I did. Yesterday. When the thread was created. Just one day ago. There are 4 pages of replies. The most recent reply was 7 minutes ago. Exactly why do we need a second thread created just to link to the first thread?

Because the car is in Hawaii, so the people in the Pacific forum (mostly people in Hawaii) can see it.

Why did you create a post about my post?

Because I'm bored. And I was disappointed to see the same car I just saw yesterday when I clicked the link. No other reason, really.

when ppl click New Posts at the top, they see all the threads, not just hawaii threads.

btw, why do ppl make new threads about other threads?
I always ask in every thread like this so dont mind me.

You know, in all honesty I kinda avoid direct interaction with threads like this, and instead sit back, and find amusement in ridiculous drama of it all.

But being that it's a Hawaii boy, and I hate to see you get slammed on this forum and leave, I'd rather find ways to assist you in your stay here, and ensure your experience on the forums get better, here's a couple of suggestions:

#1. If you start a thread asking what people think of your car, expect positive AND negative. Some people may be polite when they don't find your car appealing, and may even offer some constructive critisizm. Others, may be pretty harsh, and immature about how they express they're ability to relate to it. If you've read ANY of the threads here, you'll know the latter is more common then anything else. Take it with a grain of sand, be polite, and move on from the experience. They've given you what you asked for, (answered your question in their own way) and to rebuke them for answering the question you publicly put forth looks bad. Hence, the flaming. However, if you take everything with a grain of sand, it wont matter how many like your car or not, more people on the forums will respect you. That seems to be what this thread is boiling down to. Respect, or a lack thereof, on both sides. Constructive arguments on both sides seem to generally work as well.

#2: If you're not willing to discuss on the thread what your business is, who you are, etc etc, then it is also impolite to place someone's full name on there as well. Everyone knows me, pretty much. Hell most people that know me, I don't even know. But it feels rather invasive that you were cautious about your I.D. online, yet willing to place mine there. Not the most friendly of gestures.

#3: Never discuss your income online. Dude, it's a small island man. It's not about your cars, your businesses, but how much you're worth. And with it all on a public forum, any old joe can pass that info to anyone willing to perp into your life, for a cut of the profit. Kidnappings and ransoms aren't uncommon in Hawaii - you just don't hear about it as much. And it don't matter what type of security you have to those who have experience with said devices and services. That being said, putting this info up can definitely create more questions, some of them highly invasive and insensitive. You've built a large degree of curiosity, and that curiosity is a hole this whole thread is in. Reffering to #2, why would I ask where you work? Because you've publicly placed info on this forum building enough curiosity for me to ask. But being that you asked me to keep it between us, and PM'ed me, I did. And I will.

Please don't take this as slamming you - if anything I hope you stay. It's always good to have more people, especially local boys, to provide input and build the community - even if it's online. But I hope this helps to augment your future experience here in a positive way.

Decent setup its just not realy my style.

By the way man with all the work, turbo's, and NO2 on your car you should be putting WAY more to the ground. Hell even a 15hp shot of NO2 on a turbo those size will get you damn near 30hp due to the extra cooling involved with the air charge plus the extra energy from all the O2 in the NO2.

What exhaust you running man? Just currious because if those are your numbers there may be a bottle neck some where. Mine was my damn air ducts and SES. There was almost a 50WHP diffrence with out that restrictive exhaust and ducts.

I saw your reply about the cryo FMIC cooler. You should still see decent gains with that. One thing I did miss however is that it is a 3.8L. Now Im even more confused now. You have a 3.8L which on average puts down about 8-10% more power due to the displacement. Combine that with the 20g's that flow over 10% more air you have sooo much power potential there.

With these to facts in mind you are WAY under powered man. I may come offf a little nitpicky but as much as you have in the car and engine I would think you would want the most out of your setup. Hell man with my 18G's and 3.5L Im putting down a little more than you at the moment with 18psi. now once every thing is re situated with my exhaust and intake that number may be higher.

Im just curious to see where all that power is being pinned up.

i think in one of his posts he said it wasnt a 3.8, that he was replying to a post about a 3.8 with the same widebody kit or something.

Hmmmm... I guess Im just missing it but I didnt see the responce to the engine size. I was presuming it was a 3.8 because the name of the thread. Reguardless thats still 8-10% more power with the 20G's

I saw some thing I didnt see before, the sonics sticker. When did you have your engine built by Sonics. Just currious because I have been doing business with them almost 3 years now. Havnt realy heard any thing about another VQ being built by sonics except for Mikes in his G. Just currious because I've been in and out of that shop alot, hell my car had a total of close to 15 months in their stalls and lot.

Who did the install and tune/dyno?

Im just currious because I havnt heard any thing of the car until now.

Since no one else has the nerve to say it, I'll step up:

I'm sorry, but I'm absolutely positive that you're lying in a few areas.


Your car does NOT have a built engine or 20g turbos. You have a standard Greddy turbo kit. How can you expect people to believe that you make 500+ at the wheels with the stock fuel return system? Furthermore, I have inquired about building a VQ35 at Sonic Motorsports, and I was only shown results for the two engines that they have built, neither of which was in your car.

The pictures of your car were taken in front of your house. Through the front window of that same house, there is a silver 350z hatch for all the world to see. Don't worry, I won't reveal your address publicly. I am not out to cause harm to you, just to expose you for the fraud that you are.

I can't speak to the rest of your claims, but you have already proven that you are less than credible. Hell, what tire size are you planning to run on your 20"x13" wheels?

The ignorance behind your web of lies astounds me. I cannot believe that you honestly thought you would be able to perpetrate these lies.

You've made an **** of yourself on a grand scale. Congrats.
