[@odgreen808]

@@1-Six-dee Your absolutely right, the aftermarket isn't at the same level as a Honda motor but really there aren't many engines that do occupy the aftermarket real-estate like those few. Try and check out SOHO Motorsports, they are a Nissan exclusively shop and have some setups that can set you back some 8-15k w/all supporting mods but can net you 700-100hp. Also check out AAM, but your looking at fully built, strengthened and TT motors and mods... very expensive!

Quick question do you know if I can use q50 parts (splitters, spoilers, diffusers,etc.) on my q60. For some reason the q50 parts go for a lot cheaper and have more options. I was wondering if I can just use the q50 parts or if i’m stuck with only using q60 parts. Thanks
