In the April 2008 Option magazine titled Tuning Trends 2008 I was surprised to see that 4 of the cars in the 11 car spread were VQ35 power plant vehicles. Or of the 24 pages 11 pages were devoted to VQ35 powered Nissan cars.  With this V6 motor now over 10 years old there are plenty of big HP parts out there now from many Japanese makers for anyone to get in on the racing action. This is good news for people out there who don’t want to bother with motor swaps or grey market imports. Option magazine seems to think that the tuning trends for 2008 will be big Nissan V engine HP racing. It seems logical if you look at the new cars out there for tuning and drifting. The GT-R is too new and expensive to void the warranty on so soon. That and because of the type of technology employed on the GT-R there are some here in the tuning world questioning if the new GT-R will ever get the support that its older predecessors have gotten. Well, only time will tell I suppose but for now there seems to be a trend and Option seems to be doing just what they do best, reporting the JDM new as it happens! If so count me in on the Top Secret G37 Body Kit when I get my G37 Coupe!
