Everything is good I haven't been able to drive it much since I got back from Tampa because of the weather.

Hahaha it's gonna be 42 here tomorrow and I'm gonna drive it into work! Partly cloudy no fear.

ANMVQ 02-23-2015 12:16 PM

Yea try here has been like 5 degrees, and yesterday was 42 now back to 20 and tomorrow will be neg!

MidnightBlueZ 02-23-2015 12:23 PM

Yeah you northern guys have it rough.. I'm just looking forward to being out of the 20s and lower

phunk 02-23-2015 03:04 PM

Havent even sat in a nice car since last year and its looking like it will be at least a month before its maybe even an option.

Mitco39 02-23-2015 03:06 PM

I hear you guys been getting chilly down that way. Heck I think for a few days it was warmer up where I am than way down south.

zguynate 02-23-2015 03:58 PM

Midnight, you ever come to Memphis?

Rusty 02-23-2015 06:49 PM

Checked my motorhome yesterday. The 4, 6v deep cycle house batteries are frozen solid and split the cases. :facepalm: That's $130 each. :shakes head:

Yeah man I wouldn't doubt it. Been a brutal February for sure!

Not really, sometimes for work.. Wouldn't mind catching a Grizz game though. Beal street is always fun.

Ouch.. Hope that's not a common occurrence.

Rusty 02-24-2015 02:35 AM

No, it's not. :shakes head: The motorhome was at the dealer in Canton Oh. since Oct getting a few things fixed. Brought it home on Friday. The batteries drained down to nothing sitting there not plugged in. :shakes head: Fully charged batteries don't freeze, drained batteries do. Avg temp here has been about zero since mid Jan.:shakes head:

MidnightBlueZ 02-24-2015 06:48 AM

Well if it isn't one thing it's another.. Sorry for your luck. Just thinking of that temp makes me cringe.

I drove the Z in today and she's running great. Likes the cold air more than I do I think.. Ha. I'm ready for some more favorable driving conditions with this new found power! :driving:

Next time you head this way you should hit me up. We can get a few Z guys together and hang. Id like to see this setup in person.

Alright sounds good!

Isamu 03-10-2015 07:20 PM

I'd take a shot in the mouth for a built motor.. I want more boost!

Paying for one is about like taking a shot in the mouth if not worse.. But the reward is pretty sweet!

KratikosG37 03-17-2015 10:05 AM

Car looks like it pulls hard in the video. Gratz on the build makes me want to do built block as well.:)

Thanks! It definitely does it's very violent. I'm working on making her hook up better. Hope to have some more video to show soon.

my 40 roll to 110 is insane.. I can do it between turn arounds here in ND.. but the low 50° temps help a ton..

but I am in the same boat, I am looking at 12" wide wheels for the rear with 11's up front

MidnightBlueZ 03-18-2015 11:15 PM

I can't seem to find the space to let her loose although with my traction issue that's probably not a bad thing at the moment. I know that even with a little space in traffic when the hammer goes down the gap is closed so fast you almost need a full mile ahead of you.

At 8 psi tune mine pulls pretty good. Gives those Z06 owners :eek2:

If I can get 2/3rd to hook with a built 600whp set it would a great investment :tup:

That's the tricky part lol. If you can do it I'd say invest in a fuel system with Charles at CJM and go E85 shoot for 600 on the stock block and save some money.

I suppose race gas would also do the trick but that's $$$

Hear ya. Just figured if I have to drive to GA to get a decent tune might as well make it one and only trip.


Finding a VQ that's already built that's for sale and done by the right people is even harder, but thats the less costly way to go.

MidnightBlueZ 03-21-2015 09:02 AM

Isn't Houston closer to you? I thought JTran was in Houston..

I don't recall ever seeing anyone selling their built engine here and even then unless it was a fresh build I'd be weary.

Just wanted to post an update to my Nissan Dealer disaster......After 4 months of them F'in with my ride and a threat of an attorney, I have my car back and it's running great. They forgot to tighten one of the turbo pipes but I had Kirk at Boost Labs give it a once over. The kit from S&R is simply amazing and I am constantly blown away by it's performance, as is most others on the road... :)

Glad to hear another boosted brotha is back on the road!

MidnightBlueZ 04-12-2015 11:15 AM

Just a little taste of a shoot I did with some friends yesterday.

Btw car is doing awesome! Changing oils out soon and doing a Blackstone analysis just cause.

jwick 04-12-2015 11:31 AM

I send every oil change to blackstone now that I'm boosted. Always good to know what your motor is doing on the inside. :tup:

MidnightBlueZ 04-12-2015 11:59 AM

What kind of oils are you guys using? I'm going with good ole Motul fluids.

jwick 04-12-2015 12:35 PM

Rotella is all I'd run in a boosted motor

COSMO 04-12-2015 01:16 PM

Motul here 5-40 and almost 4k miles on built motor..

FireDan50 04-12-2015 05:17 PM

I've been using this combo for over a year.

Isamu 04-12-2015 09:49 PM

honestly I use the GTR ester oil... i mean.. let's be frank.. its good in the GTR.. its good in my boosted NISMO

jaytirbhaw 04-14-2015 01:16 PM

any of you guys been in touch with bobby? Apparently he doesn't work @Vortex/VSR anymore.

COSMO 04-14-2015 01:20 PM

Hate to say but I heard that myself...

Got in touch with the GM over @vortex , the other Bob. Really nice guy, guess he's managing the builds now. My car is still there being worked on, I saw two other nismos that recently got completed on instagram, those belong to anyone on here?
