    Default Guess im a noob too

    Been posting a lot here recently, but I'm relatively new to the IA scene.

    Hailing primarily from the Marietta area where I have my apt on SPSU campus. Drive a 1994 Infiniti J30 that I am having fun now modding since not many other people do besides wheels.

    In progress of getting J30 ECUs looked at to do tuning with and see where that goes. Also seeing what Nissan parts are swappable onto the J30 to make it better.

    Manual swap is possibly lurking in the near future. It is a relatively fun car to drive. I enjoy the AUTO mainly cause I sit in rush hour bumper to bumper traffic for 2 hrs each day.

    Thanks! Staggered set of 03-04 G35 coupe wheels painted with Duplicolor Graphite color. Much better than the stockies.

    181 rwhp and 168 ftlbs is the most i have made so far

    here is a graph from this spring when i was messing around with a chipped 300zx ecu. the 300zx ecu did worse at the bottom end.

    Yah thats Southern Poly. They have been doing a lot of construction the past year in that area. New parking deck, frat houses and dorms. Were you adding lines for the frat houses that are going up?

    As for the motor. Im actually going to save up and go big with a TT manual swap. Takes a lot of money to make decent power with these NA. I want to settle with a decent 375rwhp +/- when I am done with the TT swap.

    Yeah, those big yellow Pike trucks.....right on the bridge, blocking all the traffic My crew isn't there anymore, but there is still 3 crews there. We came in and set some concrete vaults and drilled in some pipe. And yeah the power is running from the frat houses to the parking decks and stuff, where the crane is sitting.

    Its been interesting to see how much gets done when you are gone for a certain period of time. i was gone for a week and the parking deck went from 1 level to almost fully assembled. i dont use the back entrance much due to the massive pot holes that they have to keep on filling in.
