A/C to the intake does work. I have seen it on a dyno a few times, the car has to have a engine big enough to make it worth while...heatsoak is a big problem on some cars...

The other issue is NO dragstrips will let you run your A/C at the track usless it's a private rental day

I'm sure he feels that he knows best and that his opinion counts most being a moderator and that people will be scared and feel the need to keep their hands from typing their thoughts. whoops, did i just type that?anyway, i thought all this was water under the bridge, but i guess you're going to continue with your random bs posts when anything that has to do with FM is posted or mentioned. Way to spread your moderator wings dude... Setting a great example by the way......................
i am pretty sure LBC was referring to the fact that every front bumper and side kit our for the a/c looks almost identical. I dont think it was a direct blow to FM just a plea for something different. Everyone calm the F down

THANK YOU BULLDOG! 08altima35, you call it a different option? they are essentially the same thing IMHO.

Did i bring up any of the old "issues" i had with FM? NO.

Last time i aired them out was at the NY auto show, that they didnt show up to. If you look at my Carlisle Nicofest post, you will see pics i even posted here of the FM coupe. WHO ELSE HAS SEEN IT IN PERSON?

I didnt attack them by any means, you guys are bringing up old beef, not me....

I was merely stating the fact that if all the bumpers were next to eachother, most of us wouldnt know which is which because they are essentially identical.

I in no way attacked FM or the quality of their builds.

Then again, i dont have to explain myself. I just choose to so the peanut gallery (you guys posting here) doesnt think im flaming FM

This thread is about the NISMO items in development, lets hope they arent making the same front fascia everyone else is making.

Okay doke,

I see why Warner got mad dude. I mean, If you had said that, right after the same post, with "STILLEN" in it. I wouldn't have taken it lightley either. We all used to fight Warner about FM. It was childish, we were playing favorites, and we got over it. Its cool now. There might have been more involved here, maybe Warner had a bad day, and wasn't in the mood to hear to that. Maybe he took it the wrong way. There are a lot of stipulations here. Brian, your the man, but this did come off at the wrong time. We can take this as a learning expereince, and figure everyone has a clean slate

I really dont see what there is to get upset at in that post... everyone was drawing conclusions about what i meant... (why was everyone thinking so negative? )

I think we can all agree (FM agreed as well) that they are very similar... Thats all i was saying... I didnt make any attack at all, i was attacked.

I just hope theres not a 3rd version of this very similar fascia, with the NISMO tag on it.

i edited my posts as we're still in the wake of the nighttrain nightmare (i just got around to reading that thread) and wish to continue my nico involvement on a non-personal level from now on as i really don't care about one opinion from the next. anyway,

like sideskirts/lip already in dark slate.

I doubt it..
all of your body parts will usually come with a raw surface and will not be painted or primered which gives you the consumer the choice of paint and primer you want to use. this is a good thing as the nissan factory paint as we all know doesn't hold up well to rocks, door dings, and those sorts of things, while a bodyshop will usually (big USUALLY) will do a better job to make sure your not standing at their front counter saying "WTF kinda operation are you guys running here"

Personal involvement is the lifeblood of nico! check the "like these wheels" threads lol...

Nothing is wrong with sharing your opinion, you are entitled to it, and people want to hear it!

Dont "cut yourself off" because of a little "scrapping" going on, i value your opinions!

Sure I agree with you in that I do not like the styling or relatively cheapness of the fiberglass body parts but you could have stated that instead of continuously beating on these guys...

This place used to be fairly unbiased and a great place for information. But now more than ever, I see posts such as this one. It's especially shameful upon the entire NICOclub because it was authored by a moderator-- and that really portrays an image of an organization. I understand I am here by choice but honestly I really hope I don't continue to see silly posts like this. If I wanted to join a forum for little kids poking fun at each other, I'd go somewhere else. NICOclub is about friendlyness and a sense of family, let's try not to shun others like what happened here, lets simply speak the truth/fact.
p.s. i didnt mention quality or materials (just meant they have the same "look". I bring shame to NICO?

I feel I need to explain why I was so rash... I've been getting relatively irritated recently by the outbreak of "my buddies are cooler than your buddies" and the good ol' "I street raced and beat this car/that car" threads.

Sorry for blowing up after your post. It wasn't the only reason for it by any means, but it just means we need to moderate the forums a little better and keep this place the family oriented and fun place it is.

i cant delete/move threads without reason... thats what "general" forum is for...

If XZY member wants to brag about how he was going 90 in the rain on a curve... i cant just make it disappear!

Its a community for EVERYONE, including 18 yr old drivers, 90 yr old drivers... crap, even people without alti's are here!

I hate to bump this thread, but I was fishing in here for info to post in the Stillen Group Buy thread and noticed some info might be useful here for others.
