Dude, back your whip upto your computer, we'll do a group diagnostics on it.

You want an answer but give no 411. How many miles on your car. What was your last service ( if any). What gas are you putting in and what octane level. When do you feel you have loss of power, high end, low end, all the time.

Have you changed the air filter ( 15k ). That will put some giddy up back in your pony. No plugs not unless you have over 105k on yours.

I'd be looking someplace else other than your 19's.

I second this. I just had this done after mine was feeling sluggish. Once the carbon deposits were cleaned, the car roars once again.

Sluggish..........?

The only time I got that feeling was when I switched from Mobil 1 to RedLine
synthentic oil. On the way home from my shop I was wondering what the
problem was. After a few miles it went away......thank God. I used the same
weight oil just a diffrent/better brand........strange!

damn i feel bad. lol sorry all. maybe i should've rephrased my unrefined statement.

the G current has 51k miles, it's an 03.5 or 03 w/e same shiet.

the car runs strong. power wise. i have a nismo cai (thanks to mike! =)) hks hi power, motordyne 1/2 iso thermal spacer, lowered on s techs, and the 19inch winnings.

it's serviced every 3k miles, i just did the diff, and tranny oil, last thousand miles, i had spark plugs changed just because... (forgot why really =P)


when i meant sluggish, i kind of meant, handling wise... anyone else? the car responds great still kinda... ahah but i agree with maj83's comment on how i got use to the car. but damn... i miss the feel. everytime i sit in the damn s2k it feels like a rocket, and im assuming its because i dont drive it all the time. then again same with the Z but... when i sit in stupid mikes vortech'd G, it feels a tad bit stiffer on the wheel etc.

maybe coilovers will do it for me? looking to get hks rs... got a pretty swt deal


*edit*

forgot to say thanks for all the responds, bear with me i'm an idiot at times

the s2K is a go cart compared to the G... it's going to handle much more nimble... you keep mentioning getting in the S2K and how sluggish the G feels... you're not gonna get the G to feel like the S2K no matter what you do.

But to help - you might consider after market anti-sway bars, lowering springs, and possible strut bar. That might give you a little better feel (but it won't be the S2K).
