maybe isn't ready to race but you'll need a trailer to bring home all the asian chicks you'll pick up.

if you are at the point where 1. your car actually needs it and 2. you can afford it, you already know the people who could make, install and tune this for you.

An F430 GT2 car, which would be comparable to this, is a bit more expensive as I recall. Several teams switched from Porsche to Ferrari this year - I am sure there were multiple reasons why

Thumbs up

I recently bought the latest edition of AUTOMOBILE mag', & they lift the GT-R
to the stratosphere with praise, dudes! Among the other pocket rockets with
which they compared it were the Aston Martin, Porsche 911, etc. The lowest-
priced one was the "Skyline" ($73,OOO), versus the over $1OO,OOO+ of all the other beasts! IF God blesses me with a windfall, I'll be trading in my 'O4 Touring Coupe for one of 'em monZters!!!
P.S. The GT-R was only 2 seconds behind the 911 in the quarter-mile---FOR
LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE!!!

KingBaby: Some inheritance, the Lotto, some back pay I'm expecting from Homeland Security...There are a few possibilities, m'man! IF NOT, I'm STILL in love with my 'O4 Touring Coupe (only 17k+ on it---still has new-car scent!) It's just that the Skyline is SOOO HOT!!!

The intake manifold is made by nismo. They introduced it in the latest tokyo autosalon. Thought i would help you guys out. You can buy it, but extremely expensive!

no its not offered for sale by NISMO unless you are a 380RSC owner. IN which can, "expensive" probably isn't a word you use very often

if you want the CF air box, you need ITB's and some fiber glass to make a mold and then you make a mold out of the carbon fiber and walla.

or make the airbox out of sheet metal and then weld that together next you can make the mold out of that instead
