Haha..Shit like that? Nice wordage!
The pans will hopefully get installed on my buddies 04 FX35 as he lives 4 hours from me and CNC factory is near him..i will remind him to weigh the pans and all other specs! We didnt make the pans for selling! Just a hobby of ours to see what custom/useful mods we can do on the FX..The 1st Gen FX is getting old and nobody now except you and a few give a damm about modding..Totally dried up!
There are many 1st gens here that already want the pans and shipping is easy as pie! Will keep u updated bro as you are awesome in what u r doing to ur FX..Hail to the 1st Gen Masters!

nice but may be not so much demand. if you can do the radio knobs then they'll sell like hotcakes..

Hi bro, not really into the knobs..could be easily done thou if they have a spare radio knob to do but not sure if the factory would want to do little things like that.Suppose I can ask..but for sure they would prob want to do at least 10 + sets and like i said..1st Gen interest has dried up.

Ha, you like that wordage. I think it was MSNBC that made a statement last year and said that those who cuss a lot tend to be more intelligent. In the past, cussing typically = ignorance. These dicks cannot make up their minds.
Yep, not too many interested in modding these days. Before coming to this site, I considered posting everything on a 350z site as I have a lot more in common with those guys and I've learned a hellofalot more on that side of the fence and elsewhere but in the end, it's an FX and belongs right here.
Hey, I get more props today from all manner of folk than ever. The 1st gen was far ahead of it's time and has got serious staying power. Maybe some day the FX will be recognized for the incredible trend it set in motion 15 years ago. Maserati and Jaguar among others are still copying it. If only they put a turbo on the fucker from the factory, then maybe it'd be a Jap. classic like a supra or rx-7.

The longer we hold on, the fewer of them there will be and maybe, just maybe some day the FX will be recognized for what it is and for the incredible trend it set in motion 15 years ago.

Hi bro, yeah..cussing is good..lol.
Agree..FX should come with Turbo or SC stock..Would get much more sales. Stephen Curry was here a couple of weeks back to promote the Q60..i do love that twin turbo one but like u said and my FX only has 60k on the clock and has been modded like hell..I also have an amazing mechanic(2 of them) who have amazing knowledge of cars, he changed all front bearings and seals as well as my rotor pack bearings and made custom seals for that too.
Stillen are fuckers as u need a special tool to open parts of it so most in the USA have to go back to Stillen to do the change..Fucking Cunts! And they charge the shit out of you for labor..i paid 150 US for everything and done in less than 2 days..He also made me new custom pullies for my blower..pic enclosed..He told me not to use the cogs i had b4 as they are noisy and the biggest factor to why I changed is that the new ones u see in the pic failed first time from anither CNC factory B4 finally nailing it second time round..6 weeks waiting in total..Not easy to do those cog pullies..They look nice but probs to maintain..Those two 6 rib pullies u see can be done in a few days if needed and he also made the bottom pulley bigger than the stock so thats why difficult to find the 6PK belt..haha..Got more boost thou..Did see Mitsuboshi have a 6PK580 but online points me to a distributor in Vietnam..i FB him and he will check for me..fingers crossed..i can use a 570, 575 0r 580..Only seen the 575 & 580 in 5 PK..got the Gates XF One as that is very strong..only sold in Europe..The XF range..XF means extra force..used b4 for my alt and AC belt and they are awesome...check them out in ur size.
Talk soon bro

Digg'n all the pics. Also digg'n all the custom aluminum pieces. One thing many might be interested in and not only for the FX but all the vq35de's and possibly the hr's would be aluminum tensioner pulley's. Oooooo. I just bought some new one's but would toss'em in a heartbeat if I found some aluminum joints.
Nice to see you have a mechanic or 2 that's reliable and worth a damn and hey, your bud better hook you up with a couple of those aluminum pans. You could get the shift kit in and the trans pan on all at the same time.:)
 
I had a friend in Taiwan that specially CNC'ed a lot of things... They made the plastic cases for cosmetics, and some of them have gotten REALLY fancy, so they'd have to CNC prototype casts... Some were 6 pieces with sliding components... Pretty fascinating what a little ingenuity can create!

And I wish I had access to those guys again... Lots of stuff I'd like to have them make and it's SO CHEAP compared to what you'd pay over here!
