I'd go with the is. First because I have never had an issue with a Toyota and second because I'll never buy another Nissan.

My reasoning for not buying another Nissan is due to Nissan's policy not to fix the issue, replace the motor with the same problem and give it a warranty it will outlive.

I asked them to fix it at 18 months/18k, they said FU. (12 month/12k warranty) I will not buy a car from a company that so blatantly screws it's customers.

UpRev tuned! Didn't reach 300rwhp -_- but close enough on a dyno that reads about 10% lower than some of the other shops in DFW. Topped out at 285rwhp and 260rwtq on my 2007 VQ35HR 350z. Unfortunately the graph I got doesn't really show the specifics.



Fixed lean spots down low. Gained quite a bit of hp/tq around 2500-3500 rpm.

Washed the Z and get her nice and clean today. Then she sat in the garage all day, protected from the sun. I was itching to drive, but I had other things going on.
