Ron's better late than never TT build thread

[JB-370z]

I have 22,000 miles on my Baker/GTM TT build, and not one issue. Jason took his time installing mine, and I have nothing but good things to say. My stock clutch is just now going out but I don't think that is anyone's fault there. I have a street tune done by Sam and could not be happier. My tune works now, and the first time I ran the car. I am glad some of us are keeping it classy.

Quick question: How many GTM GTX builds are there ???

[Ron]

Just one

[Dark Sarcasm]

i want TT sooooo bad. Wife would quit me though. Oh well, maybe in a few years.

Good stuff Ron

Quick update as promised.

Car was throwing a couple of codes:

P0106 and P006A: MAP sensor codes bc we did not disabled them on the tune we loaded. I went into limp mode once because of this which scared the sh1t out of me. The car made some weird chattering noises while in this mode when I got on the throttle, I cleared the code, restarted the car and the engine was back to being super smooth. I stayed out of boost until the codes were disabled under DTC in uprev.

P0420 and 430: Catalyst system error, again we disabled these on uprev since I no longer have cats.

P0300: random/multiple cylinder misfire. Still not sure on what caused this, FSM says check spark plugs, coils, injectors etc. Johnny made a couple of adjustments to my fuel table and I have not gotten the code since, we'll see.

The only problem I am having now is a clicking noise under the dash near the accel pedal when I'm above 2500rpm, the higher the rpms the faster the clicking.. I found this TSB that describes my issue exactly, but I am not sure if this is indeed what is going on:

Tsb: 2007-2009 nissan z; tapping noise from dash area when engine is running

I actually had the same noise that drove me crazy. Ended up being my waste gate recirc pipe tapping on the firewall. Might be something to check.

^^^^I had the same issue. My driver's side waste gate pipe coming off te manifold was tapping the firewall. It took a little messing with, but it is gone now. Also of note, be careful parking in heavy rain. Somehow water managed to funnel its way into my passenger side filter and filled up my charge pipes!

That heater core problem sounds like something Jason could fix for ya. And it might be due to the draining of the radiator and such. Sounds like a quick easy fix though.

[Ron]

Yeap, already talked to him, he offered to look at it today but I have to work. I will take it Tuesday.

Thanks mister, good luck with the move!

[Ron]

Yeap, I know what you guys are talking about, had the same issue with the same pipe, we fixed it . Elliot, I saw your thread about water on the IC, that's no bueno!

Also, were you able to get this bolt on? If so how? It's the passenger side downpipe where it bolts to the exhaust housing of the turbo, because of the angle of the downpipe the stud hits it at an angle that does not allow it to go in, you can see the marks were it hits the pipe.

[Greedy]

Mine is not that tight for some reason. Could be that I am running a smaller hot side or a difference with the design for the G...

[Ron]

I was thinking about just banging the pipe a little to get the stud to slide in.

[elliotty]

Ron, I was able to get that on, but not easily. I put that stud in before the downpipe was on. Then, I ground down the rim of the nut so it would fit (mine was hitting the downpipe and wouldn't line up with the hole). When you put the downpipe back on, put that nut on first and tighten it down before putting the others on. This way you can move the pipe around to get the nut lines up. Hope you can get it lined up!
