My Buddy is going to come over and help me out on the weekend to get me started and provide direction if I have any questions and after work he is going to shoot over. As for getting old I don't think thats the problem with not being able to stick lol. I think others between this forum and my350z were having this issue also with all stock. I don't know maybe I made that up lol. The last concern I have is just my warranty. I understand that I pretty much tossed that out the window on the engine and drive train, just if my headlights don't work I don't want the dealership to be like Ohh yea they don't work because of the TT kit you installed so warranty wont cover it lol.

PS fuz since I seen you reply on this, off topic I am in the market for a altima coupe new(hint hint). I spent my money to play now she want to play also, can't blame her lol
I think you're ok there. *haha* Magnusson-Moss Act keeps vehicle manufacturers honest in that regard.

I would certainly go with an electronic boost controller of some sort. Especially with the internal wastegates. Great insurance to have. I went with the HKC EVC 6 and mounted it where the dummy switch cover was in front of the cup holder. I have zero switches there since the NISMO comes stripped and not equiped from Nissan. *haha*

If it was my car, I'd skip the pillar gauges because I think they add a hint of "rice" to what is a phenomenal, beautiful car that doesn't announce it's been tuned until it's GONE!

Hmmm... new patio and hot tub or GTM TT?
I actually thought of doing this. But, again, my build was budget conscious and I didn't want to go through the extra expenditure of custom work placing the new gauges. The most obvious place would have been in the dash as OEM gauge replacements, but I prefer the OEM gauges are left untouched. A custom console/cubby placement could have been an option, but I use my cubby as the Z has otherwise no storage - and, again, I didn't want to get into custom costs. The cups are much less obtrusive than an A-Pillar pod, so the gauges are cleaner and less noticeable. Even from outside of the car.
