Appreciate the support. I think GTM is done with all the changes for 370Z adaption. Orestp was telling me GTM was working on the replacement of an AC hose as their last piece to figure out (they did). if the radiator is in place (looks like it is) and they found a way to mount the oil cooler with the FMICS, it doesn't look like this should be finishing up soon. I of course still have a million questions. I'll just try and sit tight.

Orestp will hopefully get his kit soon

Edit: Looks like the stock radiator is still in there. I would imagine it to be easier to remove the stock radiator since it's being replaced anyways to mount those aluminum SC anchors. Just an observation. If it were CSF, I think I should still see the CSF logo and the blue radiator fluid would be cleaned off the corner. The stock manifold is still on. Not sure if they added the injectors yet. If they did, then not sure why they put the stock one back on. And this is what I do out of extreme boredom...

After much deliberation and Wife input, thread and project name is changing. Took 3 weeks of back n forth debate, felt like we were naming a child haha.

It's now called the Sophia Project, hopefully mods change the title soon.

Edit: Triple's was lightning fast on the name change haha. I refreshed the page and was done.

Mike took this 30 min ago (Thank you meta data). Yeah, I started screaming with excitement. I started rallying the Marines and coworkers and they laughed at me haha. I told them "You don't understand! I've been sending them @ss tons of money and this is the first pic of something I paid for on the car!" Totally elevated my day.

Aha! This is why I still don't have my car back :stirthepot: GTM must have seen your message about finishing my car so they can work on yours :happydance:
Looking sweet bro beans. Nothing better than getting a pic of work completed after months of waiting and money spent. Very rewarding. I'm sure your co workers didnt get it lol I do it to mine too hahaha

This day just keeps getting better... Special delivery mails from Mike@GTM! Things look to be moving quickly now. I still don't see the oil cooler, or a good pic of the radiator, but this is looking awesome. I can't wait.

I also have a sneaking suspicion those intercooler pics for the MHI kit are mine too lol. I saw one of the SC oil coolers. The MHI kits and this one use the same IC's, so it's still accurate.

You know, something just hit me. Why doesn't someone make a sliding door for easy access to aftermarket intake systems mounted in front of the wheel well? They make vented ones. How difficult would it be to unscrew a couple fasteners and slide the piece out. Z speed made an undertray with a door for easy oil changes, this would make it easier than unbolting the wheel liner or removing the bumper.

idk... but you better patent that sh** before I do. Maybe after I sell a few I can get your build :tup:

Do you know how much boost you'll run out of each?

Not sure yet. I'm going to assume 10-12 lbs pulleys. It may take more to compensate for the long tubes. It could be fine with the 2.75"mid pipe restriction.

Edit: So far it looks to be in running condition. I wonder if they are going to go straight into tuning and documentation to speed up the timeline, then go back and install all the other goodies I sent them.

So now that those intercoolers are installed, I'm really wondering how my oil cooler is going to fit. I'm kinda worried. I don't think it will fit behind the intercoolers with the radiator support beam there. I also don't know if it will fit up front without that tow hook block getting in the way. Maybe remove the tow hook and mount it to the crash bar?

For reference, here is a link to the oil cooler pics

Guess I'll just sit patiently and wait for the next update.
