Took me 5 days(including weekend) after I payed Mossy Nissan for it, to receive it........Was part of there "Special Deal"... Payed 4370.00 2nd day air to hawaii.....Good deal considering 170 was shipping.....

Well considering that everyone in my family is in Mechanic's I have more than adequate help.....

Honestly tho it doesnt look that hard and I do expect things to go wrong but it looks mostly like piping. Dont have to splice any wires.....the things im most worried about are the Kinetix Plenum cracking... and dropping the tranny again....and as Phunk said be as meticulous as you can be and I will......I still have two weeks of planing left.....getting all the associated hardware......wrapping for all the lines....I also have to replace the clutch disks..going back to the pack that holds 690HP....

Hmm sell the 3.917.. not as of right now.....well see how that goes.....

Blow the engine huh...well it could I guess.....good thing I live 2 miles from work heh..... and also since I live so close on most days it will be hard to abuse the Z



Once again if you look inside the Turbonetics box....you will say...wow is that it......is that all you need......hey they even give you oil...LOL

He's just a uninformed noob. 23 post and joined within the past 4 days. I guess he hasn't read much to know that there countless number of members running 400whp+ on stock internals with no problems. Heck don't tell him there 2 that are at 500whp+ VQ35 on stock internals.

+1 on the heat wrap. I haven't done that to mine and it gets really hot under the hood. Others have wrapped their pipes and said it made a huge difference. Now is the time for you to do it too...

I think you said something based on a clear lack of knowledge. If you do some research before you type then maybe you might get some respect. Shooting your mouth will not get you ANY respect on this site.
