why would you need to "test on a rental car" unless you had some feeling that this would do damage? hmmm... we could talk plenty about tech stuff, but it would be a waste of time, fighting on the internet is, as they say, like competing in the special olympics... sport compact tested this product on cars that are much faster... just cuz it worked on one car doesn't mean it works on all of them, that makes me think it is even more dangerous, like it is some one size fits all product. i was saying specifically for your car, because of the cvt, it may not be the best idea. but i really don't care enuff to continue arguing this.

what?
that is weird
Id say there are a few reasons why they didnt initially come with nismo parts.
1. R&D takes time, effort, interest2. Atleast the 2.5 is made for fuel economy, some parts will cause that economy to go down. ie... cams, throttle controllers and others3. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
I was installing my K&N intake last weekend and i had a conversation with my father about the cheap looking plastic intake manifold. I said to him why the heck is that part plastic and not better material on such a nice car. he said to me "how much did you want to pay for your car". They gotta cut corners somewhere. That is why there is such a need for the after market community.
Thank you!!! that is what i was saying in my 2nd post, there are ALWAYS reasons that a certain part doesn't come standard on a car.
BMW awhile back hired the engineer that was working for an aftermarket ecu tuning company to work inside doing engine management. obviously this was because they realized the extra cost wouldn't outweigh the extra benefits. maybe this product will help... w/e but remember your car's speed limiter kicks in very soon after this product is quoted to actually be of much assistance(above 90). you should prolly get some track times on your car though first. see what kind of difference you are actually getting. i am a little interested.
