That and yeah I rarely see many dyno's plotted that low. You can see us throttling in on the plot. I still ned to tweak the 2000-2,800 RPM a bit and see if I can pick a tad bit up but since the car is going to get a 100% full re-tune in the coming days it was hard to justify spending more of my own money haha. Considering I may be able to re-use some of my testing off this I was willing to fork some money out, and I am glad I did!

I have been pestering for someone who will STAY stock for long enough for me to do this exact plot... But everyone keeps modifying their car. I offered to do the E85 tuning for free if they pay dyno time too!

I have been dying to see how much I can crank out of a 100% stock engine and would be investing 10-20hrs of tuning time alone just to see what I can get out of a stock car. (OEM filter and possibly removing snorkel during testing could be acceptable)

My Mtec springs arrived yesterday & I figure it's time to get some stuff installed that I've just had sitting around for a while.

Thing is, I'm going to need some help.

So, would anyone be willing to help me install these on Saturday?

I don't have jack stands, so I'd need help there & in jacking up the transmission some for the mount bushing.

Items to get installed:

*rear shifter bushing
*transmission mount bushing
*Mtec transmission springs

Awesome, maybe I can pick up a little more low end power on the 91 tune! I would love to see what I can get out of E85 on a stock car!

Curious what tires you're runnning, if you have lowered, and how it fits
255/35/18's are going to be the ideal fitment without trimming bumper tabs for 18x9.5 +38 /+40. The 245/40/18 IMO looks best but there is going to be some rear bumper tab trimming needed. Although some tire manufactures tend to run a little different even in the same size. Another thing to take into consideration is what type of suspension and what ride height exactly you are trying to achieve.

Considering what I have put into the car so far... ugh. Maybe I should save up and try to buy an R34 and store it for when they hit the "classic" import year. only 11 more years for that car. lol

In order for it to be an "ACTUAL" Z-Tuned GT-R you are correct. They may have just tuned the engine accordingly but then again who knows...
