Spend more time with the car, learn to work around the issue you're having. Why waste money on it?

What happened?? Revs fell in the time it took to clutch.... identical ratio. :fawk:

you waste soo much time in a shift if you're waiting for the revs to fall so that they'll match.

this little argument of yours further enforces my statement that you need to learn to shift better.

Honestly... there's different ways to skin a cat, you pick yours. I'll stick to blaming the cat.

If you could deal with the high revs, I'd get a JDM ITR tranny. If not, an ITR swap would be worth it, for the LSD.

The car has SOOO much potential. Why waste your time with a gear when you can throw on a CAI and make up for the split second of (supposable) engine lag between shifts ..

.. Cause I know with my 7k mile GSR, I dont run into issue's shifting @ 8k and noticing a lag to second.

its just not that much of a problem to worry about that would require money to switch out when you can be doing so much more with so much less $$$ fronted.

I wasnt showing sign of weakness I just didnt want to be an ass .. but since you opened the door.
I think your a DUMBASS for worrying about such a minute problem. How F*cking Anal retentive does one have to be. OMG my second gear ratio is a tad longer then it should be. Im going to go out of my way to buy a ITR tranny. Why dont you just buy an ITR in the first place and skip the hassel? The GSR was made the way it was for a reason.. and when I was talking about the CAI and its infulence on the car I wasnt talking about it shorting up the gear ratio .. I was stating that 7more HP to the wheels might be enough where the drop wouldnt be as noticable...
So at that I leave you to dicking around with you GSR to make it something its not. Ill be content with what I bought and know that theres more to life then my ride ...
Peace
