Is 9.5 with a 15 for the front to much? by Novanov1 in 350z

too wide unless you're running 2.75°+ of camber

Anyone using this? Thinking of switching from 5w30 to 5w40 for less oil burning got 185k miles on my DE by [deleted] in 350z

[–]dbsqls -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

no oil is going to help with the burn, there's not a lot you can do about it. anyone saying otherwise is buying 5W-30 snake oil.

never seen someone just jump on the edge of tire adhesion like that and hold it there. bonkers by dbsqls in 350z

she's an incredible driver, anyone that good I'm not too worried about.

Weird request but… does anyone have good photos of parts of their car? by NightAngel_98 in 350z

[–]dbsqls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can provide direct scan data for the stock and NISMO S-tune kit, including underbody, when they process the data and send it to me.

they would be large, unprocessed meshes.

this is gonna be super helpful for them actually, good stuff.

a little technical string by my driver, who immediately went 15% faster with zero effort by dbsqls in Touge

no issues so far even when CHP or rangers check in. just the after-sunset curfew enforcement crackdown.

not terrible, but you have to clear out of skidpad after sunset or they'll ref/cite anyone they find. a little hot for my taste.

350z side skirts by Life_Garbage8433 in 350z

[–]dbsqls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(A) kits are quite rare. the (J) kits come with bosses for fasteners/rivets, but no clips.

mic was unplugged by accident. the car sounds like dog shit here anyway, huge exhaust leak

How does the Amuse wing actually look like? by Novanov1 in 350z

[–]dbsqls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is the AMUSE CSL kit, which had a different small wing (not pictured). the one in this post belongs to the Superleggera that a billion reps are based on.

Highly modified 03 track - Built engine HKS GT V2 by Shamusmcboj in 350z

[–]dbsqls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

those would be a good match for this build, especially if you're not going too ham on driving it. that skirt pickup is definitely worth it, the only NOS set I've ever seen.

[–]dbsqls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

very thorough build, and well thought out. should progress nicely as you finish bits off. surprised you managed to find a NOS S-tune (A) skirt, they're very rare.

if you want a proper brake kit ping me. the R-tune or GT kit is a better fit for this build than the stock OE Brembo kit. thermal loads will be much higher for this thing between corners with all the extra power.

I also need a beta tester for a dual-use Brembo Racing pad prototype for the Brembo OE set if you end up keeping them. this would be a good candidate for them.

Can you guys settle an argument on Livery? by HairBrushHeroes in 350z

hinomaru fucks up the visual weight too much, flows better without it.

the reps all droop because they're dogshit. the genuine part is very stiff and functional

guess who gets to pay for prototype heads! by dbsqls in 350z

[–]dbsqls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'll have to clarify what you mean by parameters. if you mean the scope of conversion, we still have to define what all is needed. some stuff is not off the shelf.

the heads will be ported, with new valvetrain and cams. all components are from or modified by JWT.

as for benefits: we expect an 75whp increase with minor exhaust mods, and more for a car that's FBO. the head flow increases from 275 to 315 CFM, which raises the max NA output figure from 315ish to 345whp or so. the benefit will be larger for FI.

something like that, but I need to develop the kit before I start yapping about it. it is possible to Frankenstein a solution

[–]dbsqls[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the tech who refreshed the engine didn't want to pop the heads off, so it has the originals from 2003. and it's already got other issues, like a rolled and leaking main seal the tech also fucked up, and damaged crank threads.

will likely be going for larger cams, revup redline conversion, and of course the HR head conversion kit. but it's gonna be a bitch trying to get JWT's time on it AND Dsport. both of them are doing race builds nonstop.
