What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

kynseon · 02-13-2015, 05:40 PM

I just installed the motordyne art pipes.. does anyone know if the sound improves as it breaks in or that little rasp will stay.

Drove the Z to V day dinner in 6 degrees last night, it was the first time she moved in a few weeks. Oh do I miss driving it more than 1-2 days a month.

Took a ride to Saint Augustine today, had some lunch at Harry's (so Good)

Cold ... gettin' down to 3 degrees tonight. This is 4WD truck weather. So ... I let the Z stay home in the garage.

diff is all buttoned back up and found an exhaust leak on the ark's resonators that are above the main muffler. had it welded back at a local shop so it delayed me from starting the car up. first impressions of the new diff...feels a little weird on hard corners, its alot more controlled than before! i hit a corner with a slight uphill/dip where i can usually get some slight rear lifting, and it performed beautifully. once the right wheel hit the ground i heard some tire squeal. eat my traction, quaife!

Please share your diff's specs/brand, etc.

wavetrac! its an ATB type diff. similar to a quaife, except the wavetrac has an improved design which allows the car to still have traction where the quaife becomes an open diff - when a single wheel is in the air, and on deceleration. it used to be that nissan/nismo was the only distributor, but vividracing is an authorized disti as well. hit em up if you're interested. i think im the first one to put one into the 370

The Project 370Z car had one. Of course, that was a Nissan vehicle. Perhaps you are talking about individual owner (vs race team or a sponsor)?

Either way, all of my research has indicated that this is the one to get when I upgrade the VLSD. Good info here

diff bushing is at least 5 hours. headers, another 5 hours, and the manifold...probably an hour or two. that is ALOT of work

haha yes, that! all you need is another driver side stub axle, part number ends in JK01B. oh and some new bearings/seals. i had my entire diff rebuilt since i was in there, minus new gears. didnt have money left over or else i wouldve upgraded to 3.9's
