VIDEO 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear pulls.

I could not see the RPMs that well since the camera was mounted in the steering wheel. Rev light could of helped by it was set at 8K RPMs. On perfect shifts, I lost traction through the better half of 2nd gear. Some of this video was taken 3 feet away from a solid brick wall and the car got sideways in some of the 2nd gear pulls and I did let off the throttle a couple of times to bring the car back in line.

I did preload the drivetrain and some of the 1st gear pulls came out decent but still losing traction/wheel hopping in most of 2nd.

This is the last time I'm driving it like this since the car needs the Nismo pivot ball and Nismo roller bearing installed which I have, and also the SPL F/R differential bushings which I also have and the rear one is blown currently. Also want a 850 torque rated clutch since this one seems to be letting go. Once I get all that sorted out I'm expecting a HUGE drop in 0-60mph time.

hahahaahah "What kind of LSD is that?!"

Traction .... that's the word of the day.Remember boys and girls , "If your spinning, you probably aint winning. To much Torque can be a bad thing.

The LSD was working really great. Laid down 2 solid long drags from a dig and people were impressed. Lost traction/wheel hopped in 2nd gear more than 1st.

I also need to tune it and run an aggressive tune with E85. Should be a nice power increase.

According to a lot of people torque should be nonexistent because of the HUGE DUAL 3" exhaust. I must have a small block Chevy motor in there that depends on back pressure for torque.

hmm, i always thought a modded 6MT would be a lot quicker than a modded 5AT, guess not. are you running the OEM 3.5fd gear set? wider wheels and tires out back would def help a lot. does sound nice though and really seems to come to life after 4k. have you looked into the Injected Performance rear diff brace?>>> http://www.350zmod.com/Injected-Perf...%20vq35rdb.htm

If it wasn't listed, everything else is stock. To put wider tires on I need new rims. I saw the rear brace when they came out with it. Really nice product.

I dont really understand the purpose of the vid (or the thread)... what are you showing us?

The title says 0-50, 60, 80 - but you dont show any runs going that high from 0 (most are 20-25mph roll), also I didnt see an 80mph run at all... and your post says you expect the 0-60 times to drop when you fix things, there was no 0-60 run

What m I missing?

You're missing the point of the video showing what an 05 6MT sedan can do in terms of acceleration with the mods that I have. 0 to whatever or 20 to whatever. That's the point of the vid. IF the car was tuned and it also didn't have the horrible wheel hop, traction loss because of small tires and finally the weak clutch, it would of been much better.

The 0-45 runs where done in a private parking lot and I simply ran out of room and was also next to a brick wall and the car went sideways in some of the pulls.

If the car disappoints you as well as the video itself, I don't care because I'm satisfied with the cars performance.

^^^ not sure why the attitude... I didnt say anything about the car's ability (why would I care?)... I'm trying to understand how the vid correlates with the thread title and your post?

There is no 0-50, 60 or 80 pull (as title states) and you mentioned 0-60 being faster when you make changes... faster than what? You didnt have a 0-60 pull in the vid.

Dont be so defensive man, I'm trying to understand what you are showing us.

A bunch of 20-25mph pulls... okay (but that's not what you referenced)... and I'm not even sure what a decent 25-60 mph pull would be.

A mod will change the title for you since it's that important to you. What kind of title would you suggest?
