LOL. Nope they are no more. Took the G pretty much back to the day I bought her.
I still have the wheels and exhaust but thats about it. The stereo I kind of liked so I kept that as well. Now it LOOKS fast but is really just a stock G. Using the G to get me to work and back and having the GTR for fun is where it's at. No need to nickel and dime myself to death with 2 built cars. Also, after reading a lot of the FI posts by the My350Z.com guys about blown motors I figured getting a good year's worth of boost without major engine trouble was a success. From what I was seeing, even low boost and a good tune it is just a matter of time on the VQ, that and it depends on how happy the guy building your engine was that day and whether it could take the boost or not. I still just didn't want to leave it to chance. But DAMN that was a fun car when it was TT!!!!!
