Fi - diy

In amidst of the latest DRAMA between Forged and GTM and a couple of dissatisfied consumers some very good points were raised out of all of this.

NOTE! This thread will not be about this subject but rather one major point that I think will be very applicable for this forum.

There are many of us including myself who want to install their own FI system on our new 370Z/G37s ourselves. I am not an auto mechanic by trade however I am pretty skilled with a set of automotive tools and very good understanding of what I am doing.

I would really like to see more posts like “modme” did where he did a GTM TT install on his own and did a great job covering the install and the sticky parts of the job. This to me is what this forum should be about. I also want to personally thank "Modme" for this information. This information is not only interesting to us all but it gives us more courage to step out there a bit and do-it-ourselves. Auto Mechanics is not rockets science (no offense to anyone in that field) but its not that hard if you have a good set of tools and all the information you need, anything is possible. I have respect for "modme" to have the balls to install a TT kit himself while keeping the engine in the car.

I have no interest in shipping my car in either direction of the US to take even the slightest chance of having my car butchered. If I install it and I mess up then I only have myself to be pissed at. But sharing information is what these forums are about and when I install the FI kit I choose to run with I will do the same as “Modme” and share not only the difficult moments but some of the highlights.

I feel installing the system yourself will not only save you money but it’s a learning process and you will be able to resolve most of your own problems since you install it yourself it gives you that intimate knowledge that would be otherwise lost by having a shop do the work.
