Highly recommend NPC single plate organic. Rated to over 400kw, nice and compliant. Tail shaft will be fine if it's not making any noises now. Same with your diff and axles.

Hey mate, if your FGX has the original gearbox, it'll be a TR6060. My advice would be to choose your workshop and tuner first. They will tell you what you need, and what they like working with. I sometimes feel for workshops and tuners who have people coming to them with unknown parts and workmanship, and expecting great results. It's often cheaper to get it all done together, in house. If you're going to modify and tune, do it properly the first time. Get valve springs done. You don't need head studs. I think just for tune anywhere from $1000-$1500 seems to be the going rate. Consider getting a new clutch, and tip to bottom service at the same time. Hope that helps

Sweet, didn't realise they still made them

New oem crank?

Will be super interested on the post mortem

Jesus. Haven't heard of a timing chain snapping randomly. Did you have a solid timing chain tensioner?

Yeah, A1R seem to be around $370 a tyre, which I'm not keen on. I think I might try Nitto NT01

Not much to report on this bad boy. I've moved to Canberra, and have been pretty busy. Everything seems to be working as it's supposed to, and the tune gets better and better with every drive. Only thing I need is new tyres. Just have to work out the best semi slick option. ET Streets seem to be ridiculously expensive these days...

Nice one mate, looks like it has all the mods you'd want for a daily!

Sounds like some good testing man. I have to admit, I keep waiting for the "I decided to send it and it broke" post haha

Sounds meaty.

I think you misunderstood. I'm advocating big single...

Sounds like a lot of work man. All I'll say is return to stock, and/or twin turbos FTL haha

Fair enough. Understand why you're considering a twin turbo option, but as has already been said, twin 35s won't offer any advantages over a big single. I could be wrong, but isn't reliability at the current power level important before you consider upgrading?

Have you considered nitrous?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The bloke I spoke to cut away the G55 because it didn't make the power, or at least not the advertised power. I don't think the G series is too popular with the RB and JZ community either, but who knows, maybe they're the only reliable option for big hp drag applications

I randomly spoke to some dude that tried the G55 when it first came out, and wasn't happy with it. Drag racing application, I think he changed it out for a precision

Got fuel economy down to 20L/100km, which is a vast improvement. Just completed a 400km road trip and it performed flawlessly. Took the old man for a spin on the low boost setting - bit of a fright for a guy who normally drives around at 20km/h under the speed limit. I'm really happy with my turbo choice for this car. The G35-900 makes a great manual street car. I've got usable boost at 2000rpm, and it's never far away from frying tyres whenever required. I know I still owe footage - maybe in the new year!

Kinda defeats the purpose of going away from the factory manifold if it doesn't come with an external wastegate option man.

Geez, you don't stuff around. Took me half the day to take my front end apart to clean up some wiring, change headlight globes and do some cleaning.

Always the way man. Ouch

No 4-wheel power slides at your power level?

So secretive... are you under surveillance or something? Dial a hoon concerns? ACA door knocking in your area to find the owner of all the black lines around the place? Or are you going to race this bad boy and attempt to pants some big names?

Booo!

Yep, for your FG, the 5 bar and loom is what you want. The resolution refers to the number of cells below 0 manifold pressure that are available to input values against everything from fuel trim, ignition timing etc. The 4 bar would hunt around the smaller number of tuning cells, and consequently drove like arse. The Omni 5 bar has changed everything from idle, transient throttle, engine smoothness, ignition timing stability, fuel economy.
