True that (about the Seattle weather) But I must admit the Seattle weather has been pretty nice. I'm ready for the Islands tho!

So I just installed a gtspec front strut bar and I am feeling vibrations thru my pedals. Is this normal. Not sure if I like how the car feels with strut bar. Anybody else experience anything similar when they installed theirs.

Second...met a guy here yesterday w an 04 Z. Hfc and exhaust and 200 shot of NOS...that's it..no tune or nothing. Joe..ask Lo how that engine will hold up. I talked to him bout an osirus tune w u guys. He said his mechanic in Tri cities told.him not cuz it would f up his A/F ratios ..I kindly tutored him on the art of osirus...I'm wondering if he's ever hit the NOS on his ride...get back to me on this one pls...just out of curiosity.

Not if you plan on getting a whole exhaust at some point in the future. Swap out those air-flow choking cats for some HFC and you'll notice a MUCH bigger difference. Or get a dyno tune to utilize the power that you have already and nissan just didn't let you get to by not syncing the throttle If anyone has doubts PM shank about how it feels on a stock ride

Yes and thats exactly why I don't like all the braces and we promote the bolt on dif brace as opposed to solid bushings... All the drivetrain vibrations are transferred directly to the car and then to the driver, granted you will have a more solid ride and feel more "connected" with your car and the road... but thats not what everyone wants.

Horrible idea, Lawrence won't even tune for NOS on a VQ unless its direct injection, and no one has the money to do that. With the way the intake is set up (coupled with a finicky motor that doesn't like huge jolts of torque) it can be hit n miss with the mixture and that means a possibility of boom... and that will always reflect negatively on the tuner even if they told you please please please don't spray.. but I'll do my best to tune it for you anyways. I have a strong feeling that the reason he got the NOS in the first place was to compensate for the sluggish nature of the car, something Osiris does very well. I bet he wouldn't even want the NOS anymore if he got a proper dyno tune.

Sukh you still have the engine damper on too right? That'd add to the vibrations...the strut bar may just magnify the effect of all the "stiffening" you did...that's what she said. I'd ditch that motor damper IMO
