those headlights are shot, fine cracks on the inside lens and the reflective inner shields are poop. Need to either get them refurbished or just find a good used set.

I never really researched them lol

I have the V2 bumper with the scoop which funnels air to the filer, but I plan on making a long radiator diversion panel to better direct the fresh air to the intake. It seems like a lot of the panels out there stop short of the air duct behind the bumper. The hood prop was in the way, but I have some struts now, so it's no longer an issue.
Nice, I do believe there is still one that extends over the duct, wouldn't that bottleneck air travel?
I rather keep PCV for now, my injen should have similar (if not better) ait temps, the filter is dead on the middle of the grille and not hidden like the admin extension. On average my intake temps are only 5-7 degrees hotter than ambient air.

How does the car drive on the highway? I had a modded G35c with the 3.9FD and the rpms were kinda high at highway speed.

I live in Japan so it’s not like you can drive a constant 65+ for any prolonged period of distance so the higher RPMs is not a major issue. I could see where the higher RPMs on US highways could be an issue for most people. But it’s a perfect and fun setup for light to light sprints and auto cross/drag strip.

people don’t build them right,
ive had good luck with all my past builds where many have failed due to bad tuning and engine set up. Going on 3 years with multiple drag sessions at 2.7 bar boost on my built 1J 2.7 stroker.

havent seen any NA motor stroker builds other than stroked FI.

I believe a member here had one and it gave away, the only other I know is Sasha but I wouldn't even consider that engine normal. If I was in Japan personally I'd go with Nismo heads and a nice built bottom end to get some extra revs. Make sure to update us here or maybe make another build thread to see how things go!
