be careful...you might make all these changes to get it to hook, and when it does hook... something will break lol

agreed. this is one of my fears with going with sticky DR's on my car even being just N/A.

my luck the extra grip will end up blowing out my diff or a axle

I honestly dont think you need to worry about anything except your axles and rear differential mount. The 3rd gear on some of the older trans used to separate but I have not not yet heard of that happening since the CD009 trans or any of the 370z trans (and it was only the high HP TT cars that I ever heard of it happen to). Our driveshaft and differential is in the category of "bulletproof" as in nearly unheard of failures.

The diff mounts are cheap and a couple hours of work to change out. The axles arent hard but expensive if you replace with upgraded ones. Just preload the drivetrain before launch and dont stay in it during wheel hop and you probably wont break an axle.

solid info.

sadly i will not tell you how i ran my fastest 2 ET's and other 1/4 mile runs then lol my technique probably wouldnt fall into ideal for most.

also idk if it's the 7AT but i'm never had any wheel hop issues ever. i've spun on lesser prepped tracks, bald tires, or airport run ways but never any hop.

plus i think i have the only Z that will left me light up the rearsfor full burnouts with just VDC off and none of that pulling the brake fuse stuff that i see everyone say you "need" to do lol

I had Fast Intentions put in Whiteline diff bushings after they tore theirs up during their test runs (video's on youtube).
