If you're expecting big numbers out of a NA tune DON'T. I see so many people expecting to see numbers rivaling a base turbo tune on a base or even modded NA motor. It just doesn't work that way. Most...

For sure there is supposed to be a spare. The Enkie spare only comes with Sport or Nismo because it's needed to clear the Brakes. The base models get a solid steel wheel. It's easy to miss under the...

Aluminum bolt? If so that was really dumb (or intentional to keep us from tampering). Aluminum and Steel(the flange and threads) when heat cycled repeatedly will fuse. Fuse=sux

As i understand it 409 steel is stronger and resists temp better than 304. I could be wrong, don't feel like google-ing. Just saying different doesn't mean better or worse.

How many miles on the track? If I had to put a normal road wear mileage to what happens on one track day I'd say at least 500 miles worth of wear.

Ok tires on a 370Z. If you drive like me (HARD) 10-12K miles on the rears and double that on the fronts.

I didn't pay trade tax. Happy about that. My car was still on the lot when I went in for a...

IF (big if at this point) my car see's the track it will only be briefly; maybe 1 or 2 HPDEs or something. Hawk HPS is a good compromise I think, and for my street driving style it's in the right...

So far the RE-11s outshine the Advans in every way. I have more cold weather grip by a mile. Stiff sidewall, quiet(er) ride, confident grip. Depending on how they wear this may be my new favorite...

Awesome. Thats the kind of affirmation I was looking for. Thanks Guys.

After reading of the disaster that was Car and Drivers evaluation of the Nismo Z I've been looking in to some upgrades. Now it seems to me that the only possible upgrades are Pads, Shims, Fluid, SS...

Spot on. Wait until Greddy releases their TT kit. My guess it'll be in the 10K range; however, you're probably still looking at a tune and install.

After owning a turbo IS300 I would say the BEST...

I actually went with the stock 285 rear. I wanted to compare apples to apples (or as close as i could get) first time around and then pick the superior tire for a 305 next time.

Just ordered RE-11 for my NISMO

RE-11s on the way from tire rack. There isn't a 245 size so I had to up-size to 255 front. However, I'm considering running the Advans up front for a while because they still have quite a bit of life...

The front bar on the NISMO is easily removed! That being said, it may not need to be. Water-to-air ICs have the benefit of only needing a small core in the air.

These things look amazing. The R&D you've done looks to have paid off. The dyno numbers are impressive. However, I wonder with the large holes in the flange if warping will become a problem.

I get wheel hop fairly regularly when pulling out of my drive on cool mornings. It's not really a "problem" more so a compromise you make when having an independent rear suspension and higher HP.
