if you had a sizable budget to build up a VG for turbo, say 7 grand, what internals would you install? you mentioned nismo cams >>> great, but what kind? there must be different grinds of those. and you mentioned JIC pistons. again, there must be variants of those that could be used. could you be more specific? for example, one thing i do know is to avoid the Centerforce clutch. i understand Exedy is superior.
About the clutch: I had no problems with my ACT, until my tranny blew (again) and it was ruined. I've never used Centerforce, but it isn't really popular with the Nissan crowd right now. I have an Exedy Pro Stage 1 on the way now... I guess in two weeks or so I can tell you what I think of that. I know that other Maxima owners have belted praise for it... we'll see.

The other stuff: well if you were using the JDM VG30ET like we were, you could use the cams from that engine and get the same results. 300ZX cams work, and are cheaper. If you want Nismo cams, they cost a lot. I forget how much, but they are hard to find stateside and are a fortune. I'm pretty sure the Nismo cams only come in one spec, but I could be wrong. More research on that...
