UPDATE:

Good new and bad news.

The good news is, the car has been flawless. I have over 18,000 miles since the turbos were installed, by me, and I have yet to be very nice to the car at all. I have managed to kill the brand new 305 30 19 Toyo R888s in one season of street driving. In this 18,000+ miles of boost, the car has not been serviced once. Forget my last post above, the front brakes are totally shot now, just in time for winter storage. Everything has checked out perfect. Nothing has worn out or failed.

The bad news, I think I am ready to move on to a new platform. I have had a GTR in my possession for a couple months that was borrowed to me from a friend/customer who was giving me an opportunity to design some products for it. It was already a deep 10 second car on its arrival here, and it has a built trans (shep stage 2 IIRC), and he has allowed me to get more than my fair share of wheel time in the car doing datalogs for him before he picks it up tonight. I think that I officially have the GTR bug, and need to start preparing my situation to make that step. The car is a little out of my league price wise, but I think that I can make it happen if I use this winter to just relax and not blow money on stupid xxxx.

I am going to write another post which is going to list what it is about the twin turbo 370z experience I have enjoyed, and what about it has driven me up the wall (not much).
