Certainly.. He could probably buy NICO and continue to do these upgrades..

He can live out my phrase "go big or go home"... Certainly is going big!! He probably already has 1 better Q than all of us, and he has that x3!!

Cant wait to see it Brian

HD, you speak my language.

- IMPUL POWERVK45DD 5.1 liter complete engine The VK45DE/VK45DD reforming 5.1 liter engine IMPUL POWER specification for CIMA low administered the torque increase at the medium speed and the tuning which aimed for power rise. With that, sharp start and surpassing acceleration where the weight class saloon you cannot think are actualized, regarding the high-speed limits the strong acceleration impression can be tasted. - Tuning contents Aerodynamic volume displacement rise 4494cc -> 5064cc Bore 93mm -> 96mm Stroke 82.7mm -> 87.5mm Impul original ¥ crankshaft Impul original ¥ forging piston Compression ratio rise and section balance taking - VK45DE reforming 5.1L complete engine (while developing) Power 280ps/6000rpm -> 370ps - VK45DD reforming 5.1L complete engine Power 280ps/6000rpm -> 350ps/5600rpm

Torque 46kg-m/3600rpm -> 53kg-m/2850rpm * Price: VK45DE reforming 5.1L engine 195 ten thousand Yen (estimate value)

VK45DD reforming 5.1L engine 180 ten thousand Yen(including tax 189 ten thousand Yen) Engine removal and re-installation payment and fee of the oils and fats are included* Engine block takes in trade.

Interesting the port injected DE produces more power than the direct injected DD. Have to love all the Infiniti badges they are selling in Japan, and the Öhlins shocks and Calsonic radiators and air-to-air heat exchangers.

Not much for the G50 or even F50 is evident anymore except for ECU, stainless rear exhaust section, and spring/shock combinations.

Nice find MAX, Heavy any word on the final price?

[HeavyDuty]

Holler at me tomorrow, I need to stay within your offered pricing even if it means I have to cough up more than I wanted to just for new tires, again.

I can just run the BBS's again for a little while until I can come up with the difference.

I thought...ehh...six plus what? maybe $1-200?

Uh, no, more like six plus ~$390 for the size I need & brand I want. F1's, Pilots, KDW's, Potenza's, etc.

Dammit!

I want you to have if you like, and I want them off the car asap if you're interested, to preserve them.

Notice there is a Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40-18 99Y XL 220 AA A 1709 lbs. $258 on Special.

I think your experiment is convincing me to go no larger than 17". Thank you for the information.

I assume your front tire is hitting on the outside?

So, as an expert, do you think the rings will work long term?

FWIW, the old rims on my car (in the pic) were not hubcentric, but I was not able to tell until trying to install the Q45 rims (dark bronze). The only thing I can say is "noticable" is a smother bump transition, but the new tires do have a slightly taller sidewall.

I think the thing to take into consideration is the "quality" of the rings. Mine have over 30k miles (from me along) and are not cracked or brittle.

that is the shiznet man!

the muchkins really kinda don't mesh with the profile ...

but they seem to enjoy rollin with the bass thumpin!

I have been thinking about wheels too ... the pies are killing me ... dull dull dull .... but I need factories!
