4.1 FGR really transforms the car! I love mine

I do see an NC in my future (with a 2.5 swap and all the fruit).

I did my change this week and whilst straight forward, I know I could do a second one much quicker.

Did you get yours from Lou (Boyracer)?

Yes, I got the one from Lou.

That’s where mines from. I was a bit slow off the mark first time :mrgreen:

Alignment done. The steering has a fair amount more feedback and more feel/weight to the straight ahead position and turns into corners quicker and with more feel.
I suspect this will massively help reduce the understeer and just be quicker/more fun all round.

Needs more camber

See how we go. It’s a learning curve for me but from my research so far the NC doesn’t appear to respond that well to lots of camber like the na/nb. BUT a lot of anecdotal info I’ve read has come from US Autocross which looks totally different to circuit work.

The good news is that the 4.1 was a total success. It really changes up the gears to use so there was a bot of learning to do but definitely punchier out of corners and worker really well.

That’s great to hear. Pick mine up on Monday and need to get it fitted before the Morgan Park event on sat.
Did you replace any bushes/seals at the same time?

I replaced the bushes in the hanging bracket for the diff with Nulon bushes but it was a major job. Short term if doing it again I would stick with the stock bushing.
Just make sure you
1) remove the exhaust
2) remove the ppf ( and support the gearbox)
With those out of the way the job is much easier
