Sounds like $500 well spent Phil


Interesting to hear your reviews on the Nismo shocks, that combined w/ your Nismo modified exhaust seem like worthy upgrades for sure.
Which Centric pads did you end up with?

I guess for any full brake job you're going to spent around that for decent stuff. Buying it all in a package just made it cheaper and easier. I might even sell my lines lol


They were better upgrades than I thought. Also, I only have about 350 bucks in them. I will be getting a good set of coils within the next year. The exhaust will stay until my welds break lol My stock struts were gone so I found a cheap way to swap them with something better! We will see how they hold up. With my luck, they're leaking already

Thank you. It sure isn't stock like I said it would stay hahaha. And I'm not in a hurry to do the lines. Only reason I'm considering it is because it came with the kit. I hate messing with brake fluid. It's evil lol

been toying around with the idea of a tune I just want to confirm that for the 08 G35x the only real option is the Uprev since Ecu Tek only works on the G37?

I'm also driving the same 08 g35x and starting to look into getting tuned.

I swear I have the greatest service advisor..... Brought the 6mt in to get looked over, he already knew to check the CVC....he went ahead and replaced both he slave and master cylinders just to be safe! All covered under factory warranty

Yea uprev would be the only option. Still good software though! Someone should definitely be able to do it though

sounds good! heard good things about both thats why i asked.

now to find a good tuner around NJ/VA with an AWD dyno. already scoped out some recommendations and might stop by

My Vibra-Technics transmission mount and TWM STS came in today. I'm going to install the STS myself this weekend and I have an appointment on Monday to have the transmission mount installed.

Interesting. How did you dial into this Vibra-Technics mount, and why'd you choose it? I honestly didn't research the transmission mount enough to even know there were options. Kind of embarrassed to realize that now.

Liam, you should dump this stuff in that thread I started last week. It would be good to contrast opinions and know that there are other options.

And good for you, man! I hope you like both of these mods as much or better than I do.

Heck yea PG-v36! Post up a review when you get a chance.

You're not the only one, man haha have you don't this mod yet? I'm still on the fence. Also, what thread is this that you speak of? Haha

Please let me know how you like those Z1 slotted rotors, I'm actually considering them for my Akebonos, in a month or two when I'd like to replace my rotors, what brake pads did you go with?

It still doesn't answer what I was asking, from what I read and heard it seems like the tech package was never offered on 6MT 2010+ sedans , but I wanted to confirm it to be sure

I was dead set on purchasing the Z1 mount, but my only reservation was the possible increase in NVH. This concern was before your positive review on the mount. Had I been more patient and waited for your review, I most likely would've bought the Z1 mount.

While doing Google searches for reviews on the Z1 mount, I stumbled on a thread in the 370z forum where someone mentioned Vibra-Technics, so I did some research.

Vibra-Technics is a small company based out of the UK. They only specialize in engine and transmission mounts. Based on my limited research, they seem popular with the bmw/mini and audi/vw crowd. An interesting thing with their mounts is they only use hard rubber. Here's a detailed explanation from their site as to why that is:

"Why do you use rubber rather than urethane?
We use the best materials and technology available to get the job done!
Urethane is superior to rubber in its abrasion and chemical resistance which is why it’s used in tyres for fork lift trucks, mud flaps etc. OEMs sometimes use it for suspension bump stops because of its abrasion resistance. It is also much more economic to manufacture because it's also available as a pourable resin, so mould tooling is much cheaper. Rubber moulding requires specialist injection mould tools and high temperature high pressure moulding machines.
For engine mounting applications natural rubber or natural/synthetic blended rubber is superior to urethane in every respect. Critical characteristic are:-
# Temperature range
# Resilience (stiffness/damping ratio)
# Creep and permanent set (permanent deformation)
# Elongation
# Bond strength
One of the many critical weaknesses of urethane as an engine mounting material is the change in characteristics across a temperature range, in particular its resilience. The engine bay is subject to extreme temperature ranges. Urethane is unstable under these conditions. This is why OEMS never use urethane for a primary engine mounting system.
We are the experts. Our policy is a no compromise, ultimate engine mount solution. If urethane was the best stuff to use, we would use it!"

I decided to take a chance and bought it. It cost $234.75 + $15 for shipping. It took them a week to ship it, but they shipped it using fedex international priority so it only took one day to receive the mount from the UK. Not bad for 15 bones.

Anyways, I'll post my thoughts of the mount in your thread once it's installed.
