It'll definitely look nice on your car Maz.

Now you have to find a good place that can PC them properly since it's harder to do candy colors.

Good choice.

It's the Valve Body inside the automatic transmission, they take it out and modify it so that the car can handle S/C or TT, for N/A it'll give better shifting and better performance, my car should shift like a manual transmission car, and the power should be the same, if not better.

I'm gonna get the whole thing assembled by GTM for $1750, they'll get a brand new valve body from Infiniti for me, then they'll modify it and install the TransGo kit and send it for me, it should take them 1 week for the whole process, then my car gonna kit some @$$.

lol dude you're going the right way in upgrades,

for me personally I'm not sure if i'll still have my car after 2 years, I would love to keep it but "family rules" block me from that (Unless I can justify a second car lol)

But please let me know how the reflash kit goes as that seems to be the most viable option for me right now.

Oh yeah and earlier I didn't understand your comment on getting slowing mods lol but I just got home and re-read it , well at least with my new Candy brakes I can brake later and it'll look cool loooool

Oh and how can I forget my S bumper must of at least have given me 10hp gain from stock,

and with the number plate hidden that's an easy 12+ hp gain due to better aerodynamics from the journey bumper.

So all in all I'm still faster

Btw, a new tuner is arriving at my friends garage on 10th of April, so i can't do the reflash until i dyno my car at his dyno (since i made my last 3 runs there to see how much each mod gave me) becuase i didn't have the chance to run my car on a dyno since i installed my RTP, my last dyno was 243rwhp on the Dyno Dynamics, so i'll do a dyno run to see how much hp i gained from the RTP, then i'll upload the reflash and see how much hp i gained from it.

if your heart is set on red and you don't want it to look too blingy, a dark candy red is the way to go. make sure your painter uses a dark base coat and not too much pearl. otherwise the red will look out of place in bright sunlight.

Sweet, it'll be nice to see what gains the RTPs gave u, I was actually thinking about them just earlier on today

Yeah I agree, but if you can suggest any other color that'll go well with the IP then let me know, but after seeing the candy red I think it'll be the best, I hope so anyway

Blue or Red would look great but do it soon you need something to offset that black. But if you can pull of the white it would look so much better with the paint job.
