I agree, the cost seems like a good deal and hard to pass up, but what reputation does this shop have for building VQ motors (or any motors)? Do you plan to take this car around a track a bunch or drag racing?

I agree with you dreamer. The shop is the most recognize here in Puerto Rico for building motors for the GT-R and everything nissan including the VQ motors and they build and tune european cars as well. Plus in my opinion they have the best uprev tuner in the island. I may drag race ones or twice but i am not that crazy of a fan, i just tend to beat on the car at every oportunity i can get as it is that is why i have been contemplating on building the motor now cause i have a feeling i will pop it at some point.

OP. If you decide on the built motor. Go with ARP fasteners too, and a clutch set-up to handle the power.

Thanks for the suggestion

Already running with the specialty Z max street clutch and limited slip differential and whiteline bushings. I will probably take The Dreamer suggestion but thanks a lot to all of you guys for your guys. Still accepting opinions

Walk in with some nice bearings, studs, and have them use those instead.

Hell yeah! Id take a built bottom end for $4k. Especially since they are charging that much for the install. If you want to do it in the future it will cost twice that at least.
