Her car shows about 271hp assuming 217whp/0.80 (20% assumed drivetrain loss).

From the actual dynos that have been posted, the gains aren't there with the conversion. The other issue is the documented performance of the early 2003 G35 sedans. They seem to run just as strong as the electric fan equipped G35's. I know of at least three 2003 sedans on this site that have posted some of the quickest ET/MPHs (sub 14.4s) for stock and modded. My 2003 went 14.3@98mph stock and there has been another 03 that did 14.2.
