    How to make the GR steering more stiffer!?

    Apparently staggering offset will induce under steer. In the case of 370z cars, with a factory stagger, they are not so neutral or balanced. They tend to under steer from factory. Once people switch up to a square setup, they tend to go neutral. Among other cars. Some suggest with good...

    How to make the GR steering more stiffer!?

    Not sure. I've never really looked at how a staggered offset wound effect the cars tendency to over/under steer. I'll do some digging later today.

    How to make the GR steering more stiffer!?

    Give it a go. I don't see why it wouldn't work? Oh, throw in some poly pivot bushings for the LCA. Since you'll have them off for the ALK, might as well replace the bubblegum pivot bushing.

    Im not so interested in the oil capacity, it looks only marginal, but rather the filtration or filter media size. I would measure how much oil it holds and what size the filtering media is before even using it.

    That's it. Why not? And your actually not. Oldmansti had it on his car, unbeknownst to him.

    thats for the older gen, but yes. The newer gen also has a plastic link but it's a ball and socket design. Yet another failure point I don't think is acceptable.

    No joke. They're partially plastic.

    You could be driving an 08+ Rex and have the plastic end links. SMH. What a failure that is!

    Cut around the top on the O-ring side, like opening a can of soup. You'll cut where the cap and can are crimped together. You'll pull the guts out and stretch the filter media out. Check out the thread I tagged you on about oil filters. Follow the links and you can see demonstrations of the...

    New Cobb Tuning Products

    When was there in '12. They were fuming over DW injectors, specifically the 1000cc variants. Apparently they were coming apart and dropping their bits in the engine. Cobb stated that DW was not willing to accept a problem so Cobb decided to not support DW on the injectors. I just looked at...

    How to make the GR steering more stiffer!?

    welaish, may I suggest installing an ALK (anti lift kit) Whiteline makes them as well as others, under different names, but the idea is to have adjustable caster along with a poly bushing, in most cases. The poly bushing will help resist alignment changes under load. Anither option is to...

    ^ very interseting. From a tuners perspective, is there not a way to make an OTS map for ethanol but keep it on the conservative or safe side? I'd think if you can make a generic gas map, you could bundle up a specd injector with a pump, OTS map and have it be safe enough for the masses? Oh...

    Considering they won't develop an OTS E85 map, I'd still be surprised at a turbo kit with an OTS map. But hell, who knows? We shall wait and see.

    Offering the turbo kit is one thing but if they offer engine management with it? That's something else. I'm frankly surprised that it's taken this long for them to expand their product base with a turbo kit. However, I'd be a bit scared to see it offered with an OTS map.

    Oil filters for the STi

    So this has been discussed but maybe this is a new addition. The factory Mazda 3 Tokyo Roki filter directly swaps to the STi. It's the same thing. The Mazda guys have used the purolator filters to replace the Tokyo Roki filters. The Purolator filter is larger than the Tokyo Roki OEM. The Mazda...

    The filter you bought is the correct part. The other filter works as well. Dunno what the other owner was thinking but I'd be interested to see the filter media and compare it in size to the OEM specd or other branded , same sized filters. If there is an increase of oil capacity and filter...
