Im not the best driver on the track, traction is a problem, I trap between 110-111 in the 1/4, best time so far is 13.015, my 60ft times are terrible, 2.1-2.2. Its a 12 sec car just got to learn how to drive it there. I have only been down the track about 6 times. Hope i did not intrude. Here is the link.

vid doesnt work
Reaper,
Welcome to the club.
Just a heads up about a few issues to watch out for.
1/ Make sure you do not slam the bonnet shut as the bonnet is very close to the bracing of the bonnet. (I had to grind a little from the bracket)
2/ The large grub screw in the oil reservoir that plugs the location where the temp gauge goes has a tendency to leak. Needs to be plugged properly as the factory fitted item is not adequate.
3/ Make sure the water hose that runs between the belts does not touch the belt.
Otherwise all is cool. Add a set of cams like Ninja350Z did and get around 375 HP with the same pulley

Thx Mr Rizk !
1) Ya, I noticed it is hitting the hood will need to remedy
2) Yes, mine leaked at the plug and had to seal with RTF and now it is leaking
at the step about 2" below the fill cap. Working with Willie @ HKS to get a replacement
3) You mean coolant hose, if so yes lots of clearance.

I really want the HKS. Some questions:
Is HKS ok with warranty when purchased from Performance Nissan?
Is there a problem if I have hi flow cats and headers with using the HKS, ie, does it need a different tune or will it work fine? What does HKS say?
Thank you for your help.

I think it will void your warranty, just depends on how tuner friendly the dealer is that you go to. HKS told me that as long as you just change the exhaust from the cats back there is no problem but you cannot put high flow cats on because it will mess up the tuning. HKS something about it reads EGT or something so the cats have to stay on and no high flow cats. No headers. There is no tuning to it when your shop installs the HKS thats it. If you have any other questions just ask. Mine is great I would not trade it for anything. A/F ratio is a little rich but its very very safe. Thats why i went with the HKS safety, reliability, no tapping into the oil pan, S/C stays cool due to the oil cooler and the intercooler its a very nice and complete setup. Like i said let me know i have talked with HKS more than a few times. So i might be able to answer any question you have. Also they told me they are working on a 9lb pulley upgrade.

forgot
The shop that did mine is Autolabz in birmingham, got the HKS Kit from them for 5600, and the install including tuning and one step colder plugs..not iridium or platinum just regular one step colder plugs, was about 1000, they did a great job really careful with my car. Great shop to go to.
I meant is the warranty OK with HKS, or do you have to purchase from a HKS authorized dealer? Thank you NINJA-Z. Sorry for the thread hijack, it is so hard to get any real information on the HKS.
check to see if performance nissan is on the HKS authorized dealer list on the HKS website. they probably are, but i know from experience they will not honor warrantee issues if you dont buy your kit from an authorized dealer.
