I recently had to help one of your not so happy G37 customers. Having to cut the radiator supports to get the intake installed would have been great info to put in the install manual.

uhhhh....No one else has had to cut the radiator supports, you do need to trim the front core support but that is clearly posted on the website and outlined in the instructions...

http://www.stillen.com/product...202DR

"Recommended installation requires removal of the front fascia clip (not absolutely necessary, but significantly aids in ease of installation) and slightly enlarging the holes through the front core support. Installation time is estimated at two hours for an experienced technician. No other part relocation or parts removal is required."

It is also pretty clear in instruction 8 (photo 5)

I am for sure going to bring the coupe and if Josh comes then he'll probably be bringing either the 09 Maxima or the new G37. We're not entirely sure yet.
I'll drive one of those cars for you guys

Thanks for the offer! I'll let the engineers know. It might be nice to have a manual vehicle to do the final testing. I'm not sure what they have in mind, I do know that it will more than likely be a little while before anything is available.

I think the ecu tune would only be a good for the manuals. I believe if you pull the govenor off that cvt transmission its going to overspin and grenade itself. Seems rather risky.

Well, I would say test it for youself. My statement is only a theory. A company also once told me that a turbo system would never fit in the 3.5 CVT engine compartment, and we conquered that

There are lots of different ways to tune the ECU's without hurting anything. For starters, all cars come from the factory pretty rich...Just by leaning it out and adjusting the timing a little you can gain great power.

bighercman, importroller, Jose3.5, Damien (from other forums), and you makes at least 5 Sedans that are definately going... Ramon (nissan4life) may come also... you won't be the only Sedan! There's gonna be about 40 or more cars, they definately won't all be Altima Coupes!

Eddie... we're meeting at Stillen. We are NOT meeting up at MainPlace anymore.

Just a heads up so you're not waiting at MainPlace for like an hour wondering where we're at.

We're meeting at Stillen 8 or 8:30ish. The sooner the better. And it's been stated before that we're meeting in the parking lot at Stillen.

Awesome!!! Glad to see that a few sedans will be there. Stillen parking lot at 8? Damn thats freakin early for me. Its gonna take me about an hour or so to get there from Victorville. Oh well, i guess thats the price i pay for living up in the high desert.

^edonissan13 will be rolling down with us. He's got a sedan.

And Jose, 8 is just the time the earlybirds will be there. I don't think we'll be leaving until about 8:30 or so.
