Love that fat rubber on those wheels...

 

10" rims with PSS really make a difference on a RWD G with LSD. Tons of grip at the launch.

In other news... swung by my mechanic's shop today to discuss the 4.083 Gears, and unless something comes up we're on the schedule for next Wednesday. Hit or miss on the schedule, either way... it's happening soon.

 

Nice can't wait for that update....since your're digging out your rear end any consideration for adding the Nismo (Fins) or ZI (fins, extended capacity and taps for a diff cooler) cover with the fins?...functional if you ever decide to track but just purdy for those low rear end picutres

 

I know there are a lot of fans of square setups, but I don't think anything looks better than 275/35/19

 

I have thought about it, yes. Maybe down the road, but not today. That doesn't mean it's off the list, just not a priority. Nor is it a big mod, so it might just fit in between things someday.

Rear gears are the "big" mod for 2017
2018 - dyno tune
2019 - 2 piece rotors

 

Yes there is, 285/30/20 and 295/30/20

Looking forward to your review of the gears. Now that you have the summer setup back on, push that thing over the next week so that you can get a true feel for the gear upgrade. Curious to see what your impressions will be having to row through them alot quicker

 

nice big mod calendar.

I'm waiting for my rotors to be trashed to go two piece...at least on the front...at this rate I'll probably be upgrading next year or the end of this year...I've been running NDX pads that are designed to not trash the rotors...should have thought that one through better

 

WooHoo. I know this one has been a long time coming, so I'm very excited for you. Can't wait to hear your post-mod review on this!


Or 305/25R20

 

You should put an asterix beside that sedan wheel size lol

** Some modification required

Looking forward to the review John, should be a good read. Take DFS's advice and drive like you did (should have) 20years ago, so you can make a strong comparison between the setups.

 

Good advice, guys. At the moment, I'm just getting used to having my summer tires back on the car. But to your point... run some hole shots a few days before the mod.

In other news, the Diff Rebuild Kit that was sold me last year by TheNismoShop is missing one of two side bearings and one of two side seals. Approximately $60 in parts. So I contacted them today, and was told it's not their policy to address orders this old, that it was my fault for not checking the contents last year, and (I quote), "We're in the business of making money."

They actually said that to me on the phone. "We're in the business of making money"

Apparently return business and word of mouth referrals do not qualify in their "money making" approach.

 

It's idiotic how some company representatives act. As if they are doing YOU a favor by selling to or providing service to you... Professionalism is quickly becoming a thing of the past

 

WTF...its usually the least informed people with the poorest grasp of "making money" that make such broad statements... I wonder if you call back and talk to someone different if they'll be more helpful...good luck man

 

Well damn, i'll add them to my list of sellers NOT to buy from.

But did you not open the box all this time? Or did you only realize after going to install it?

 

I didn't open the box when I bought it, and only realized the problem after my mechanic looked at the components and asked me why there weren't two axle bearings.

On the phone, the rep confirmed my order in their records, but said it was "too old to do anything about." Then he blamed me for not bringing their mistake to their attention. Then he said there's no way to know I'm telling the truth because the record was marked "completed". And then he told me they can't just ship me parts for free on an 8 month old order because they were "in the business of making money." None of this makes sense. It's like upside-down world of Customer Service and simple business integrity.

I left a message with their Parts Department Manager, and he's not returned my call yet. I sent an email to the General Manager, and not received any feedback yet.

Let's see what happens tomorrow. I wonder if they have someone in charge of PR at their dealership? I'm rather upset. Obviously, it's not the money... a measly $60 in parts, for crying out loud. It's the principle of it all. In simple terms, I don't like being treated like a liar about something so obviously someone else's mistake. And I particularly don't like this ethical jiu jitsu that suggests it's just good business to screw over customers. It's nothing personal.

This text is on their website. Kind of ironic, IMO:
