This happened to me one time. I have a 6MT & usually drive with the first level traction control off. But that still won't let the car get crazy. So I did a high rpm clutch dump to get loose & when it started correcting, it felt like an abrupt hit the other direction as it cut power. I then got...

Dexron 3 is an ATF fluid. In fact most of the ZL1, corvette, etc guys use their favorite kind of synthetic ATF (redline D4, valvoline atf, etc) ... i mean it works so there is nothing wrong with it, i just plan on using the Tremec HP-MTF. Im going to try 0w40 because I know tapout uses that on...

Definitely a possibility, but coming from an X nissan service technician of 10 years, seeing GTRs, 370s & even non performance cars get warrantied, the service tech is not trained in telling what type of fluid is in these things. If it smells like diff fluid & doesn't show signs that it has...

Congrats & welcome to the dark side! I can give you my 2 cents on what I've done, but everybody has their own opinion on this subject. I did an engine oil change at 500, 2500 & 5k. I did my diff fluid at 2k & I have yet to do my trans. Im almost at 7k & looking at what fluid I want to put in my...

My SM experience on 3/13 & 3/14 was amazing! I learned alot and gained even more respect for the alpha chassis. The instructors are great & very skilled in what they do! I was in car #44 (6 speed 4BW). We did the east bowl & on the second day they put me in the fastest group which were all 5BW...

Don't get me wrong, for just having downpipes & being tapout tuned, I'm happy with the improvements over stock. A night & day difference making an extra 100 whp. It's just not & will never be a very supported platform like the BMW G8x or even LT/LS. Global B just adds another obstacle on top of...

Yea exactly. I don't think they are different designs. They wont sell any Global B flex fuel kit right now. The problem is that there is a limited number of "DSX authorized" sellers/installers & an even smaller number of those shops will touch an LF4. So I'm only assuming that it will be easier...

Im already tuned on HP tuners... there's no point in getting the DSX flex fuel sensor if you're not tuned on HP tuners.

So I'm in a tough situation. After installing my upgraded hpfp & fuel cam, I'm unable to get a flex fuel sensor for global B because of DSX tuning understandable fear of getting copied. So my work & money spent on parts is wasted until they decide to sell to the general public. After talking to...

Threw in upgraded hpfp & tapout fuel cam today 😁🫡 ... going e60 as soon as i use the last of what's in my tank!!

As expected, DI shows its weakness. This is at 6500 miles (LF4). Time to fab up an oil catch can because I can't find any plug & plays for us just yet.... On a side note, anyone have a link, or can point me in the direction to a walnut blast/vaccum intake manifold attachment for the LF4?? I'll...

Coming from a 6th gen 1LE, the LF4 is very appropriate for the 4BW. Do I miss the rumble & immediate NA torque of the LT1... hell yea! Especially rolling around in a cadillac V that nobody has ever even heard of & thinks has a V8. But that all goes out the window when im in full boost with my DP...

Sounds like it gets faster as the rpms rise, so it can be the hpfp. It is on the driver side against the cowl, but I have a 6mt as well & have never heard that noise. Maybe have a friend rev the engine up slowly as you are outside with the hood popped & take a listen.

Yikes! As a former service technician of almost a decade, I won't let the dealer touch my car unless I need warranty work. I went in for my 1st free oil changed & got the manager to sign off on giving me the oil & filter so I can do it myself. You would think they give these cars to a more...
