It highlights one simple point:
The SE-R Spec V is a fine car.
However: Nissan bottelnecked it a bit.
We have 2 possible solutions, either in forced induction or through various
intake, cam and exhaust parts.
Personally I would like to do forced induction, as it is usually more
effective, and involves less concerns of voiding emissions regs, and using
horribly loud exhaust.
Course a turbo or blower DOES cost more usually..
We seem to be stuck waiting..
As apparently there are only about 9,000 SPEV V's, it is possible we may be
waiting a while..

With our best regards,
