Understandable, I can't imagine using more than 600whp in this car, it will be a hell of a ride. Good luck with the build and keep the pictures coming

The motor is being built to handle well in excess of the power levels that Jay is going to comfortably street. The goal is being able to eventually run 1000WHP if Jay so desires. Our discussions along that line were that the limitations at this point was a tuning solution that we were comfortable with. So, for now, he will be limited by what we can safely tune with Osirus on the stock MAFs. We can upgrade the MAFs if he wants more power, however, or go with a stand alone using a MAP eventually. After break in, we are looking at between 600 and 700 WHP for the initial tune. Once Jay gets used to that, we can then go for even bigger power!

Ultimately, though, the goal isn't to just have big numbers, it's to have a fun enjoyable car that Jay feels comfortable driving.

Can't wait to see this thing come to life.

jay666 · 03-26-2012, 09:34 PM

wow good luck. Hoping you get over 600whp!

Thanx!

Hoping you make more for our engine bay! Notice the aluminum tanks in my engine bay shot are what I purchased from you. They are stellar. Hoping you keep doing more!

Thanx man. Will do. We're waiting on some parts to arrive before we can proceed much further at this point.

Officially one of my favorite builds on the forum. I would suggest an APR wing if you are going for functional aero, but the car looks really clean

ZInferno0248 · 03-28-2012, 12:19 AM

Congratulations on an exciting build. Project X did my SC kit and they are very knowledgable and do outstanding work. Your car is incredibly unique and inspiring. I love projects that take it this far.

What suspension mods did you do? The stance looks great.

Ings+1 dry carbon wing (first one in US confirmed) arriving on boat from Japan any day now. Ordered this months ago. Super stoked.

Yes, I agree 110%. PX are THE Nissan guys in the Chicagoland area IMO. Beyond that, they can do just about anything, but when it comes to Nissan/Infiniti, these are the guys.

Stance GR+ coilovers, SPC front & rear camber arms (-3 camber all the way around), SPC front A arms & rear toe bolts, and of course sway bars (Stillen).
