Nissan 370Z Forum  

FI Car Owners..Your honest opinion please.

FI cars are really worth it if you do it yourself and can maintain it yourself. Like MMC said Shops can tkae a long time and that can get annoying.

FI cars are really worth it if you do it yourself and can maintain it yourself. Like MMC said Shops can tkae a long time and that can get annoying. Do you really want to have to rely on someone else if anything ever goes wrong? For some people that is necessary and I can apprecaite that it just makes it difficult because you want your car all of the time. But if you have to rely on a shop for everything a kit is certainly the easiest but way more expensive way to go.

A Daily driver, spare cash, and time to do your own projects will make the car very satisfying. If you can do all of that I would not do the kit route as recommended above. Most of the FI community has some generic kit and thats what slows progress on a platform. Thats why im thinking out of the box with my build. Hell im not even stopping with 1 custom build im doing 2 for the car one single turbo and one twin. But pioneering isnt for everyone.

With anything aftermarket expect some issues though. Nothing is perfect. Manufacturers spend years and millions on R&D when they release a new vehicle to make it reliable.
