I upgraded because I have the intentions of going for well over 700 whp and th Southbend wouldn't have been able to handle that power level . I like the OS Giken triple disc way better than my Southbend becausebit puts the power down much better and I can shift a lot quiker with it to . Now as far as daily driving th Southbend is easier to drive the OS Giken is more on off like a light switch takes some getting use to . I ended up getting the RJM clutch peddle assembly this help a lot with engagement.

Ok this is fcked up if anything I hate poor craftsmen ship
So my shop looks over the car and find a host of problems
And they don't want to tune the car til it's fixed

Problems they found :

One of the o2 sensors not connected
Fuel line way to close to the down pipe
Passenger side brake line partly melted from touching the down pipe
Exhaust leaks at the turbo down pipe and manifold going to the turbo
Oil and power steering leaks were Teflon tape was used
As well as my bumper not completely on do to the fact almost all my clips were not put back on

I did notice that the bumper was not all the way in but I was thinking it was because of them taking it off the trailer but I am missing a sht load of claps

So frank is looking at the car as being unsafe until I fix at least some of the problems
When I fist got the car back I did smell some thing burning but I was thinking it must be the exhaust wrap did not think it was my brake line

He thinks I should have the car send back to them and have them fix the problem at no cost to me

But I don't want to have to call them back and ship my car and bah bah bah
So now I am once again stuck with paying to have stuff fixed I just love the way stuff never works out

Wow.... I am sorry for what is going on and hope they fix everything at no cost. In fact they should pay for the shipment of the vehicle.

I am guessing VSR screwed all that up?

Man this really sucks that they screwed up your car like this. I agree with the way your thinking about sending your car all the way back to Florida for them to fix I wouldn't want to do that either. I really hope everything works out for you this really blows.

Dzel 10-11-2013 05:33 AM

Wow just blows my mind I would contact them and if they do not want to pay for the shipment and repairs off the car see if they'll pick up the bill for getting it fixed at a shop of your choice. I would take many pictures and send it in an e-mail so they can see that you have documented the shotty workmanship and you mean business about getting it fixed.

Sucks to hear about your problems. I know what you're talking about though because I have the kit also and know how everything is placed. My install only had a couple small issues; nowhere near your level. My issues weren't "problems" more of me being OCD and wanting things routed/placed a different way; either for aesthetics or function for my set up. I say call Bobby and try and work things out and maybe post some pics up?

Sounds like they pulled a FP....

They need to pick up the tab to have it fixed by someone local.

Sorry to hear about issues you are having. I will stand behind our work and have no problem paying the bill.
The rear O2 sensors are left unplug.
The fuel line is very close to the down pipe and will never have a issue. Many of our customers have driven there cars from our shop back home 1000's miles away with zero issues.
The Turbo sits on V-bands, you should be ok by re torque them in place.
Front Bumper was only held on by a few snaps and I only assumed it was going back to that shop so they finish up what they started.

The brake line has to pulled back. You will have to go through the fender well to pull line back.

If you want to send the car back I will pay for transport.
I never heard from you about any of this so, I had to find out online you have a issue.

Anyways give me call
Thanks
Bobby

Wow ... Sounds like a Forged Performance install .. U sure u did not drop your car off there ??

Nissan370 10-15-2013 05:21 AM

Thxs bobby I will talk to you
Sorry should have called you first

Dzel 10-15-2013 08:19 AM

Yeah you should of called him first before everyone started bashing him and his company on here or if bashing is a strong word making a false idealism of his company. (I think I spelt that right)
