You know . . . I think you have a good point. Great observation . . . I do believe you are correct. You can see some green beyond the passenger side window, which might be the grass.

just noticed, but the g in the ad seems to have its windows down, causing the green in the background to be richer than the one in your own (which is a pretty damn nice shot you took by the way), and the reflection off of the driver side rear window in the banner looks like that of some clouds, while in yours there's almost no reflection.

but then again, all that could be photoshopped and it could be your car indeed.

lovin your car dude.

I am about 110% sure it is my car.. Are there any other G35's with full (non molded) ings+1 kits in diamond graphite with black faced wheels and brembos? And the same green grass in the window? haha.

Do we want a large picture post when the new wheels come in?

Hows the vortech treating you? I actually had one sitting in my garage before I bought my car but after hearing some of the horror stories on my350z.com, I quickly sold the unit. I figured I would just wait until I buy a new car next summer and make sure it's 300-400hp out of the box (or at least has an engine that is somewhat more boost friendly). I kind of regret selling it because I love boost, but in the long run I would rather not have to be wrenching every weekend just to have an extra 100hp.
Thanks for the props. The Vortech is treating me GREAT! Been on for 11,000 miles and NO problems at all. Are you sure the threads you were reading on my350z petained to the Vortech SC and not the ATI? I haven't heard of one blown motor with the Vortech. I've heard of one fried ring incident, but the owner said it was his fault cuz he tuned it too lean on the top end. I'n very happy with my power and it's way more than 100+ ponies. More like 160-190+. The base start with 280 crank hp and I'm getting close to 400 to the wheels with my current (SoCal) tune which equates to around 450-470 at the crank.

Not a ton of stuff; First set of 20" DPE's made, first imported set of JIC FLTA2's, first imported authentic INGS+1 customized bodykit (after a terrible experience with a replica), SPC toe bolt kit, full Kinetix front and rear camber kits, good ole clear bra (custom cut for INGS+1 kit) and suede interior (every piece that was tan, is now wrapped in graphite suede). I still have a damn grounding gear (8+1) kit in my garage that has never been used, if anyone wants it let me know. I just bought a whole bunch of stuff when it first came out and was content after that.

There-in lies the big issue, I don't have a reputable tuner within 200 miles. I have faith that I could install everything myself and learn from others mistakes, but I really don't want to have to deal with the hassle of getting my car shipped/towed to a tuning shop. I haven't hurt of many motor issues, only people having bolts come loose, belts come off and lots of squealing and rattling.

My last car (per my forum name) took a ton of work to get perfect, but I honestly never had a problem with the turbo setup. I went through a handful of axles and tires, but that is all par with the course. If I knew that I could order the Vortech, slap it on in a weekend and drive the car with only having to inspect the engine bay once a month or so, I would buy the kit again. I also barely drive the car, so the Vortech wouldn't take that much abuse; I have 5100 miles on the car and it just turned a year old.

I agree. The G in the banner has it's driver's window down and the reflections on the trunk and hood do not match at all. I do think they are the same car but not the same pic that turbo posted. Could it be a different pic from the same series???

It's the same picture.. the window isn't down in that picture, it's just leveled or sharpened. I don't have window tint, so it's easy for an image to look as though it is down. Reflections can easily be created by pour optimization as well.

How is your dealer w/ regard to mods and instailling this kind of stuff? Last time I was in the guy was showing me camera phone pics of a TT setup they just installed.

If you are asking me.. Atlantic Infiniti (in Jacksonville) is probably the most useless dealership in the history of dealerships; and that's just with service.

Turbo, do you have any recommendations on good tuners in JAX? I'm new to the area. A friend recommended Stage 6 Motorsports.
