Building boost off the line is incredible, plus the wow factor of course. Anti-lag/two step launch control is a must. Ive only heard of one or two companies that have it, AEM and Gizmo, but I've only seen it done once on our car. It doesn't seem to build much boost though...

When I was researching into tuning options for the Z and i came across Nistune I saw that they had a two step rev limiter. But the best I have ever seen is a Bee-R. It's a Jap brand that alot of the Silvia drifters use. You can adjust your launch limit and you rev limiter over all on the fly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOAoErUNfIw

Don focus on all the back firebut i jus got this video to show u the product.

Any reason most people don't have it? Some things I think about are the "Odd Mods" that nobody does to their Z but are done commonly on other cars that are beneficial. Like launch control.. Also electronic cutouts.. which I mentioned in an earlier thread..

The only reason i could really come up with is Z32's arnt big time drift cars so people dont look into getting them. I think you will see them in alot of 240's and other big time drift cars. You should maybe try to start a trend

I actually run the Gizzmo set up on my car. Very simple to use and set up. Works awesome. It's a blast to have the car backfiring like no other, hahaha.

I got it for 250 at the Apexi Garage sale, but you're looking at close to 425 retail status.
