you can always pick one up at the local best buy here in tampa. I would check their website and see it they have what you want. worst case you can ship it to my address and pick it up when you are here.

Getting pumped!

Been talking to bobby this weekend as they work on my car. Yesterday they finished the crash beam while I believe they oil cooler and front mount will attach to.

They designed and built 3 crash beams until they were satisfied with the safety aspect. I believe they are working on cold side piping today.

Here is also a link to a new thread Bobby has started!

S&R Performance Crash Beam

Glokwork 11-18-2012 04:38 PM

Gotta love roommates...**** hit the fan today. Very bad timing but I'm already packing my things and looking for a new place. All will be better after that first time I roll into boost!

SPOHN 11-18-2012 05:56 PM

Here's a rep then.

Glokwork 11-19-2012 04:07 PM

Well I may not have a place to live yet but dammit I've got a finished y-pipe!!

You can live in your car when you get it back. :tup:

Thriller 11-20-2012 11:26 AM

I'm really disappointed with how long it's taking for you to get your car back but hopefully it's just taking time to do it right the first time... Don't want any problems on a 13 hour drive!

Mr&Mrs 11-20-2012 03:12 PM

I think this will be the third 370z ST car S&R built that drove a long way home....

While that's not the first I've heard of that, it's not any less unsettling to think about the possibilities of everything that could go wrong... even regardless of the turbo install and build. That's a long drive in a car like that! lol

Glokwork 11-21-2012 09:07 PM

Almost there!

Looking good!

MIGHTYMOUSE 11-22-2012 03:41 AM

this is awesome wish i had the cash to do this same set up. thanks for the pipes glokwork they sound amazing with my top speed true dual exhaust :tup:

Mr&Mrs 11-22-2012 06:34 AM

Top mounts are hands down the most bad *** kits! It feels so good when that boost hits!

Glokwork 11-23-2012 09:34 PM

Thanks for the kind words fellas. This weekend everything should be off getting powder and ceramic coated. I'm really hoping monday that she will be on the dyno, but like everything else I'm sure there will be a delay.

No problem buddy! You should make a video and start a build journal :tiphat:

I wouldn't know.........but I will in 6 days :happydance:
I wonder how it compares to your GTM TT

Mr&Mrs 11-24-2012 10:02 AM

The GTM kit never hits hard at least at 7/8 lbs. of boost. The power is very flat, with single turbos they take a little longer to spool and then the power plants you in the seat. It is more of a fun feeling to me than TT's.

Glokwork 11-26-2012 04:01 PM

Ordered nismo s-tune sways from Z1 friday afternoon and they arrived today!

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...00713829_n.jpg

Now I just need a Z to put them on! Hoping she goes on the dyno tomorrow and picking up thursday :tup:

sfearl1 11-26-2012 04:16 PM

^^ I love mine

Nut_N_Much 11-26-2012 06:22 PM

Nice!!!

Glokwork 11-26-2012 07:29 PM

Thanks guys! :tup:

I am debating whether or not to cut the front bumper so the front mount can get more air. The fmic is huge and the opening on the bumper is minimal. I saw a pic a while ago of a 370 non-nismo with the bumper cut. Fangs were intact but the black upper "mustache" piece was cut out. Anybody else seen this or have a link to it?

sfearl1 11-26-2012 07:44 PM

Hmm I've seen that before. While its functional, I dislike the way it looks. I plan on removing the slats and cutting the two "duct" areas on the sides of the fangs when I boost mine.

Glokwork 11-26-2012 07:59 PM

:iagree: That's the plan I had originally, but I keep wondering about removing the mustache area. If I remember correctly it looked pretty good or it may have looked like *** :bowrofl: Oh well I'm going to keep looking

Wow man this thing is going to be a total beast, looking great.

Little off topic I have been meaning to ask you what did you use to attach the steel mesh to the bump/vented fenders?

Mr&Mrs 11-27-2012 03:52 AM

Im not sure how he done his, but I spent like an hour carefully bending each side with some overlap on the inner flat part. I then hot glued it to the inside. So far, so good!

Just got a phone call from Bobby on my way home. He was ecstatic and so happy with all the goodies he just picked up from the powder/ceramic coater. They are stay as late as they have to getting the car all back together and ready for the dyno and testing tomorrow. If Bobby has time he will create the official build thread with pics tonight or tomorrow :happydance:

Oh yeah Mr&Mrs you have a PM sir!

GaleForce 11-27-2012 03:52 PM

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to the results!
