Even FUNNIER thing is the Brandon's VG did the SAME THING in 6 inches of water (I've been to the spot he swamped it in) For chrissake man it can happen to anyone, especially people who drive water hazards with the inner fender lining on the drivers side removed to make way for bigger tires and wheels

Again I ask you, haven't you replaced one of yours already?

Yeah, I got a "bitch box" in place of my inbox, but it's filled w/ bills

Unfortunately, this seems to be the trend with them lately...

Hey Chris, for the best of both worlds, and to alleviate any stress the power valve screws might give you, why not look for a nice 99.5-00 SE w/ the off road package. That way you get the better styling cues of the second gen. R50's w/ the VG's reliability. That guy OR99.5speed had a really nice example of said model

VQ, hands down. VG's are slow as molasses and the VQ power valve screws are a relatively easy fix with a little bit of wrench knowledge, an afternoon and some loctite. BOTH engines impress the hell out of me however. My mother used to have a 97 Q w/ the VG, all I remember was it wailing along at 5K RPM whenever pushed to pass on the interstate. VQ's really haven't been around for all that long though, so it's pretty hard to be able to swear by them. My vote, as far as track records and reliability goes to begin WOULD go to the VG, given their incredibly reliable history, but I have no qualms about my VQ yet, and much prefer the extra horses kicking around Both are excellent engines!

Wait, aren't YOU the moderator here, mz, with the special powers?

I'd SAS my R50 to be the 1st on the board to do so, and take one of these or these BOTH of which are 06's Still might have to cut into the SAS fund to afford one however

I agree, beers beer; there's no need to turn ANY away and with the sh!t I buy I don't really care. I think people who "only" drink bottled beer are like people who "only" drink bottled water...what the hells' the point? Seems like more of a selling scheme than anything else I WILL agree however that a Budweiser bottle vs. the same from a can tastes a helluva lot different, not necessarily better.

Good, this is finally pinned.

yes, it is the same engine, but I haven't done any sort of research on the Infiniti line w/ this engine (FX35, G35, M35)

Far as I know they're the only ones, at least, that's the only place I've seen them. I've heard LOT'S of mixed reviews on them.

Hooray to June B Days! Happy B Day guys!!

Not sure what your question is? Are you asking if you can mount lights in this opening??? Why wouldn't you be able to?

We shall see then. I only got them because they were much cheaper and an import parts store by my house happened to have them in stock. I guess only the long-term will tell.

Thanks for giving me a hand w/ it! I managed to get all those wires untangled and wrapped up neatly now

Wow you don't say!

...And this weekend it gets lifted :tongue:

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...I am doing my OME lift on Sat. and just replacing the bearings as well.....

Just be prepared for sticker shock when asking that at your local parts dept.

No they can't...only Nissans that can are Titan's and Armada's... As far as conversons, I think it's been discussed...try a search.

New bearings and mounts...DEFINATELY new bearings, I wouldn't try to use your original's, possibly camber bolts as well. That should be it though.

"If I wanted a Hummer I'd ask your girlfriend." (or wife) "No worries" That one I seem to be using more and more, not sure why I'm sure there's more, I'll just wait for them to spill out and edit my post as necessary!

Happy B Day Casey...MMmmmm, DQ cake :tongue:

Thanks guys *Edit: and GIRLS!!* And thanks SLICK for the reminder I'm a year older now
