I'm curious about this mod as well. What's the ratio in the new diff housing?

FYI... I've still got that AutoKitsX CF rear diffuser sitting in my warehouse at work if your still interested in it. It's still mounted to my original rear bumper, but I may try to pull it off this weekend. I'm at least planning to go through all my parts over the holiday weekend and post them up in the classifieds, as I have WAY too many extra parts laying around that I need to get rid of.

Also just recently attended the IFO Show in Las Vegas with a few guys from my crew. We had 7 cars make the drive and we ended up taking home 7 trophies, including Best Infiniti, Best of Show and Best Club! And I took home the trophy for Best Luxury, so it was a great weekend for all of us.

Thanks man. Much appreciated! We have a good crew and almost always display with club banners, barriers, etc... and we typically have way more cars (I think we had 18 show up for Spocom in Anaheim earlier this year - Including a member with his new Mclaren), but this show was in Vegas, so it meant 4 hours of driving and at least one night in a hotel.

Very cool. That's the same final drive my car has, 3.692 (since it is a 2008 with the 5AT), but it should make a noticeable difference if you have the 7AT tranny. I've actually been looking for a used rear diff out of a 6MT G37 convertible with the 3.916 final drive ratio for quite a while now, but with no luck.
I'm actually on my 3rd tranny since I had my GTM SC installed several years ago. Even with the valve body upgrade the factory clutch packs just can't handle all that extra power, especially in the higher gears. I think Lt8Che has finally talked me into doing it right and I'm finally going to bite the bullet and have Level 10 build up my next tranny for me, as this seems to be the only weak point left in my car right now.
Thanks for all the encouraging words. "I'll have mine done one day"... I know exactly what you mean! Modding is a process... it typically takes a slow progression and it doesn't happen overnight (unless your building a SEMA car). My car has been through several different phases and every time I say she is almost done I find something else to do... Right now I'm looking at replacing my front seats, redoing the entire interior, and possibly doing some headlight mods... plus the built tranny. Then she'll be done! Yeah, right?!?! LOL

LMFAO!!! No motorboats for me with the wife around. ;-)
But funny you mention that pic, because I was mad that they had to put their jackets on right before my pic was taken. They started the day without the jackets and were REALLY busting out, but it started to get cold right as the sun started to go down and I got stuck with a picture with two busty babes wearing jackets. LOL
How did I know someone would mention that stretched limo... Now everyone knows what my night job is.

Hahaha. Awfully selfish of you there, Tony!
Seriously, though, I think it's the other way around now. Now you've got me playing catch-up, especially in the HP department!
In fact, you're really making want to get her back to the track to see if I can break into the 11's too, so I really need to get my tranny to Level 10 soon!
