IPL 370gt's build thread

I purchased my IPL last year in August. It was a birthday gift to myself I traded in my second 350z for this beautiful G. After catching grief from numerous locals... The typical "you should've bought" and "why didn't you get the e92". I explained I wanted to stay in the Nissan Family, and Godzilla was more than I wanted to spend (at that time). With delivery of my IPL, I wasted little time getting to work. I quickly started a build list consisting of the finest JDM products available.

After owning this car just short of a year. My goals have changed... Now I want big power!

Most of you have seen my previous threads... Wheels, coilovers, exhaust, intake and titanium goodies. My car will start its FI transformation in the next few weeks. I plan on updating this thread with the progress, shop pictures and build info. I'm currently covering all preventative maintenance services, and addressing any issues before the big install. I strongly believe in doing things right the first time. No corners will be cut during this build

Going forward I will update this thread with changes & new mods.

BIG props to doing things the best way possible and unique. Unfortunately we have lost some quality builds over the last year to other car makers and its awesome to see someone else step in with such high end parts.

Definitely in for all your progress!

With all your mods and new mods coming along it probably would come close to the price of a godzilla. If you had an option would you go back and get godzilla or stay with the IPL+all the mods?

Looks like it's been christmas for you everyday lately with all those parts coming in. Lucky you, I love when UPS/Fedex comes for me

Are you doing the install your self or a shop?

Lots of JDM goodness in this build.

Jon's got one of the best builds around.

Hopefully I get to see this in person one day.
