Looks kinda bulky...

Makes weird noises too.


Unfortunately it hasn't been fully tuned yet, we got the drivability portion figured out but it breaks up at 80% throttle so I need to swap the plugs and wires out while installing a fuel pressure gauge on the interior so we can see if the second pump is working at all.

Sounds like fuel? Are you tuning with a wideband?

Drivability is the hardest part of tuning IMO. Get that nailed down, and you're most of the way there.

Wait this is the stock manifold? It looks like an Igloo cooler.

Nope.

Finally got around to putting my LSA blower on, smaller 2.55" upper pulley and wound up doing a FORE Innovations dual 300lph fuel pump system with a Hobbs switch to fire up the second pump at 7psi. Huckleberry helped out on the install and then when my schedule was crazy my friend (whos garage it stayed in) got to tinkering to finish it up.

Went a little overboard on a stock-ish setup regarding the fuel system but hey, at least I don't have to upgrade that stuff except for maybe injectors.

It's since been turned back into Nissan since my Lightning wound up showing up to the dealer 3 months after placing the order which was unexpected, but in that time I've now put nearly 20k miles on the Lightning (as seen in the post in plac thread.)

G8 GXP was finally tuned after trading IT work and made 594whp.

I have since picked up a Monster LT1-S triple disk clutch since the stock one said "nah, not for me dawg" so I'll eventually have to get that put in in the near future.

How easy was it to turn in the Frontier and how did you like it?

Initially, I loved the Frontier, and towards the end of the 18-month lease, I was thinking I'd just buy a Pro4X since it was within my budget. Unfortunately, the experience of simply GETTING that base model Frontier as part of the 99% residual value lease was so painful that I swore off buying from a Nissan dealership for the remainder of my life. So many lies, attempts at getting more money from me, etc.

Turning it in was simple. Had it inspected by their third-party company while at work, who claimed no damage was found so I owed nothing other than my turn-in fee.

The only issues I really had with the Frontier was that after the F150 showed up, it just felt like an ox-cart when driving around....the 9 speed had some quirks at times and I guess since I got used to the interior space of the F150 quickly, the Nissan just felt cramped.

I misunderstood a little and thought you meant you had to turn it in way early, was wondering if they were able to buy back easily enough.

Bummer about the but not really surprising, you were probably their first customer with a credit score over 600 and they were at a loss on what to do. Sad as it seems the cars have gotten a lot better.
