I have an 04 6mt G35 and can't bring myself to trade it in for a G37...I'd love to FI my car but I have 110k miles on it.

The Motec M600 already offers the CVTC adjustment and drive-by-wire, so I am holding out hope that control of the DC Motor as a function of load/rpm in the tuning map will not be too big an obstacle. For us NA guys, this VVeL is very exciting to see. I am hesitant to guess at higher rpm use with the configuration's weight, but it is still exciting. I think GTM being a Motec tuner is a great step, and opens up more potential for what they will be able to extract from this system.

More than likely we will be using the M800 with a few added options. I am not sure on the VVeL control with the MoTeC but If anything can control it, it would be a MoTeC system.
We have a lot of products for the HR (Cams are already available) and coming soon for the VVeL engine.
I will try to keep everything updated with pictures and videos to share with the community as much as possible.
Thanks for your comments everyone, We really appreciate your support because with out our valued customers we could not make this possible.

That doesn't surprise me. When the first G37 threads started over there after it was unveiled, some wanna-be's who weren't current G35 coupe owners tried to stifle any negative opinions about the G37. Then the moderator for that forum section (Garnet Canuck
) was grossly biased and inserted his 
+ change against the nay sayers. Apparently my opinions personally offended him and he made some moronic comments towards me.
I haven't really spent any time over on G35driver since. There's a lot of smug and bad info over there, IMHO. My350Z is the superior site for G35 owners who are performance enthusiasts.Anyway... I can't believe how quickly GTM is able to do R&D, let alone a monster build on a G37 before any substantial inventory has even arrived at most Infiniti dealership lots!!!
You guys never cease to amaze me, LOL! I'm very interested to see the results of this build Sam & George!!!
While I'm having trouble getting past the exterior styling, there is no denying the superior performance and power potential of the G37 powertrain. Now I better understand Sam's response to my last PM inquiring about doing a custom GTM turbo setup for the DE motor. It looks like you have your hands full before SEMA. 
BTW, have you guys looked into the possibility of a powertrain swap into a G35 or Z? I would love to have that new engine. Can it physically be done?

You could use an M600 to control a VQ, but the M800's additional connections can be useful for, among other things, running high-low injectors.

Bottom line, prefer the M800 to the M880, and get the ACL if you need that much data logging capability.

M800 is a definite advantage over the M600 since it comes with the advanced functions option, which if purchased with the M600 would pout it withing $200 of the M800, hence the latter is the way to go.

The m600 also is only compatible with 4 and 6 cyclinders. The 800 is good for 4,6 and 8 cyclinder vehicles.
