Message	There are other endings to the saying than "you can't afford it" My point is this rotating assembly is amazing and I would love to install one. But the price is high enough to make you consider other engines entirely (Nissan or otherwise) to reach whatever goal the stock crank isn't capable of supporting. You would buy it only because you love the VG so much you don't care there are more common engines out there with similar cranks in them for a lot less than a VG built to the same level of performance.
