Not to threadjack but...
Well I've heard rumors you can retain your factory warranty with a Stillen supercharger, any idea how true that is? Another big thing for me is reliability...
I am biased to the turbo sound though, no comparison. I need to shop around for pricing as well... I would like to spend around 7K (not including clutch or exhaust) and My goals are about 450-500 on pump. =P

Back on topic, yes, I book marked this. I must have one! I don't mind paying a pretty penny to someone who provides good build quality and takes pride in their work.

Do some searching on the site for Stillen supercharger. I think there was a member who had one installed and he destroyed his engine. I think it was install related and the Nissan dealer who installed it was giving him a hard time about warranting the repairs.

As for the pillar, let me know when you're ready

What if you tried to put the gauge pods closer together so they look like they are stacked on top of each other? Would that work?

I recently made a Premium Dual gauge A-Pillar.

Here is how it looks through the windshield,

Custom? You mean an OEM option right?

Jason, got my a-pillar today. Everything is PERFECT. Pictures do no justice.

Everyone else, if you ever consider doing business with Jason you will not be disappointed. The level of customer service, communication, end product, everything is beyond what you could expect. Hell he even helped me with other car problems I was having, completely unrelated to the a-pillar.

Great to hear! Thank you for the kind words Austin! It was a pleasure dealing with you too.

No I haven't. I've just been helping our people on this forum. I don't know anyone with a G37, and I don't frequent any G37 forums. I just need to find someone in Toronto area that wants one to get the ball rolling. Do you know of anyone?

There is also a chance that I *might* be able to make one if I had a G37 A-Pillar trim and detailed photos of the dash.

Hi,

I'm VERY interested in the dual gauge pillar.. I do have a few questions...

Could you do a RHD Option..?

Is the colour and texture matched to the existing and surrounding trim..?

Is it compatible with my 2013 370Z that has the airbags in the A-Pillar..?

Are you able to give me a price of what you'd charge for something like that..?

Thanks for your time..

I can do a RHD option. It will take a little longer than normal because everything would need to be built from scratch.

The colour is very close to stock. I personally don't notice a difference from one side to the other and I haven't had a complaint about the colour match yet. If you are really concerned I can dye both pillars. I'm very picky when it comes to stuff like this for my car, the colour matches perfectly (for my picky eyes) and I didn't bother dyeing the other pillar.

The pillar is fabricated using factory Nissan parts as a base allowing for the new Pillar to be installed exactly the same way as the original one. It does not impede the function of the airbags.

PM sent.
