Hi Tim, glad they found your wheels! Wouldn't you be willing to pay the insurance company what they paid you for your signature wheels? The thieves should be charged with receiving stolen property, at the very least! That's the way it went when my sons wheels were stolen and recovered a few years ago. Took about 30 days until we got the wheels back. Fun part was I busted the guy, called the Sheriff and had his vehicle impounded upon his arrest. Unique wheels are difficult to hide, in your own part of town!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
That's the issue here Gary and the answer is no. I paid $500 for the wheels originally and the insurance company ppaid me almost $3000 to cover the claim for the wheels, tires and lug nuts. Basically paid me brand new replacement prices. So as much as I love them I'm not paying back what they paid me, they're not worth that much to me. If that's the case my Mustang wheels will do just fine. If I could get them back for what I paid for them then it's a no brainer. Besides the ride on the 18's is sooo smooth, I've fallen in love with the car all over again, especially paired with the NWP 75mm throttle body. It's amazing how much a small mod can change the car.

lol yep, and North it's that good. I'm surprised it's not a more popular mod, especially for those of us that are heavily modified.

The mod is popular with the Maxima guys (the throttle body itself is from the 09+ Max), only recently did nwp start marketing their adaptor to make it plug and play.

NWP has more goodies they are testing for the G/Z as well. He will be releasing a package not too long from now.

The NWP throttle body replacement/mod is relatively new as it was only released in July of this year. People like me who really need to research before a purchase won't just buy it until a few avid drivers review it.

That's the boat I'm in, I really want to see some reviews before dropping money on one.

There are now at least 3 and maybe 4 review threads at this point which all on here are positive. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this mod to anyone who is looking to extract all the driving pleasure out of their car that they can.

It's going to be a complete intake spacer kit basically for the VQ. I don't know the full details but I talked with him about it over the phone a few weeks ago.

He's sponsoring the Sedan GTG this year and we'll be raffling off a few of his items.

I too would recommend the big bore TB to anyone. It was worth every penny
