Lol, I'll stick to the stock rear end for now. It seemed manageable still... Surprisingly.

Wow, I think I counted 4 coolers in these pics. I'm guessing 2 oil coolers and 2 transmission coolers? Is that correct?

SS_Firehawk

Superchargers have their own oil cooler, and I have two 19 rows. There is an upgraded radiator hiding too.

Edit: Combined some of my posts. Updating first page with links and initial review I posted earlier. Also forgot to add a 4th pic I had in the original pics post.

In one of your last posts, you said that you chose the C30-94 superchargers (largest ones available). What size of supercharger pullies did you go with?

SS_Firehawk

Good question... I'll ask Monday. Car is sitting at 12lbs of boost, maybe a 92mm?

SS, was your car tuned with EcuTek or UpRev?

Mr.Squeeze

You will be fine with the stock rear with the way the blowers build power in a linear fashion. As long as you have a decent suspension and tire set up you will have a blast driving the car.

I'm using Uprev. I did discuss with Sam the options with ecutek, but with this being a new system for them, it was a better choice to use what they have the most experience with until they work all the growing pains out. I also have the tuner version so it was money already invested with uprev. There are a lot of exciting things with ecutek but not enough to make the change. And if I do in the future, it will be expensive to redo the tuning, especially with making seperate maps for meth.

Edit: Still running stock suspension, just sways. Tires are still Re50a's... Planning on Swifts and Nismo dampers, maybe coilovers if I'm feeling froggy. I'll replace tires later this year after they are worn down. Thanks MrSqueeze on the info about the rear end. It didn't feel like the power was overwhelming the rears, first gear isn't good for anything besides part throttle though... even when rolling in the power

Congrats Firehawk! Really impressive stuff. Looks like our cars will be shop sisters no longer. On the upside, hopefully they can turn to finishing mine now! GF is trying to make inroads on my second garage spot.

I did see yours on the lift. There wasn't much of anything going on Saturday, but I'm sure they are working on it. Sam was showing me some of the MHI pieces that came in. I also saw their 3.5 ton pipe bending machine. I was eyeraping the 1000hp white Z too. Then saw another one with a VK56VD motor in the engine bay. That was Fap worthy. Also saw the 4.2 TSC G37x. Speaking of garage spots... I need to clean mine out! Wife has all kinds of $hit in my car's spot.

8/26/2013 (combined post) I attached some images of a cat that was supposedly on my car but old pics say it isn't. I bought a resonator last year and I think I received a cat instead. So now I think I have two cats. Sam says a resonator is on the car, but I have a feeling it's still the same cat I had for a while. He said he would swap them for free so it's no big deal whether it's on the car or not. I'm thinking that these numbers are with a hfc in the Y pipe and not with a resonator as he told me. He did use the phrase "I think". Anyways, pics below. I don't have inside pics of the piece on the car, but it is most def a cat when I looked at it a year and a half ago. Top image is the one i think i already had and sill on my car. Bottom is the new one... It's clean as a whistle, no exhaust residue








Edit: Shipped this HFC back to Motordyne and requested a resonator be sent

Edit: I haven't updated my thread in a few weeks, been mostly quiet as I wait for the car to finish up Motordyne was awesome and swapped the HFC they sent last year to me with a resonator upon verifying it was brand new and never used. It was about a one week turn around time. Pics below...








She's a beauty! I'm super excited to test the number differences as well as the sound difference between the two. May need to make a stop at Fry's and pick up a Go Pro and mic setup.

Added pics of the Meth reservoir GTM put in my car. It's located in the hatch just below the strut tower bar. Not sure what the white thing is... most likely a pump of some sort?





Anyways, tentative pickup date is Saturday! Tomorrow they should be finishing up the retuning, the fan module and any other loose ends. We'll see if there will be any more last minute show stoppers! I have this POS Sentra rental I'm dying to get rid of. No cruise control, no cigarette plug in to charge stuff, no key fob, only one key lock on the driver side door, and it sounds like someone stuck a lawnmower on a motorboat with the CVT it has. It's just awful. This time I will upload vids and pics of the Z...
