That car only ever saw 225 tires on it. The VLSD worked fine that came out, but there is an amazing difference going to the Nismo.

This car was setup where toe and camber go to zero when it squats during acceleration. Yay for jacking up the front end on alignment rack.

It should be nice and cusioned against any shock during shifts with the twin disk clutch and should be able to hold the power. Im definetly getting some wider stickier tires though. haha


Twin disk would help alot. One of the contributing factors is that this car has/had a 4 puck unsprung clutch to be able to hold the power. Ran heavy shockproof gear oil.

When I did the P11 FD swap I noted that 2nd gear was showing signs of mushrooming. This was >1 year before failure.

This tran will be rebuilt and put in my new project. The ole B15 is sitting dead now with new owner. As I just took back alot of the parts for my new build.

This trans will be rebuilt for NA purposes.

FD will go back to B15... Salvage gears from QG to repair... Need to replace a couple of bearings that were damaged from debris. Then good to go.
