hey I'm not scaring anybody but I would look to get those parts to be really safe. those parts are all brand new and he can save on some if he want to get some used part. Also self install is an option and will save him at least $1K he can also cut on the gauges and just get at least 2 and not worry about the clutch. You can't compare SS to Utec and Utec has lots more bells and whistle but SS will do the job. Like I said if it was me then I'll go this route and that is the reason I know the exact price Then MRC gave me an offer I cant refuse so I went Turbo .

 

athenG u haven't been out to the meets in a while

 

hey, It is hard to get away from the Wife I do look around the NE and check the meet but nothing really fit my schedule. One day I'll just show up coz I want to see your setup

 

setup? u mean the fake intercooler like you have?
give me a call last time i talked to you was when you just got the kit on

 

yeah id definitely go for a basic setup.. i dont plan on putting too much strain on it.. jus need it to last a while until i build more funds to get the rest.. i wouldnt doubt id spend 5-10k more, just not all at once..

as of now, im just trying to get my NA mods, then save for a few months, get a basic FI setup, pay that off over a few months.. save some more, buy things lil by lil til i get it all straight

oh, and i just rode in a g35 TT, dyno'd 493hp, 495 torque... and holy ****... my first tt ive been in and it was ****in amazing!!

 

My advice if you are really set to go with FI is just forget the NA part for now and save right away for a basic SC Kit and run that stock. NA (HFC, Exhaust, Intake, Spacer) with install will run you at least $2K. Might as well save a few more and buy the SC (new or used) and be happy with it and then upgrade as you go along. With the very basic setup you will run 300+whp easy and really be safe and you can actually feel the power, not like a $2k worth of NA mod that you can barely notice a difference. JMHO

For over a year my only mod was the MREV+ coz that is the only mod that does give good gain and I saved the rest of my money for a standard kit. People belittle me coz I have pretty much a stock car but what most don't know is that I know better not to spend on NA stuff if I'm dead set on FI. Go think hard first before you start spending money and really plan every step, good luck.

 

i actually thought about that.. but thing is, ive actually only had my car for about 2 weeks... and its my first manual, so im in the learning stage... the reason i got such a list of NA mods is to do small performance upgrades, but not put too much strain on my car before i really get down how to drive it "well"
heh im still stalling at lights or comming out of reverse not often, maybe a once every few days, but still need a lot of work

 

/\ I've been driving stick since forever and the g35 clutch is the hardest to master. I have friends that can really drive and every time they drive my car they all look like an armature. Upgrade the clutch/FW and that will solve the problem or get that new kit that I have been hearing around (D-Wolf Clutch Kit) that supposedly improve the clutch play for $40.

 

^^that's odd, as I find the G35 clutch the easiest one i've had to learn. I drove a 1988 Porsche 944, 98 Civic, and a 2000 Celica GT, and those clutches SUCK...

 

What Honda clutch are much better than Nissan. Oh, I'm not sure if you have an 07 or Nissan have upgraded the clutch on 07 but 03-05 are just hard to be consistent 100% of the time. Maybe it's just my car or worst me ..... Nah, I blame the the car

 

Iono, maybe it was driver error in the Honda...the Celica clutch wasn't too bad, but not as easy to learn as my G35 clutch (05). I add my first car's clutch was hard (the 944), but then again, that was my first manual transmission, as well as first car....so that was probably 99% driver error

 

where you gonna get a UTEC for 750.. please let me know.
