Exhaust sounds great! Congrats

 

The Z1 Headers are a great choice, with proven gains.

 

Yeah but for VQ35DE, although they can be used on VQ35HR and VQ37VHR engines with the use of Stock DE Catalytic Converters, which is not an option or route I'll take. as I have HFCs and not even gonna bother putting stock VQ35DE cats..

 

Or buy DE RHFC? They make the most gains so far.

 

The DC are almost the same price as the Stillen, so idk since I can't find any review on those.

The AMS looks nice and tempting...but can't find any reviews or videos of them on 370z/g37

x2

 

damn, well I'm not doing it anytime soon, probably sometime in spring, if you find any reviews or any more info regarding either, let me know !

 

Hmm I was just on Z1motorsports' website and noticed they have 3 different options for Differential Final Drive Gears Ring and Pinion which is 3.9, 4.08 - the most common one and 4.36, so my question is, are 3.9 or 4.36 gears also applicable for our 6MT sedans as well? The reason I'm asking is I haven't seen anyone ever mention a 3.9 or 4.36 upgrade?

 

3.9 is the final drive ratio of the rear gears in the 6MT Vert.

Pretty sure they did that because the vert is 400 pounds heavier than otherwise.

However (!!!) there is no VLSD in the Vert 6MT.

 

what about 4.36? the higher the number the shorter the gear ratio? meaning faster acceleration? I'm just making sure I'm getting this right.

 

And the lower your gas mileage ;-)

My coils are in, ordering the end links and everything should go on next weekend. Then an alignment and I'll be good. Well, then tires and a tire swap and then I'll be good. Until I have to head back to NYC in Dec....

Mike I thought about it and I think I'm just going to get my headlights fixed and leave everything else alone. Turns out my tint is too dark for TN so I should swap it out. Though operation whatever it was is also over so I doubt I'll have any additional issues again.

 

Any options on tires besides the Michelin PSS? I need size 245/45/18 and 275/40/18.
They are not available on my island and my only choice would be tirerack.com

With shipping the price goes to $1240 :|

Any second best options?
I really wanted the Michelin PSS

 

Very nice Mike! Your car sounds great! And it's cool hearing the tires scratch on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift.

Man!!! That sounds like someone with a GIANT-@$$ flappy booger in their lungs as they struggle to breathe with pneumonia!

Nice catch on the no VLSD in the 6MT Vert Rochester.

 

I went with the Hankook Ventus V12s. Not PSS but working okay for me.

 

Considering how many mods you've done in the last year, the parts that you used, and the cumulative cost for all that, plus shipping to PR, plus installation; and suddenly you're complaining about a few hundred dollars as the reason to compromise on the tires you really want? The tires!?!

When you put it into context like that...

 

Check out the Bridgestone Potenza S04.

Having had both.....the S04s do everything the PSS do. And they have stiffer sidewalls, so the steering response is better.

Full disclosure: I only have 600 miles on my PSS.
