Installed a factory black grille and an ams/infiniti heat exchanger. Anyone else have 83 of those plastic body panel push pin thingies left over after that? 😂

Can definitely say that listening to exhaust clips of this thing heavily influenced the purchase choice.

This one is definitely my favorite setup so far. Going to do 2.5 inch catback, xpipe, vibrant ultra quiet resonators. And all done.

It's so wierd hearing that noise from an infiniti.

Good luck with your search (not sarcasm). I tracked these things for 6 months, trying to find a single owner, non crashed one, that wasn't like new z06 marked up for pricing. It was an intensive effort. But I'm unlucky, so...

If you're serious, lmk and I know of one listed ONLY on one website in Hawaii. I was gonna ship that one here, but decided that just going with a higher mileage one was a better option for me.

I probably followed up with a dozen dealerships (including in AK and HI) to find a good one.

Nissan used these same engines in their lmp cars. Some headers, some slight head porting work, and you get this...

Tires are here for the fx! Had an infiniti dealer in VA replace front and rear diff fluids, transfer case fluid, do brake and transmission flush, and put new brakes on all around.

Car should be shipping soon and need to get rims repaired (curb rash), catback exhaust done, and put in new drop in air filters. The will rip out amp and sub from Betty and install into the fx. And all done with daily driver!
