Aeromotive cost about the same as a nismo one and is a MUCH better unit.

Either way if your running stock 3bar fp then just use a stock fpr if you need to run higher then 3bar then get a aeromotive and you wont regret it.

how does the areo cost the same as a nismo? you need to buy almost $100 of extra fittings to get it to work with the stock rail. most people that have issues with the nismo units over tighten the screw and cause the head of the FPR to spin and have a massive leak. if you don't go gorilla on it you will be fine.

You need one piece that goes on the end of the rail which cost 40 and thats it.

You do know that you can use barbed fittings on a aeromotive, it doesn't have to be an fittings although I would use an fittings

Also I have never overtighten my nismo and have had 3 fail! I personally think they SUCK and would never buy one again. Like I said if you are not running 4bar fp (not recommended) the stick with stock, it will work fine!

I do like the way the A.n fittings spice up the engine bay as well as they are more secure. So you have had 3 units fail on you huh... wow. You should have done a product review to stop people like me from buying faulty items like this. Don't know how long this problem has been going on but I just heard about this through the cracks.

Thats not so bad because I had to buy the fittings kit from go fast depot+the auto meter gauge which pritty much would even that out if not end up being more money anyhow.
