    That's correct... The earlier engines were actually designed by Renault for Nissan (Nissan 350Z/Infinity G35). These new "VHR" engines in the 370Z/G37 are Nissan's first attempt at making the engine in house. They are really good powerplants. Love the sound. The earlier ones (from Renault) sounded like someone was raping a cat past 4000rpms. lol

    I must be thinking of a different car. I'm not as up to speed (haha) on all these modern cars as everyone else is. I'm still stuck in the early 2000s, like my POS Mazda is!

    Thank you sir! If you want to avoid tire shine sling, you have to wipe it down with a cloth or rag after application of the tire shine. The owner of this car report tire sling when he got home. He drove 70 miles all freeway though.

    Nice one, thanks SuburbanGuy

    It would go pretty well based on those figures..

    What engine is in those Infiniti's? I don't know much about them, other than they sure look the part!

    also, you probably didnt notice the swirls because of the previous wax.polish that was on the car before the claying? all the fillers probably were wiped out after the clay..

    lastly, why is your tape job on the hoood and by the rear part of teh front fender?
    Thanks. I agree. I think that the dealer used a great glaze to cover up all the swirls.

    The tape was placed on the edges of all the clear bra. There was also clear bra applied behind the fenders.

    Thank you! The engine I think is a 3.7L V6. I think the engine code is VQ. They sound amazing especially when being able to control the revs with a MT.

    Thanks man!! I wish I could do that to make some money. I'm glad people think that the pictures came out good. I was a bit skeptical myself lol!

    Thanks a lot man! I was blown away myself when I saw the reflections after wiping off the carnauba wax. It was definitely dripping wet.
