Its funny because when the car had the V6 in it I bought an off the shelf single 37r turbo kit and it didnt fit for ****, rattled everywhere and the shop flamed me online saying I didn't know what I was doing and it would of fit fine if I let a professional do it. (like theres more than one way to install a v-band fitting)So from now on Ill just have **** made ON my car so I know it fits.

Haha yeah im still gonna do that on stock suspension too. But until ive run a faster time I cant talk ****. They did get me perma banned from my350z. At first I was calling them to see if they could work work with me since I just spent 10,000$ on an entire setup including standalone ECU...they wouldn't help. Then I found out that they scammed me and others on the kit. The 37r kit was 300$ MORE expensive than the 35r kit(same kit just a different turbo and didn't come with an intake pipe because it had a bigger 4" inlet. Come to find out the turbo itself was only 70$ more expensive than the 35r so they charged me 300$ for the turbo kit, 70$ more expensive kit minus an intake pipe..which should of been a wash.. Once I called them out on that they started ignoring me so I posted my findings out online for others and they starting bashing me with the "installer error" BS..so thats when I laid into them and the site banned me cuz they are a paying sponsor. Im sorry but if your sponsor is screwing people you should side with the people..a few people since have been banned for "bashing" them.

Thanks alot! Is that inside diameter? So the stainless is 2.5 pipe. The manifolds had to be ground down on the out side to 2.5? I love your car, if you can put that in a 350Z, i know it can fit in a 81Trans Am!

The diff itself is fine...its been ripped out(as a whole) two times now. The stock diff is held in by 3 bolts by 3 rubber bushings. The first time i ripped it out I just had to replace the two front bent bolts and the rear stud that bolts into the back of the diff cover..which snapped causing the problem originally. Then I went to the track a few times came home and saw the diff sitting VERY crooked so I removed the two front bent bolts and the rubber bushings and replaced them with full alum. bushings. This time when i hit the pot hole it somehow snapped the rear 12mm bolt once again. So this time I drilled out the old stud..then drilled out the holes to accept an m14x2.0 stud...AGAIN replaced the two front bent bolts and this time added custom braces that bolt to the diff cover and drills through the sub frame and mounts solid. So now, instead of having 2 forward bolts and 1 rear stud, I have 2 forward bolts 1 rear stud and 2 more rear supports that will never break or allow the rear stud to ever break again.
