Looks good! Nice, clean installation... it should be a rocket!

I like that Laser Red G35 Coupe parked next to it in the first picture, too. I wonder who that belongs to?

hey guys, sorry its taking so long. just want to say thanks to mike for being so patient. the car looks amazing. pictures just dont do it any justice. people come in my shop all the time just to look at the car. we are having a slight issue trying to get the haltech to start the car. i figured it would be the same as the HR due to some of the research i have done on it. i guess it is a little different but we have been working on it like crazy to get it all done.


i cant wait to see this thing on the dyno!!

Can anyone elaborate on the above questions?

I don't think there is a difference between the HR and VHR cam and crank triger.the hks fcon is also another option

The new gen vq engines meaning the HR and VHR , are superior in all aspect in comparison .they have stronger rods ,better cooling system and cylinders heads, also alot stronger bottom ends ,we have installed turbo kits on cars back in 2003 when they first came out (on stock engines )these cars to this day are steel in service without any problems ,some of them have over 40 k on our install and tune .so if you can make a vq35de survive all this time ,there is no doubt in my mind that the HR and VHR engine will surpass that .


Hope this helps

thats what i thought at first but it seems that the scopes look different when i scope them. maybe there is just a weird issue. thanks for the input though, i cant wait to get this thing on the dyno....

I don't think you will be getting an update. Not sure what happened with this car (I would assume it is finished), but Jeremy shut down Performance Factory 2-3 months ago and is now working for AAM in MD.
