March 12th delivery for me, I pick mine up today. It took that long, also. (3.5 months.)

There is NO set 'rule', as you would know. If this is a familiar build, they will do it much quicker. The guys here never worked inside one of these VQ engines, and assure me it is VERY complicated and tedious. That takes time.

Question: What are your guys doing about the 'mandatory' cam controller replacements? We bought new.

we ordered new vvel controllers. and yes i think i maybe there first 370z motor rebuild. they told me it told 4weeks alone for nissan to send them new bearings. i dropped by the shop tuesday and talked to them the motor and blower are back in the car they are tracking down a little electrical problem and want to put about 100miles on the car before they let me do the breakin
i dont feel so bad now about it

once this is done i will try and enjoy the summer with the car
we did talk about modifing the stillen kit and changing it to a blower throught set-up and moving the iat sensor closer or after the intercooler on the intake manifold this should help in tuning and give more room with the maf sensor
