They told me 'we have a ton of stuff for your VE' and I tried to get specifics/information from them at the time. They told me it was ALL in the catalogue blah blah and that they'd send me one so I can see. I get the catalogue and it doesnt have anything listed for the VE.
Haz the 300zx and some sentra/240 stuff listed along with a ton of Jaguar and other foreign cars, but nothing for the VE. Bastards shoulda just helped me with my specific questions...

I guess they're just trying to say "we can do stuff for ANY car, you just gotta pay us!!"
The max never looked so good...on a flat bed.

I just noticed your wheel gap is a little higher than mine. Is this what everyone else with Intrax looks like? My Intrax actually tuck right over the tires or have a 1 finger gap, is it cause of the 18's?

Hey, top-end, how's that scoop working out for you? I'm planning on putting one in over an in-engine-bay cone filter with a little actuator so I can close it when it rains and open it up on the highway from the cabin... is yours functional? And if it is, any problem with rain?

Or you can just get a Warpspeed Cold Air Intake and call it a day. It makes known power increases and from what I hear most everybody likes them. Pretty cheap too. www.warpspeedperformance.com

FYI: You gotta remember that 99% of cars are built with an optimistic speedo, at least cars destined for the USA. Many foreign car companies are worried about Americans being sue-happy and liability issues if their speedo reads 65 and they get a ticket for 70, etc. You can see how easy it is for them to decide to build an error into their speedos. A 10% error is not uncommon and wont affect much at normal speeds (60mph = 6mph). But at top speeds, when you're reading 145 or so, that's 14-15mph right there. Some speedos have shown 15% errors. There was a reent article on this in some car magazine not too long ago. Car & Driver tested new stock VE 5spd to hit 138mph I believe it was. They use actual speed derived from expensive equipment and then average a 2 way run to account for winds. so remember if you have the speedo pegged in a VE, you are only going about 135-140mph, unless you are highly modded.

vg auto top speed excess of 130+ i say 135mph.
VE 5spd 120, didnt want to push her yet, besides she is running weak.
hopefully with all the mods she will eb able to breath and work better at faster speeds.. you gotta love the variable intake open up around wot 3k+ groowolll!!
