And the first drive:



I went with a single exhaust because I loved it so much on my 350z. I even went with the same brand, AAM. The exhaust fit pretty good aside from the section with the resonator in it. I actually cut that out and shortened it by around 4 inches since the exhaust was too long for the car lol.







I used that adaptor for my oil temp probe. It works pretty well. I put it on the line just before entering the oil cooler.

After that I set my tune up with Jon at Z1, and me and a friend went to get tuned. I don't remember my numbers unfortunately. I want to say I was just shy of 500hp. The car drove great, and sounded awesome! I would suggest the BP kit to anyone looking for FI.







I drove the car like I stole it. I had my CMC crap out on me like a week before ZDayZ. Got that fixed. Went to ZDayZ and beat the crap out of the car. Beat the crap out of the car for a good while. Loved every second of it. The power it made was awesome. The car feels like its a rocket ship to me lol.

Just noticed your contraption for the oil temp probe. If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing then you put a threaded NPT fitting into the AN hose fitting, followed by a collar nut and then inserted the probe into that. I assume that was to make up the length difference in the probe compared to the oil line fitting.

If so, that's brilliant!!! How did it work out for you? I tried something much more complicated and am not happy with the out come. My next step was to tap the oil pan spacer but if this worked for you it's much easier than pulling the pan.

Yep that's exactly what I did lol. I ordered the AN fitting from a local shop with a 1/8 NPT thread (I think). Then I went to Home Depot and pieced the rest together. It works pretty good. There is a little lag in the reading because the probe is somewhat recessed and not fully immersed in the oil current. But it has worked pretty well for me.

Awesome!

I order that AN fitting off summit racing but didn't use it because of the depth of the probe. I'm going to try your setup before I pull the pan

Awesome! I originally ordered a small spacer but it still wasn't long enough. So I went to Home Depot with my probe and messed around with some of their fittings and made it work.
