Best Forced Induction for Daily Driver?
I'm thinking about getting Forced Induction on my 2007 Nismo, which is better for a daily driver? And what specific turbo or supercharger is reliable enough for a daily driver?

stock is the most reliable for a DD.
best advice, do not go FI if that car is your only source of transport.
not the answer your wanted, i'm sure. but its the truth. turbos go bad, SC'ers break belts. and they can both lead to a whole host of other problems can be annoying at best and down time for weeks/months at worst. I would say that 90% of the FI guys on here spent enough time without their cars, they woulda been fired from work had that been their only means of transport.
But, if you have a another car, neither is more reliable. It all boils down to the experience/quality of the install and tune. But even then that doesnt guarantee no problems.

If you use Nitrous, remember to change your oil very often, and each time after heavy nitrous use.
When your engine runs, there is always some blow-by of fuel that gets past the rings and mixes into the oil. With normal fuels, the blow-by is pretty inert. Nitrous, however, turns the oil acidic. The acidic oil will over time cause damage to engine internals.
There were posts on this sometime back, maybe about a year ago. A little research should dig up the relevant information for anyone interested. There is other information pertaining to this subject elsewhere on the Internet as well.
