That being said, a lot of great things have been accomplished in driveways!
What you don't realize is, with the price of paying Nissan to install your CBE, you can buy all the tools you would ever need for all your bolt on modding, and have plenty of ca$h in hand.

Nissan wanted $450 to install my Nismo S-Tune suspension. All the tools for doing the job and more are around $150 and did it myself. (Harbor Freight floor jack was $80--a must have!)

For a CBE install you are looking at around $75-$100 in tools! (Mostly floor jacks/ramps)

I appreciate your comments, you know I went around a few of the auto repair and speed shops in my general area to inquire about doing some mods mostly bolt on work and I just could not bring myself to trust anyone messing around with my new car including myself except Nissan or my Infiniti dealer.

That being said, I’m sure your right, on the savings and satisfaction of doing it yourself!
I will certainly think on it, thank you,
Alex
