Man, only if I had the money, I would buy it & ship it here to NZ. Would be almost as good as Ceasar Chariot.

I didn't know that Julio was selling the ENTIRE car... I thought he was just selling the turbo kit. Dang, I'd sell BOTH of my Maximas for a shot at that puppy... talk about a mad sleeper!

You'ld be suprised how many people call it a sleeper on the street that I have met even though the I/C is clearly obvious.

you know julio if you were smart you would put the car back to stock and sell the turbo kit and the car sepritly

you could proboly get 2500 for the car without the turbo

and get 2500 for the turbo kit

I totally rebuilt the motor to factory specs with new pistons so the car would be reliable under boost. The heads have also had a valve job done to them at the same time of the rebuild

what else was done to the motor internally to withstand boost besides the z pistons/valves?

i question the long term reliability of the powertrain especially the tranny if it is not built up/cyro treated, considering i blew my 5sp tranny sitting behind the power of a stock VE..

dont mean to be a critic, seeing as im currently rebuilding my VE, im just plauged with curiosity with all of it... anyway applaud to all the work done looks great

When Julio bought it, it was a 5spd, and I don't recall Jon doing a 5spd swap.

also julio, I dont know why but for some reason that box made its way back to my station, I'm just going to ship it fedex

gas mileage actaully doesn't suffer all that badly when not boosting. if you have it tune right you can theoretically get better gas mileage than stock.

you'd actually be surprised. if you do a good turbo system, when not boosting, you can actually get some pretty good gas mileage. i know of some people that have been getting better gas mileage due to having a better flowing intake and exhaust, more efficient this and that, and very good tuning. the only time your gas mileage suffers is when you're boosting.
