I guess I'm used to your standard Japanese car (skyline) lol I didn't really notice it too much until a mate of mine who's a mechanics picked up on it. He drives an 8 sec GTR so maybe his not as familiar with the fg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, dont snap the throttle on and off like our much loved skylines and your rear end will live a little longer. Gotta remember these things make a sh*t load of torque down low, not like your little rb25det. My two cents. Hope what I said makes sense. Here's a video so you can see what I mean. A lot of movement back there. Edited 07/01/19 03:58 AM by I love kittens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the video, definitely paints a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
