The only thing coming from Japan was the bumper which wasnt order but a few days b4 the first of June. The car was not waiting on wheels from gtm as I picked them up on my own thru ravspec. We are running into issues in keeping the car cool and having to rearrange oil coolers etc for optimum air flow. It has only been waiting on aero for 6 weeks. No one said the motor has taken 8 mos to build just since the engine build it has been 8 mos and i still dont have my car .The actual motor build didnt start until the end of dec and the rest of the time from what I am told has been to try and get the temp down on the motor do to the extreme heat from where I live. I am apparently the first person who wants to drive there car in the desert with this magnitude of a build  I appreciate the fact that GTM didn not throw the car together and just send it to me only for me to have problems when it gets hot. I respect that but it is also frustrating with the amount of time not to mention money I have I to what should have just been a GTR. I was never complaining just agreeing and laughing about the original 30 day time frame when ss firehawk pointed it out the other day. I hope that clears some of this up.
