needed steel ones as im currently running spacers without longer studs. i have the full 10mm thread area even with the 5mm spacers behind the Weds per recommendation by Muteki so im good.

Quick question guys. Im gonna start a few projects to get ready for ZDAYZ. Good excuse for more mods right? I have 3 things in mind but only have the cash to commit to two before she goes away for the winter. Choice numero uno, front & rear sways. Numero dos, cross drilled rotors w/ upgraded pads & brake lines. Numero tres, oil cooler. I fig I should def do the oil cooler although Id RATHER get choice 1 &2. Thoughts?? Also thoughts/opinions on oil catch cans. Worth it?

Originally Posted by FL 4Motion (Post 1330701)

hmm, well, if you are only planning on street driving, no track time, then cross drilled rotors are fine, but they are more suseptible to cracking if you start tracking your car so I'd recommend slotted, j hook, or even just smooth (like oem) rotors instead.

I'd do lines/pads/fluid and stay on stock rotors till they're done, upgrade the sways and if you ever plan on tracking the car, add an oil cooler. :tup:

This is exactally what I think Im gonna do actually. I was thinking today that I should run my stock rotors down before blowin money on new ones. I do hope to track the car, at least a few times, eventually.
