the thing that upsets me the most is that as long as it took to get that car put together, was because i refused to buy cheap parts. The Nistune is a good system, there have been some very good results with it all over the nissan community. but a sketchy a** shop that tells you they can tune it... then takes 5 hours just to get it set up and figure out how to make the car idle... id have called it quits right there.

I built a good solid car, would have been perfect for the 16psi spring thats in the gate. probably should have made about 300-330whp and been very reliable and safe. Dee I took all the advice you gave me and used it. I just would rather at this point, have something stock and reliable in my life which is why i sold it. I dont know how else to tell anyone how meticulous i was about that car since no one has seen it in person really... It's a shame... a damn f***ing shame
Bro, lesson learned. You got paid, but it is probably nowhere near the efforts you put into it. The problem with young thunder cats with fast cars is the same with a bunch of other things, they jump in with no knowledge of what they are doing or getting themselves into and just mess it up for the next man .

my money's in the bank. I dont really have any attachment to it anymore. I traded some parts out to make some debts i owed even and all my CA parts are now gone. I have currently wiped my hands clean. I'm thoroughly enjoying the cobra, and actually just picked up a block, crank and some heads for it. I'll always love the nissans, but i think its time to go bigger
