I won't know how the syntec does until I change the oil to back to GTX or keep it with syntec.
blackstone loved my GTX sample. I ran 4500 miles on it and they told me to try 6000...

I dont see any issues going back and fourth, My old VQ30 i did GTX once in a while. Syntec 5w40 most of the time because i got a free supply. I did mobil1 once and back to normal cheap-o stuff like wolfhead. No issues.

So far on this VQ35 its only been GTX and mobil5000.

It's a chemical treatment using electrochemical deposition similar to galvanization, but a little different.

Gives a more purple and green look than titanium burns.

Is there a coupe version of the RLQT? If not there needs to be. I'm not making it though, I'll leave that to someone that actually owns a coupe. Maybe it'll stick that way.

Anyway, my question:

In terms of both sound and performance, how much difference is there between the Nismo style y-pipes (I think the Megan V1???) and the HR y-pipes (be they OEM, or the HR looking newer Megan Y.. V2???)

In other words, this:



vs. this:



And is this ^ one more of an upgrade than an OEM HR pipe? Is it an upgrade to an HR equipped G or Z???

every time i hit a hard bump, i crush the metal that holds the bumper to fender, making the sidemarker fall out...i've had to straighten it out several times already, but it only really happens on driver's side...anything i can do to prevent this? i'm gonna end up losing my sidemarkers

You could trim the bracket and fender tab, drill a new hole, and hold it with a ziptie
