LOL.... yes, I was hoping to hear opinions from both sides of the fence. I wanted to hear a lot from those folks who have F.I.'d. Do they like it? Was the cost worth it? Maintenance/repair nightmares? Streetable? etc etc

And btw, to respond to your Zena question, that's Xena, not Zena But yeah sorta.... I wanted to name her Zoey, but I couldn't get Zena out of my head... It means something in greek too. I forget what it is....

Never heard of Fujimura, Ken. So it's just the muffler and tips? The rest of the piping is Stock? How you like it? Got a video clip? I'd love to hear it.

Yeah no K&N drop ins for me. I had it on my G, but I dunno.... didn't really notice much gains, plus the filter just felt and looked dirty to me all the time. I know it probably had nothing to do with it, but my Mobil 1 full synthetic oil was ALWAYS black even when changed after 3 months ever since I got my K&N filter. Can particulates enter the combustion chamber from the intake???? hmmmmmm Right now I just have Wix filters in the OEM box. Really happy with them. More filter media than OEM, but yet slightly better air flow. And best part, it's dry.

Please talk more about your FI setup.... what kind? how much invested? you like it? install a pain in the rear? any issues? streetable? best part about it is........??? worst part about it is.............?

about your K&N... not sure. ive only used the factory filter in my G35C so dont know. my oil is kinda dark but then the color does not reflect how worn the oil is. need to send it into a lab to know for sure. i only change my oil once a year using Mobil1 silver cap.

Eeeek.... clicked on the site, I can't read Japanese

Perhaps you can just post a pic of your exhaust and a sound clip



But I digress.... to others on the forum, especially those that are FI.... please chime in with what you did, why you did it, how much was the entire set up/install, and what you like/dislike about it.

thanks!

im pretty sure it'll cost way over $6-7k for F.I. some guys over here went to get a quote on the price and it came out to around $13k for everything. personally, i think its very expensive for a "mod" where you can't fully use its full potential on the streets but that's just me. and it kills the reliability of the car. the shop said that under 500whp, you'll need an engine rebuild at around 60k miles which would be another ~$7k according to them.

I feel you. I just got my 240z going and drove it as my DD for 2 weeks. Then the other day I got back in the 370TT and almost sh*t myself

To Op. 500hp on a street car is a little much.. I rarely see above 5k rpms in 3rd or above because you are going just to fast by that point, but the 20mph-80mph boost is worth it IMO.
