GTM TT KIT on Canadian 370Z (IC question)

Legz

To be honest I've received multiple calls from Tunerworks updating me on the progress, but none that involves piping modifications... Now you've mentioned it, it's getting me worried, as they could of just contacted GTM for help/replacement...

They had the car for almost 2.5 weeks now, here's what they told me of the delay:

-Oil cooler adapter needs to be replaced, it was machined poorly (It's not a GTM kit), so not their fault, I'm getting the adapter replaced as we speak.
-Fuel pump not fitting correctly, needs some sort of bracket replacement? Tunerworks stated they have contacted GTM for a replacement part, Sam if you can verify this?
-They needed to order some small parts from Nissan.

Going to give Casey@Tunerworks a call today to see what's up...

Folks

I went to Tunerworks this morning so I could meet the mechanic himself, rather than just going through the shop manager. Admittedly, I just should have done this in the first place. The mechanic told me that he didnt have to do any modification to the tubing of the intercooler as it all fit fine regardless of it being a CDN car, albeit was pretty tight he said. Therefore, I'm not sure why the shop manager made up a story about the tubing being outsourced to have some aluminum welding modifications done...

All the mechancis I met at Tunerworks today gave me a really good impression of their skills and I realized that they're keen on making sure their customer's installs are perfect in the end. For example, I looked at LEGZ G37 this morning, and the install looked absolutely terrific. It was very clean and tidy. The mechanic wasn't afraid to point out some minor fitment issues that he will have fixed by the time the car is done, which demonstrates he is honest and a perfectionist.

Without me having to ask, the mechanics explained how great the GTM kit quality is. They said all the components we're top tier. They do a lot of high end bolt on kit installs on cars like Audi, BMW, Porsche and they said that this kit blew away most of them. I know its beaten to death on this forum how great GTM's kits are, but I'll give Sam a big thumbs up anyway

This was a long winded reply, and to sum it all up I'm more comfortable now that I have met the people who are personally installing my kit. That's important to me, especially since I'm shelling out ~$4,000 to them

Thanks guys

We did get a phone call in regards to the fuel pump bracket. Sometime during the early production years of the G37, Infiniti switched from the early style fuel pump used in previous years to the new style fuel pump that is also used in the 370Z. We sent the appropriate parts for the earlier car in your kit. Once Tunerworks had it apart though, it was clear that you actually had the later style pump that requires different brackets and fittings. Once we confirmed with them that you had the later style pump, we sent them the bracket and fittings right away and that is the last we heard from them.

Also, 2.5 weeks for such a big job is not unrealistic since the motor, transmission, transfer case, front differential and most of the front suspension has to come out on the AWD car to fit the twin turbo kit.
