AHR CERAMIC WHEEL BEARINGS
AHR CERAMIC PULLEY BEARINGS

93 PUMP GAS w/1 gallon 100 oct

They said they believe the car has more in her.

Slip

Actually using LC with these mods would be very dangerous for the transmission, since even using LC on a stock GT-R can break the tranny.

Um.... yes they have. I've seen them with my own two eyes.

133mph = ~175-200hp more than stock. A voided warranty for sure regardless of LC not being used.

I bet the transmission still breaks soon enough.
