Hey guys Im Justin I live in Miami and Im about to purchase a QX56 just wanted to introduce myself. Im not a noob with forums Im very active on Club Lexus. Ive been lurking for months and finally decided to join. I actually went to Warren Henry Infiniti and test drove a QX80 today and I loved it. It doesnt feel big at all and the thing is quick as hell too. This will make my second Nissan, I bought a 6 sp 350z Grand touring brand new in 2008 but she was unfortunately totally by a drunk driver 6 months later. My only memory of her are the 2 sets of keys I had.

Thats the QX I have my eyes on.

Aside from the QX, Im a bit of a speed freak my daily driver is a 443whp 2008 BMW 535i, speed is the only thing its good for other than that its a total POS. As you can see shes a bit of a sleeper. My last kill was a supercharged G37 lol.

My other car is a 1999 Lexus GS300 that Im currently sourcing parts to go boost really soon.

In the near future I plan to pick up a R32 GTS-T and drop a 2JZ in it. Yes Im a Toyota fanboi at heart thats always a something Ive wanted to do and it will get done.

Welcome! I've always been a 5-series fan. Have you done anything to your 535? I know they respond pretty well to a little extra boost.

That was pretty much what I thought about the QX56 I drove as well. Does a good job of disguising its mass and being very easy to drive. I really liked mine, and I'm not even really a big-SUV kind of guy.

I like it I wish there was a S/C kit like TRD does with the 5.7 V8s.

Yes it has the JB4 tune, AR catless downpipes, dual intakes, ER chargepipe, oil catch can, secondary cat delete, RPI catback and meth injection. I dynod it on 19lbs of boost on E85 and meth. These motors are great with mods but not so great with long term reliability.
