It's official, I love them. I had to do some higher gear pulls to figure out when they start spooling, but I figured out it's at about 2,400 rpms (keep in mind, I also have the GD Downpipes, so that's probably a contributing factor). Had to do a 4th gear pull for that (~45 mph when they started spooling in 4th) because 1st through 3rd just go by so quickly that I couldn't catch it =P. There's still a few small kinks I have to work out, and I have to re-wire the boost controller I think (it should come on when I turn the car on, but it doesn't, so I'll check that out tomorrow). The engine also revs so easily with the lightweight flywheel as well. And the JWT Street Clutch isn't that bad at all, takes a little getting used to at first when compared to stock, but it's definately drivable.
Back to the GT2530's though. The streets are dry, reguardless of the snow everywhere else, but they're cold, so the information is somewhat accurate.
1st gear - spins tires in mid to high rpm range
2nd gear - spins tires in mid to high rpm range
3rd gear - spins tires in high rpm range
4th gear pulls hard, but I couldn't take it too high up, I was, after all, on the streets. I just hope that when summer comes and the streets are warm, that the tires will be able to stick better. And for the record, I am aware of the 500 break in miles for the clutch, and therefore wasn't powershifting or launching or anything, I'd get all the clutch entirely engaged before boosting.
Every gear feels like the previous gear used to at Stage III (3rd gear feels like 2nd gear used to, 2nd feels like 1st, and I can't even explain 1st now). They just pull that hard. I know a lot of people think the Z should've came with Skyline turbos, but I think that these people just need to drive a GT2530 turboed Z. Lag is minimal (as I said, they spool around 2400, but it could also be because of the lightweight flywheel that it just accelerates better to the spooling point), and they're very streetable if you're not all over the gas pedal. So in conclusion, after my first 100 miles on everything, I have little or no regrets about spending $11k on what I did =D
