    lots of fun but got killed by 300zx

    Ran my friend in his modded 300zx. He has some big turbos, built the engine right, AV gas tune. 466hp dyno and 501# torque. We went from a roll at 20mph and 40mph and I jumped pretty good and stayed with him up to about 80/90mph but when he hit 3rd I got pulled and there was nothing left. We...

    handling problems on uneven roads after lowering

    Hi guys, I recently lowered my vert using stock coupe springs cut 1/2 inch front and rear and added coupe shocks. I also added the new MM subframe connectors and already have the mm diff pinion angle kit. On interstate smooth roads, it responds very well and is stable and consistent. However...

    Posi inlet/TB port results

    Just got my 04 vert back with the new Posi inlet only/TB port. I wasn't looking for hugh gains, just something mild. Brian at Posi suggested we port the inlet side only and the TB as a test for a more mild port, not a full race port, and I took him up on it.He helped me out on the cost since it...

    will lowering affect pinion angle?

    hi, I recently lowered my car a bit, cut 1/2 coil out of coupe springs for my vert. It lowered the car about 3/4 inch all the way around. I have the MM solid bushing kit. Before the car was lowered it still had a little vibe, but not bad. Now I have a pretty bad vibe at several different speeds...

    optimum springs for 04 vert

    Hi guys, I have read the sticky and a lot of other posts regarding lowering/race springs. Most of the discussions have been on the coupes although there is a lot on Verts too. One thing that seems consistent is that the verts are not as stong as the coupes and flex a lot more. Thats why they...

    magnaflow catted X-pipe much louder than stock H pipe?

    Hi, I searched but couldn't really find how loud this is. I have a FR500 cat back and really like it, but I could live with a louder exhaust. Its more of an issue in a vert cause you hear a lot more than in a coupe. So, If I add the magnaflow catted hi flow X pipe in place of the stock H pipe...

    lightest 18" wheel for lowest price

    its a stupid title, but I have been searching and really haven't found a relatively light racing type wheel that is under $700 each. $%#@!! I look at some of the cheaper wheels and they weight in around 26/27# for a 18x9 . When I look at the expensive ones like Rays engineering or Volk they...

    Hi guys, I have posted before on my dyno results but this time I got tested on a dyno jet 268c and asked for SAE net rwhp.( In an earlier post I got tested on a mustang dyno and didn't get an SAE number so it was mistakenly high and overstated the HP ) We did three pulls at 437, 429 and...

    any belt slip with 2lb lower and 3.2 upper

    Hi guys, I researched this combo but couldn't find anything. I am still trying to stay stock looking ( retaining the pulley cover) while adding a pulley. I know I am pretty safe with just the 3.2 upper but from what I have read, it will not change things much so I thought I might add a 2lb or...

    Hi, I have spent a lot of time searching this with no luck, so sorry if the question has already been asked. My 04 is stock except for sig. I would do a 2.93 or 2.76 upper pulley but i have read most guys get belt slip without the 4 piece idler set. I want to keep the stock belt cage, so don't...
