AWESOME! not s single problem other than the clutch slave cylinder being lame like it has been on every nissan I have every driven.

I got lots of compliments on the swap and it ran like a top. Now I just need to figure out how to keep the rear end planted.

Will do it again!

Not really. It didn't really push at all. I had to fight the rear end all day though.

The biggest thing that I noticed is that every time i got on the brakes hard the rear would want to come around on me. I was hoping to increase the dampening on my front coils after the first few runs, but when I tried the adjusters were stuck.

I was pretty happy overall though. My first time was a 61.09 and my last was a 56.34. The fastest raw time of the day was a 49.xx.
