Got to tune the car after all those goddies to A) Make it run safely and B) Get the most out of all the money your spending. I also plan on getting a Oil Cooler with the Thermostat, I have had my temps over 260 a few times soooo. I would also go with the Stillen Pulley. I have see real gains from Vids on that part. I also dont really like UnderDrive Pullies.

Good Choice but Tune that Sh**
I though about tuning but apparently it completely voids the warranty, is it unsafe to not tune it?

It can be unsafe if you are running lean, and if you are running HFC's, non-stock CAI, and CBE, you could be.

As for the warranty... if you get either Cobb or Uprev you can simply uninstall it before you go in and that will remove any traces of it.

If you are going to be putting all of those bolt-ons on at once you might want to consider a Tune, to make sure you A/F ratio is good and you might get some bonus Hp

Cobb
Osiris
AAM

I had no idea, is that confirmed btw? Will they really not be able to tell at all and in turn not be able to rail me when I come in with a problem under warranty? :eekdance:

You got lucky. Mine hits 240 going 65 around the DC beltway. Responsiably and safely.

*shrug* I don't see how, from what I've experienced. Even in above 100 degree temperatures and 100% humidity.

Yeah, plenty of people have said that Nissan doesn't keep track of things like say BMW does. You'll be fine.

so there isnt a way to tell if the ecu was disconnected and reconnected at all, no seals or codes that need to be cleared upon install or something?

I would also suggest the HFC give a hoot don't polute.

Have you thought about something other than the stillen G3? It would be nice to not have to remove the front to change filters.

Body kit? The Amuse Vestito kit is killer, how about the entertainment system?

Once you uninstall either product it looks the same as stock to Nissan. Not sure what you mean by the ECU being disconnected, as both of those products are software solutions and not ECU replacements. They simply replace the tune stored on the ECU.

I did consider another intake however I wasnt able to find one with better power gains. I must say i like the amuse rear bumper but its a little to much money that i would rather put towards a supercharger. I havent realy put any thought into entertainment at all, any ideas?

If you are looking to save a couple of bucks for some more upgrades. You can check out the DIY section and you can buy all the parts you will need for home built oil cooler set up. One of the members here did it and its working quite well. He listed all the parts you will need, where to buy them, and how to put it all together to make it work.

Also, RE: oil cooler -- I'll be testing out those ARC cool fins soon. If they drop temps by 10 -15* F, I'd say that will cover most folks who are seeing temps over 220 regularly unless they are tracking it.

I also have two stuck on my diff cover :tup:

Consider yourself lucky if you don't see high temps. I for one used to noticed that temps went high going uphill in traffic or even at safe and mature 65-70 mph driving.
