Did not like the blind spot and they were given the ex away at my dealership.

I paid less for a new one that the used ones are going for...

I had it narrowed down to the MB GLK and the Audi Q5 but once I test drove the little ex35 and saw that it was $10k cheaper fully loaded I was sold..

100 hp gain on an all aluminum v6 without forced air will cost you more than you bought the car for.

Infinity motors alone are $10k to replace...stock.

so how much would it cost to run a hair dryer on the infiniti?

I never drove the FX but I drove the nissan, I didnt' like it either, it was basically the same car..

b/c of the way the motor is built there are no real increases in HP through any sort of bolt ons. the motor is essentially the same as what is in the 350z. the 350z does not see any real HP gains untill it is introducted to some sort of forced induction. i'm sure you could rebuild the motor completely to get around 350hp but cost would not justify.

All you need is a NOS sticker. You'll gain 150+ going uphill

Im sure for the most part, a 350 z kit would work, you would just have to run custom intercooler piping and have someone runa custom tune. prob in the neighobr hood of 5 grand all said and done

only way is FI

I have a G35 and really there isnt much but a super chager or turbo

I have a K&N drop in....but thats just cuz the air filter is expensive vs $10 clean kit

definitely dont fill it up full of your products, that will only weigh it down more.

you could always buy a used supercharger kit for a a couple grand

Engine swap with the 5.0 in the FX50.

Just put a nice 125 wet shot on it and BAM, you'll have it. Be around $1000 if you do it right. And you have a stock car until you need the extra Lil juice.

Safe as any mod when done right

That would be my choice.
