Anyways here are the pics just for the **** of it...........

FQ400 is not available in north america.

I know europe for sure but dont know about where else.

i hate people like that...
Yea, that was what i thought. His badge looked legit though but i knew it can't be. i'm sure i'll see him at some meet, im gonna ask about him tonight at the meet.

thx man, i'm gonna wait on that for now though....i don't want to lose to modded Evo X's lol ... gonna get some Berk HFC (giving VHR's 15-18whp) then pairing it with the Stillen G3 intakes (giving @15whp) so that there should take me to 300whp's

if he foesnt have an authentic fq theres no justification. It's the same thing as seeing idiots with stickers all over their car and none of the parts... when I PCS'd to Fort Hood I met some locals. one of these guys had a base Z with open diff and a license plate that said made to drift. had to have 30 stickers on his car. then theres the dozen people you meet everytime there is a car meet with front wheel drive cars who get in accidents drifting... just getting sick of the fake ****. who are they trying to impress beside themselves?

the stock intakes on the VQ are literally the best design....drop in's are good. Now on the VHR (370z) intakes really do give you some gains worth for the money.

Hey fellas,

Can't wait for the BBQ and Photoshoot.

Just to give you guys an update on Project Powerlab. Here are some pics.

Changed out Radiator. No need for this but it was thrown in with the bundle. There is a big difference in capacity as you can see.


Test fitting IC Piping and relocating PS cooler and PS reservoir.


Handy helper there: thanks Alex for tackling the fuel pump


Testing piping again:

Donor Car Again:
