Mine will be factor FI, Been looking at the 09+ C63 Sedan, S4 Sedan, or maybe the EAU Rouge( Q50) in a few years lots can change .

On topic its really not reassuring that they installed a motor with out looking at everything first?

They didn't install the engine, COSMO did. VSR just shipped him the 'completed' longblock

A car that is Already Turbocharged. For me I'm referring to a gtr.. Waiting to hear from the transport anytime now but I'm thinking it will be tomorrow sometime before it is picked up.. The rear main seal on the 370z is a bit different than the 350z so the upper and lower oil pan should not have to be removed.. Will post up a pic..

so wait. the rear main was never installed in the rebuild!?

also the rear main does not come pre installed. front main maybe? the rear is a compression seal inserted after the main girdle and the short block halves are put together

wow, yeah they most likely didn't include it because it doesnt come in the nissan engine gasket kit, but they still should have or at least told you that was missing. I can imagine if you've never seen a rear main seal you wouldn't even know it was missing.

COSMO · 08-19-2014, 04:05 PM

Still no word from the transport company.. The saga continues...

i changed mine right be for i started my turbo build I just dropped the tranny and put the new one in with a socket and hammer...took about 2 hours for the job thats tranny out and back in....good luck hope everthing works out

Damn sorry to hear your troubles Cosmo. Kinda sucks to read VSR has another 2 complaints in this thread. Was considering getting a tune from them.

COSMO · 08-19-2014, 05:52 PM

I learned when it rains it pours but I'm going to give vsr a chance to correct this and get me up and running.. Being self employed it actually cost me to take time and days at a time to work on my car...

COSMO · 08-20-2014, 08:03 PM

Vsr is going to have the car picked up this sat morning and they are supposed to install a rear main seal and break in the new motor they built, install the 1000cc injectors then tune it. Trust me people I'm very very skeptical but from this point on their @ss is on the line... Stay tuned..

Good luck cosmo

After this. I wouldn't blame you for wanting to chew on the end of a gun barrel.

But please don't!

COSMO · 08-20-2014, 09:31 PM
