Well at leat you'll most likely have enough/ get enough for a new body kit...lol
Sorry to hear that though I know it must suck.

I know of a body man, not a shop he works by himself but he's really good I think.
He works on Jade crew's car's especially the Greenish blue wide body NSX you see at HIN/ volks both sometimes.

Oh he's pricey to ...good for U....lol

That's why we work on the car in my garage now, or for bigger stuff, take it to Jeremy. It's hard to trust anyone to do it right anymore.

What are you looking to do for your audio system?

you sound like you may have the revup issue reguarding using synthetics, pm that dude that works for nissan. Im sure there very intrested since this is not the first time they herd of this from the revup motors. Also, i had a wierd issue the other day. driving on the highway, the tach was frozen. I mean i reved her and it wouldnt move ...upon down shifting it resolved the issue and since i never seen it. Damn revups being beta motors for the HR man. jk the guys name escapes me he works for classic nissan . Sorry that i forgot the name. Hes delt with the revup issue.

I stopped using amsoil in both my race motors due to it leaving stains on the crank, block, pan, and rods. Not sure if the oil was molecularly bonding or if there was some sort of dye in the oil bonding to the metal components when it all sat in the bottom of the pan but I wasn't risking the weight of the "stained" sections varying from the "non stained". I have used mobil 1 ever since except for some redline tranny fluid in my 350z.

Ok guys, if any of you do not like the 07 Z's because of the hood bulge. PLEASE PLEASE find it in your heart to forgive them.

I PDI'ED (pre delivery insp) one of our first 3 today. Base model, San Marino Blue(one of the new colors) manual.

Upon going out on Semoran blvd and stomping the go pedal an open pipe symphony rang out loud and clear from under the hood all the way to 7500 RPM which by the way it snapped that tach needle around faster then the non revup or revup could ever hope as stock. The new dual intake under the hood can be heard even at idle, deeper, throatier. Other then the engine they didnt change much from what I saw. No more plenum spacer though and if you thought our engine bays were tight before hell, Im going to have alot of fun when these things start to have to come in for service :P

We have 6 now on our lot, the san marino one, two silverstones, two PPW and and black I do believe, varying trims and equip on each. But if some of you are feeling froggy

thats hot, cant wait to run into one on the highway to see what the increase over the revup is about. Nice review man. 7500 rpm not fair i was getting used to my 7k from my old 6500 . Damn. lol the only thing i cant stand as u said is the stillen ugly hood man god. Maybey the power may make up for it. Now unto another dyno day so we can compare 35DE stock 35DE Rev-Up and 35HR wow. i would love to see the graphs.
