Not sure if the color is important to you or not so here goes. And if you don't like the wheels I'd be happy to take them off for you :-)

 

twinninggggggg... lol. Car looks real good!

 

Nice wheels!

 

If it were me and I didn't want to go as aggressive in the gearing due to road tripping, the 6mt vert's pumpkin is a nice middle ground with 3.9 gears

 

No VLSD with that setup. Don't know why, but that's the way it is.

 

I get out of the military in a couple of months, so I won't be doing long drives as often. So gears are definitely an option.

Another thing I'm serious about is swapping out the crappy VLSD with a Quafe Helical differential. Once the VLSD fluid loses it's viscosity, it essentially acts like an open diff. I'm not a fan.

 

Is that right?sheeeee**t I'll defer to you on this but I'm genuinely surprised to hear that.I thought Nissan would use the same 3.9 rear end from the nismo 370z (going by this chart https://www.z1motorsports.com/upload...GearRatios.pdf )

 

Does vlsd really matter? Buy a diff with the gearing you want already installed and just get a real LSD like quiafe. Not cheap but well worth it.

 

I hear what you're saying about the VLSDs Life, but they're still good till about 60k miles before this happens...This past summer I put one in my sedan off of a 2011 IPL Coupe with 9k miles on it. Its a vast improvement over the open diff...and from my research (which admittedly may be misguided) they are smoother and quieter than all other lsds ...that being said, if you're over the long distance driving and are going to do big gears might as well go big on the lsd too

 

i think its a matter of how aggressive you want to get and the cost in practice the difference starts at about 3 times more but is probably closer to 4-5 times more and not just bc of parts costs. with a vlsd you can just swap pumpkins, but building out a rear end usually requires specialized skill and tools many regular mechanics cant handle and they have to farm out the work

 

Yeah, I can't explain it, but it's true. The rear diff in the 6MT Vert has a 3.916 final drive, which is a enough of a bump over the 3.692 rear end in the 6MT Coupe/Sedan to make that very heavy car feel downright snappy in the lower gears. It doesn't do anything to make the Vert feel any less like a boat when you swing into a corner, but that's another issue.

Anyway, yeah, no limited-slip.

Does it matter? I guess it depends who you are and what you're doing. I suppose if you drove the same car back-2-back, with and without limited-slip, only then would you really know the difference (no pun ). And even then, only if you drove it like you stole it.

 

Awww man, thanks for answering the question, and sorry to hear about the accident.

 

Details, Z?

Are you going to un-box it on day one with a new progress thread?

 

​​​​​​That's the plan! I'm gonna try to get used to the stock clutch pedal before I install the RJM. Order of mods will probably be:
-JDM tails
-Wheels/Summer Tires
-Coilovers, full SPL toe/camber kits - already purchased
-Fast Intentions exhaust, which should be shipping soon.

 

Are you getting this from an Infiniti dealership, another dealer, a used-car lot, private owner?

Whoops, you stopped typing before you could get the words "sway bars" down.
