Who's making the move to STU?

The only real trick is to get the inner diameter of the sleeve and the width just right. Pretty easy if you know someone with a lathe that can turn these parts for you.

Should be, and then I can just get some shims in there to take up the width.

We had our first event of the season, today (well, yesterday as it's 12:23 AM). This was just a practice event and I decided to try a different camera view. I ran my car in the morning, but was mostly dirty, so I uploaded my fastest scratch, which was flirting with FTD. The car is mostly unchanged from last year. I was still on last year's tires. Last weekend I decided to take out my Corbeau's and threw the stock seats back in as the Corbeau's just didn't fit correctly in the car. I will replace them with something else in the future.

In the PM, a friend of mine insisted that I should hop into his car, so I did.....a 2018 GT3. This WAS good for FTD.

Whew, finally got into the forums after a month of reading along.
Sold off everything, including my old 350z build, to go for a more competitive build and save some money at the same time.

Starting with a 2016 Nismo 6MT -- maybe not the optimal submodel for weight but it's the one that I wanted.

My MCS 2WR order is being built and I'll have an OS Giken on the way soon enough. I'm not going to get the higher-capacity housing, just to see if avoiding the displacement of sensors helps keep the ABS issues away.

On the cheaper side of the build, I've never had so much trouble deciding on an intake and brake pads before...

Posting a little build thread on reddit too. https://www.reddit.com/r/370z/commen...nismo_for_stu/

Might be a good idea not replacing the diff cover. Though, it seems that every one of us that does have the ABS problem have the Z1 cover. So, maybe the others don't have the issue? I'm really not sure.

That may be the case, as it should only depend on whether or not the covers displace the sensors. This feels bad in general since it seems like Nissan could have just avoided putting the sensors there.

That said, since I have a Nismo, I already have a finned cover so I'm just going to pass on the extra capacity. No reason the OSG needs a different cover for fitment, right? I had one in my 350 without a different cover so I assume it doesn't matter.
