Intrude hell. What a great vid. My only complaint is that the music covered up all the wonderful sounds that your car made!!!

Thanks very much for sharing!!!!

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.

No problem, love the video Ninja-Z. Paid $5850 for the kit from Performance Nissan. This kit has 0 bugs in my opinion

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

Michael

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 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.

Are you sure? HKS's website still say it is "pending CARB exemption". All vendors also state it is "pending CARB exemption". I guess I will need to talk to HKS to confirm.

The list of dealers on the website is very limited, Performance is not listed. Maybe it is a second tier distributor.

Good for California. How does that affect the rest of us? Does it do any good or bad? I run 93 octane here and I hope it isn't detuned for California gas.

Any thoughts on the HKS vs. Vortech? I'm in the market for FI and teeter-totting between the two.

So far been leaning toward the Vortech.

Thanks,
VampireG

For me it is Stillen vs. HKS, leaning toward HKS because I don't like the Stillen hood.
Ninja-Z, what gauges did you add for the install of the HKS?
