Keep it. Sell the PE kit. even with larger piping, the PE kit struggled to break 500 with race gas. The manifolds also crack.

^ What's cool or impressive about it? ...certainly not the music or the driving.

The OP asked for advice; not shop marketing hype.

Well....IMO... the video is well made and shows anyone who has never seen a TT 370 what it sounds and looks like modded.....no one is telling the OP where to buy....I am sure he can look through the video logo which I don't have the ability to remove.

I am sure the OP has seen Alberto's videos which shows the ins and outs of the 350Z...so no need for me to repost......unlike my crappy video......I wish I could make one like that...

I have already given the OP my opinion on what I think he should do in an earlier post.

Whatever Mike... I know a shameless plug when I see one.

...and LOL @ the comparison with Alberto's videos. ^ That video is nothing like his. Alberto actually drives his car hard and goes fast in his vids, instead of trying to show off his blow-off valve to impress NOOBS.

My G35 is also an 03, my org plan for the car was to be a DD while i was dumpin $ into my project M3.. Long and behold that went south and ended up sellin the bimmer later on.. I took a job overseas and still here till this day.. the opportunities are there bro.. I ended up keepin the g35.. built it, greddy TT it, now upgradin it for more power.. skies the limits with what you can do with a built VQ35.. If I were u .. I would find a fam member or a shop you trust to hold on to it.

Lucky for me my shop tuner let me keep the car with him.. or I just left it in the garage at my house.. but im sure by the time you get back home.. you should be caked up and be able to get that 350Z right and have change left ova to cop another whip.

I assure you plugging was not my intention.......and I think you misunderstood my point about Alberto's videos....I was not comparing the two....but mainly stating that one was a video of a 370z and the other was of a 350z....that's it!!

Yes Alberto drives his car hard....but thats his car...he can do that....A shop does not have the right to beat on a customers car in that manner unless a Written Multi Year Warranty accompanies the car when its picked up.

Post a video of a 370z TT thats better and I will remove my post.....

Not sure.....but that was what caught my attention....never seen one like that before with the exception of a heads-up devise....but even that one was not as clear as the one in the video.

Also I was listening to the Racelogic the way it kicked in..

ya the minicam program overlays GPS data ontop of the cam, but not CANbus and sensors.

Was that the jumpiness in the RPMs? I was wondering what that was. Very strange.

Yeah... That's correct... Also if you listen to the car in the first part of the video when he turns the corner (outside shot) you hear the misfiring ... That's the RaceLogic....Something for the OP to consider installing
