Mine ripped yesterday, I'm going to run out to the dealership and see how much a GA16DE one costs, but on Courtesey Nissan they had them for $33 while SR20 one is over $60.


If you get the GA16DE, report back about cable strength. Supposedly that's the difference between the SR20 besides it being a little shorter. I wondered if that was actually true(about the strength).

I think we've all been wondering the same thing. We hear it's true, but I think we'd all like to see it.

This is what I need for a daily. 461whp with 35+ MPG


I daily drove my B13 SER for a little while until it blew up, but that wasnt the car's fault, it was mine

^^^ Hmm, how and when did this happen?? (i.e. how was the car being driven and how has it been driven in previous ownership under your hands?? Clutch setup??) What tranny was it??

lol it happens man, with the power im making ive gone through 2 gearstacks in 8 months 8500 miles, i do however abuse the car every single day i drive it so its somewhat my fault, i have yet to break a trans at the track, its aways from the everyday beating.

Also with these new longer gears i should be at about 3000 rpms doing 70mph instead of almost 4k. I can probably expect darn close to 40 mpg if i baby the gas but that usually doesnt happen. haha

I love it. Take that crappy V8 owners. hahahaha

I DD my turbo NX as well. It's all in my sig. It's only been up and running for about 2 months now, but it is great. It's not hard to drive everyday, and it's really fun. Unfortunately, I need better tuning as I am only getting 20mpg mixed driving. All highway I only got 27mpg
