Ron,

I feel like I am cheating on the intake/exhaust side of the house by being over here! I feel lost! Ha ha just joking!

I just wanted to chime in on your thread and tell you I am glad that you are getting the: FI 3" TDX CBE #001!

It is coming to you real soon, I promise...

Thanks, Tony :icon17:

Ron 03-02-2012 07:29 PM

The man himself. You'd be surprised what else is on the "other" side of the forum lol. Thanks Tony, can't wait!

Wanna post a teaser pic? pleeeeease!

No teaser pics! Just picture your 2.5" version and imagine it in 3"! Ha ha... :tiphat:

The exhaust is the just the tip of the ice berg. Wait until you see the "Twin Turbo" teaser pics (hopefully) early next month!

Thanks, Tony

Talked to Mike@GTM. They expect to get the turbos at the end of this week or beginnings of the next.

roplusbee 03-06-2012 04:25 PM

Uh Oh! Ron is plotting!

roplusbee 03-12-2012 09:23 PM

No updates Ron? I was sure that you would have your build pretty much finished and rolling before I get back!

Ron 03-12-2012 10:38 PM

Still waiting on GTM to send me the turbos.. Last I heard they are still waiting on their supplier :shakes head:

roplusbee 03-12-2012 10:41 PM

Hmmm. Hopefully you get your stuff done soon. I am still waiting on the catback and there is an issue with the Competition Clutch application. I may just have them get the OS Giken and call it a day!

Ron 03-13-2012 04:48 PM

Aaargh!! Talked to Mike and their supplier (ATP) has no GTXs in stock. GTM is being told that they should get them "anytime now" and are not giving them a more accurate ETA. Fingers crossed! I want this thing done before Nismo Fiesta!

roplusbee 03-13-2012 04:59 PM

Damn Ron.........you're killing me! On of us has to go to the meets and since I'm not even in the country, that means you're it!

Ron 03-16-2012 08:03 AM

So I called ATP as a "new customer" to try and get a better ETA and failed lol. All I got was that they'll be in anytime now before the end of the month. Nismo Fiesta is not looking good, at this rate car won't be out of the shop in time.

Damn... :(

Ron 03-16-2012 09:35 AM

I know.. got reservations for it and everything.. I can't delay the install and do it after cuz that wont give me enough time to get it ready for ZdayZ. ZdayZ > Nismo Fiesta.

I have reservations and everything too and my Z (knock on wood) is on schedule. Only thing holding me back is the Iraq Visa issue. :shakes head:

Ron 03-19-2012 08:55 PM

Good news and bad news. Good news is Tony said he should be shipping my exhaust next week, and ATP will receive their stock this weds and ship the turbos to GTM, then they'll ship to me. :)

Bad news, my "key" light went on this afternoon and I am afraid the steering lock sh1t is gonna take a crap. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

Robert_K 03-19-2012 10:26 PM

Welcome to the world of a highly modified vehichle ownership. Good luck!!!

Ron 03-23-2012 12:24 PM

GTM got the turbos yesterday, reinstalled my exh housing, clocked them and shipped them the same day. Thank you Mike!

Car goes to Baker on Wednesday. Tony said my exhaust should be shipping next week. Things are looking good again. :happydance:

roplusbee 03-23-2012 02:11 PM

Woohoo! Maybe just a battery for your key FOB? Put it in the key port and see if it goes away. That happened to me before. Had my spare FOB in my backpack and something had one of the buttons depressed, which ran down the battery.

Ron 03-23-2012 02:13 PM

Nope, already swapped batteries on both remotes and had keys reprogrammed. Light went out and came back after a couple of miles. They'll take a look at it once it goes in.

I figured that you had tried it, but I just wanted to be sure. Hopefully, it isn't you lock. You're making me nervous dude!

JB-370z 03-23-2012 09:32 PM

You made a good decision taking it to Baker. 20k miles on my turbos, not a problem. They have done allot of GTM installs.

Robert_K 03-29-2012 12:28 AM

I stopped by Baker today but never made it to the back.

Ron 03-31-2012 05:36 PM

They prob wont start on it till monday or tuesday. I had an issue with the intelligent key that was being looked at this last couple of days. Also, transmission is getting replaced, I think it arrived yesterday.
