:yum:

I'm still trying to get a clear date for when I can expect to receive the seats. I also gave then a couple options for compensation. It's my guess they will want to give me a full refund and walk away from this fiasco.

Seats are supposed to ship from the manufacturer Tuesday, the US distributor should receive them that Friday assuming everything goes right.

They are ignoring my requests for compensation.

you have a link to these seats, don't feel like scrolling through your 107 pg thread trying to find the details!

On another note, #fukthem and good luck!

I haven't posted them yet. I'll message you.

I think I should get a custom one that says I got the baddest G37 in H-town

I just can't figure out how Recaro could screw up so royally when they make so many seats for people all the time...

Gale, did you ever get the GReddy Thermostat installed? What was the outcome of the small gap on the AN fitting?

I'm still chasing a leak between the AN fitting and the plate. Really starting to get frustrating.

:shakes head:

My Z is covered in dust. I have no time for my own projects yet. Soon I hope. I need to jack the car up, rework oil system, and I'm fiddling around with making a rear diffuser...

Can you get a -10an connector to -8an hose fitting? That way you can use the connectors that Greddy supplies.

You can get a -10AN to -8AN adapter. The problem is twofold; one, you are already cramped for space down there and two, Sasha replaced the fittings for me and did not send the ones that originally came with the GReddy.

If I can't find a solution I might be dealing with an oil leak until I get the V1.5 kit from Sasha.

I'll have to go through your journal and look at your set up again.

What sucks is the amount I spent on fittings and Greddy adaptor would have paid for the 1.5 upgrade. :shakes head:

Make it easy on you. As you can see you don't have a lot of room towards the engine. I don't think you could get the -10AN/-8AN adapter in there and still get the fittings on.

Where exactly is your leak?

The two fittings that are closest to the engine are the feed and return to the block. The two in the forefront go to the oil cooler. I'm leaking from the left oil cooler fitting. The leak is actually between the plate and the AN fitting, not in the swivel fittings.

Are you using teflon tape, pipe dope, or ???

I actually haven't removed the fitting since I received it. I'm waiting to hear back from Sasha on exactly what he did to swap those fittings and if I should go back with teflon or not.

Really getting kind of frustrating that I managed to install an entire turbo kit and all the electrical and the only thing that seems to be wrong is oil leaks that we did nothing to cause.

I had a leaky fitting on the original filter relocator. The fitting had teflon tape installed on it when I received it. I ended up removing the fitting and redoing the teflon tape then everything was a-ok.

Might try that at the next oil change. Now that I think of it there probably isn't a lot of oil in that line anyway

Version 3 of the seats have left Germany, they should be in the hands of the US distributor by Friday. I was told if the order was right, I should have the seats next week. :ugh2:

Good luck this round:rock:

If they screw this up I'm getting a full refund and buying a lift. I'm fed up with these seats.

I am not sure I would have the patience you do Galeforce. Sad to hear you got such a run around. Hope the seats are beyond your expectations.

I vote for the lift. Chuck's is awesome

Got the link to those seats on FB.... legit man.

Post pics when you get them!

sent from my Note 3

Thanks :tiphat:

I understand stuff happens. They are trying to make it right, its just taking forever.

I could careless about the seats now. :ugh2:

If the lift arms wouldn't fit under his car with the TS side skirts, it definitely won't fit under mine. I am looking at a 4 post... I just wish my ceiling height was better. I'm also looking at property so we can build another house and a proper shop....

I need a proper shop as well. My car barely fits in the garage with the doors open.

Four post is nice but you have to upgrade for the two scissor jacks so you can also work with the wheels off. Cost starts to add up

I was looking at a scissor. Best with the limited space I have, smallest footprint

How about something like this:

BendPak RJ-45 4,500 Lb. Capacity, Sliding Bridge Jack | JMCAutomotiveEquipment.com

This is what I was referring to. I guess the technical term is bridge jack. You would need one of these to allow you to pull the tires while on the lift.

That's sweet. Unfortunately that wouldn't work for me as the frame rail is not the lowest point on the car.

$5k all in. 4 post, dual scissor lifts, delivered and set up. :tup:

Do it...We really need to add a smilie that is the dude pushing another guy off the cliff

My only requirement for our next house is to have a really big shed in the back yard with a lift where I can work on cars separate from the garage. I'll be interested to see what you end up with :)

Zdayz 2014!!

Been there, doing that .. SWMBO wants a new house, so designed a 330 sq.m dwelling and 10m by 24m shed !!!

2-post, 4-tonne hoist and low-rise scissor lift plus bench-space, racking, space to park trailer and tow car ... well worth doing ......................

SWMBO :bowrofl: Happy wife, happy life, right? I like the sounds of your plans. :tup:

So... Yesterday I email my painter to see if I could pick up my harness bar, and some other parts, today. He told me last week they would be done today... He just emailed me back this morning saying someone put the colour chip back in the book and he needs my strut bar back so he can take another picture for colour matching. I installed the strut bar a 2 weeks ago... FFS

Ugh... Car modding is definitely a love/hate relationship. Nothing ever seems to go right. I just installed my rear sway bar and end links last night and there were no problems, everything went smoothly. I couldn't believe it lol, everything has been such a PITA lately I was expecting something to break.
