That was a interesting read ! A little sobering and disappointing a 370z that cant handle 450hp .I was hoping to go FI down the road with something not too wild and everyday reliable is that possible ? Now I wonder ? Are those of us that want a FI doomed to sell and get something else ? seems to happen quite alot what do you guys think?

I don't think it is as extreme as it sounds, but I will comment after I get back and drive my Greddy kit around. And it is my DD!:driving:

I don't think it's that the z can't take the power. It can without a problem with good tires and clutch. I think most tt owers tt their car drive it for a yr or so and get bored with the power and it's and 10-20k jump from 500whp to anything else. So we tt owners dump the car.

There are many sides to the FI story. Here is mine.

I installed my TT kit in April. My car had 12k miles on it at the time.

I put down 474 hp and 396tq on a dynojet.

I get 18mpg mixed driving.

I drove it hard all summer with zero issues.

I have a 34 row oil cooler and never saw temps above 220 even on 98 degree days with hard driving.

I don't know what extra maintenance everyone keeps talking about with TT but the only thing that I do different is change the oil more often than I would normally.

When I put it away for the winter it had a little over 18k miles.

I would have no problem daily driving this car if I needed to. It starts and runs like stock until you get into the boost.

Don't get me wrong. I am not delusional. Whenever you take a NA car and add FI you are taking a big risk.

I did save a bunch by doing the install myself. I spent about $10k on the kit and supporting mods. I paid $32k for my car and I have about $1300 in other mods. So for less than $45k I have a fast, reliable and rare car.

Do I think it was worth it? HELL YES!

I agree!

By all means I say do it, I know not everyone will have the same experience I did, and it's not even that mine was all that terrible. I'm glad I did it and wouldn't change it. The GT-R is a dream car to me and once I realized it was in reach I made the decesion. Obviously all the things I listed earlier played in too lol.
