Kito auto sports in Seattle is great if you want Seattle area
if you up for a little Drive to Kent hit up Intec Racing as they have done alot of Inf/Nissan work lately and big projects.

yeah its not really worth it IMO to put a different motor in when there is so much you can do to the VQ to make it stout as it.

If you do build the engine you wont have to worry about the oil consumption issue too

High compression NA VQ35DE in a clean 280 would be FILTHY!!!!!

Are you still looking for a shop? A couple good friends just opened up a shop in Bellevue, and have plenty of VQ experience. In fact, they're just finishing up a Vortech install for another forum member right now.
