maybe you could try making less power or driving slower?

Man you will have the ride of your life in Godzilla [GT-R]. I got to ride in one From Star Nissan in Greensburg. It was Sick! I'd give my right arm for a GT-R, oh wait, I gave that for my EVO X!!! When I was over seas I got to go for a ride in an R-34, Rt drive. I was actually frightened a few times, its weird being a passenger on the drivers side. The R-34 seemed more powerful, but it was heavily modded { is that a word?} is now, and I'm sure The guy who took me out in his U.S. GT-R was not going to really put the car through its paces at only 600 Mi.

I finally have the X almost back together! I'm waiting on a few things yet. It sux this nice weather and X can't come out and play. Thanks for all of the help and advice everyone has offered, I appreciate it. Enjoy the holiday!

Pro trucks in Murrysville is the only place that might have some on the shelf. That's where I used to get mine. If they don't have it, they can get it for you in a day or so.

Big thanks to Eric for riding along today at BR. I'm sure he wished he didn't. Sadly the day was cut short due to the LICP blow out. Luckily I had a toolbox handy and got it back on.

Got to ride in the Lotus. Damn that thing is awesome. Great all around car, minus getting in and out. haha

If I may make a suggestion, to help avoid situations like boost pipes bowing out/ off, I have found using constant torque hose clamps beneficial. They have a wider band and have a belleville spring that adjusts the torque automatically with temp changes in the turbo system. Also they can't be over tightened, and won't cut or extrude the Silicone hoses or couplers. They are available in 100% SST inc. the bolt, are more expensive than standard T bolt or worm drive clamps, but are worth the cost in my humble opinion. They are available at Mcmatsercarr.com and usually will be delivered the next day to the PGH area. Just a suggestion, hope maybe it helps. Take care.
