The Z1 diff cover is not handling more torque. Same mounting point. Same positioning of the rear stud. Same torque transferred. Yeah, it probably has more meat around it to grip that stud better. But the torque goes from the cast iron of the diff, to the 10ish bolts on the cover, to the cover...
The diff brace simply in my eyes with experiences of my FD, was that the rear end isn’t a glass akin to my FD. The Brace simply gives more rigidity and doesn’t force your bushings to flex as much, if we were to compare it to say a strut bar in the engine for performance wise it would be probably...
I believe we had a discussion about that not too long ago, Z1 i wouldn't recommend bushings from as your first option, look into SPL and GKtech though Z1 is also good, I would bias the SPL and GKtech more. Solid steel bushings would probably be my choice from Z1 though, I would say if you are...
You should Use the Nismo competition Oil, it is significantly better at temps than the alternatives that can go in, and it chatters less than the others from my own research. When the differential gets up to temp it's very predictable and easy to use. I'll just attribute all of that to the...
well it depends on how well you are utilizing the differential as well, on the Nismo I see average 190-210 after very hard drives, on my Sport with the Nismo LSD I see upwards of 210-240F but again that's some pretty wack and crazy driving utilizing the differential aka power on turns hard brake...
Some videos of Revs, drive-by
and some interior clips where the car peaks at near 19-20PSI of boost. Few things to say, this exhaust sounds amazing under load- you start to hear changes at certain RPMS that signify VVT, around 6300-7000 you hear on the inside this almost switch that makes...
https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/tomei-y-pipe-and-z1-competition-ti-titanium-exhaust-nismo-z.5020/#post-104034 Very good exhaust tone, and it's titanium with cool coloring over time?
remember, the Nismo has been tuned for overboosting and therefore has a bigger expansion tank, having a tune of just 20 more HP and 34+ LBF, the power increase is everywhere on the powerband- therefore more heat. More power = more heat, to make it reliable it's a much needed upgrade. And I...
Seibon’s brake cooling kit is arguably the most efficient for it's simplicity compared to Stillen’s even more so since the CFM is much greater at a lower cost, but Stillen’s offers more flexibility. You don’t necessarily have to route ducting all the way to the front bumper. Thanks to the...
Despite their look, the stock air box and filter are more than enough, the aftermarket just gives noises, otherwise it’s not as restrictive as thought.
I think from personal experience it has to do with Transmission Temp and the way of driving, when the trans gets up to temp it is holding gears longer in general, and naturally going 70 cruising the shift logic will just adjust to that, if it’s sport plus it would be different. And again the...
There is this video where many have opted for Greddy A2A, and in my opinion seems better than Z1's it's really nice to see the bros overseas have wonderful taste in mods.
Check this https://www.eatsleepboost.lt/tech-info/nissan-tech-info/nissan-r200-diff-ratios/. And in regards to the diff, R200 can usually handle more power and is bigger but not necessary. The biggest difference can be appearance where older R200’s have a bulge and r190 are slimmer. Is there a...
I'm using Factory Diff bushings as that's more than adequate, Nissan has always been like that. I use 75w140 without a friction modifier and it's quite quiet majority of the time besides the break in. Usually for the chassis reinforcements they are offering I wouldn't say they are needed since...
That's one beautiful color, if it's manual could I have the dealerships name? Again if you don't mind. I've been interested in the Wangan Blue for some time. Thank you in advance!
The LSD itself is essentially a direct swap here are some photos : I'm sure the difference is noticeable, the biggest pro to this LSD is not only is it fantastic as was shown in the 2023-2024 super Taikyuu racing; but Nissan offers a warranty on it. It can fit the base sport, and performance...
Could be the wastegates, but if it returns to normal then it's being electronically limited most likely. I tried starting my Z and it took some time to start and turbos did not want to make boost, they spooled but no boost itself. I turned it off and started again it works. Perhaps it's a safety...
Either or is fine, I personally like Nismo. Z1 has a sale ongoing so perhaps you can snag a deal. Both Z1 and Nismo offer a cooling fan as well for the Z but unless you are doing extremely hard sessions ( if you don’t overheat brakes engine oil etc) then it’s pretty much mandatory. The diff puts...
