I just install my nismo shoulder pad ( in blue) in my car today and boy those shoulder pad gave my car the look and feel of having 15 more horse power. I had nissan shoulder pad before, those things were useless. Anyone else has these or other somewhat like it.

Actually I havent mentioned this until now. Selfishly keeping it to myself, sorry, but when I race I take the covers off my valve stems. Shaves about .012 lbs and really a noticeable difference in my launch. To take it to the next level, you can remove one lug nut from each wheel and only run 4 instead of 5. Shaves another 1.5 lbs.

Don't forget the center caps if you've got them.

you can also try inflating your tires with helium instead of air, you can reduce unsprung weight hence better handling/et...

Use some velcro, a lot lighter than lugs.

Jell-O

Has anyone tried this mod ? I just got my packet of Jell-O... but i am waiting untill someone posts who actually has done this ...


I don't want to hurt my maxi with a dud mod if it's not going to work.


I got my packet from wegmans... but they got some on ebay.. i just didn't want to wait.

it's the grape Jell-O brand... makes 8 servings.
hope i got the right one.. too many choices.


also... what is a "clear corner" ? I heard it's part of the handling package. It's make cornering a bit "clearer" ? I guess this would mean you can see you car better as you turn left or right.

You guys are forgetting the led nozzles. Those are stronger than the V2. If you want power do it right.
