Thanks man! :tup:

The last week of waiting is the hardest part. Hope she gets to you quickly.

Just a little update.. Whiteline bushings and the differential are installed. The guys at F.I. should be starting to put the motor back in the car on today or tomorrow. Hoping to be able to pick it up on Wednesday. Thank you Dan and Tony for tracking down those bushings!

Thanks man. TBH after all this time, I am actually not too anxious about it. I am trying to keep it off my mind until I get the call saying everything is ready to go.

Good luck. If you succeed you are a better man than I.

It is definitely easier said than done. I think I had a dream about it last night. LOL :driving:

A little open DP teaser for you guys!

:yum: Can't wait to see what numbers you pull, and how it drives. :D

Thanks man I will have tons of video coming soon.

I am hoping that the wrap will be finished up Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe sooner.. I havent been able to sleep the last few nights! :excited: If you are in the socal area come to the motor4toys event December 1st!

nice car! Must be nice having so much power!

but all these mods and still have stock headlights? *hint* :P

Thanks man, trust me the headlights are on the list! Want to PM me a quote?

Looking for some opinons guys... my BBK will be going on soon (Yes I know, way overdue for it)

What color should I do the calipers? I would love some ideas!

sweet dude what kinda bbk u running? may i sugest silver gunmetal or red

Akebono with Stoptech rotors and SS lines. Base brakes, TT power, and hard canyon driving dont mix. Lol. They are red right now but I am worried it will clash with the matte wrap. I am kind of liking the gunmetal idea I hadnt thought of that!

Dude. Hawk hp+ pads. I have that exact setup. Sick

Cant remember what pads I bought.. It has been so long. Thanks for the kind words.

Dude you have an awesome build right there!!! nice job!!!

I would trade for your red Akebonos in a heart beat lol. Car is in So Cal again too :D

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words more than you know!

Back at GTM?

Wrap is finished up. F.I is finishing recirculating the wastegates with the 3" downpipes.. Car is supposed to be ready for tomorrow. Would be nice to have it for Thanksgiving!

Yeah. Tensioner pulley failed. So they picked it up from Vegas via transport to take care of it for me. I'm out of town a lot so it's not a big issue. They want to make sure it doesn't happen again so they are looking over it thoroughly to understand why it failed, if it's a flaw in design, install, or just a fluke. It's just a bump in the road. I won't be picking it up for at least a few weeks because I'm to busy and out of town. So if you want to do a quick swap, let me know :tup: hell I should get my lights done too while it's down, just need to gather up the scratch.

Hey Terrible, are you going to get retune and dyno? You should see some even more impressive numbers. :tup:

Hope it all works out for you man!

The car will definitely be hitting the dyno again!

Off topic! Duramax content!
 

Stuffed from Thanksgiving I figured I would post up my other pride and joy in here since I wont be getting the Z back till tomorrow morning! :( As some of you may know I used to own a G37S Coupe that was totaled by a family member (lesson learned) I bought a 09 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax and was out of the car scene for a while. Wasnt long before the mod bug bit. Anyways, here are the mods and some pictures!

Flame suit is on since I know this isnt a Duramax forum and some people frown upon lifted trucks. However I use this to pull my 12,000LB toy hauler and go off-roading!

Mods
Cognito 7-9 inch lift w/ fox shocks, traction bars, etc
35x12.5 Toyo M/Ts
RBP Grille
RBP 6" Exhaust tip
MBRP 5" turbo back exhaust w/ DPE delete
PPE programmer
Airbags for towing
3 autometer gauges on the A-pillar (air, boost, EGT)
Trainhorn
AMP research steps
Compressor w a onboard air station
Full sound system (speakers, 2 JL 10s, dynamat)
6K HIDs in the fogs and headlights
Recon Smoked tail lights

All I can think of for now.. but am probably missing a few things still. Here are some photos. Thanks for looking :tiphat:



Now I hope I can get some sleep soon so I can go get my car tomorrow morning! :driving: Stay tuned for pictures at the Motor4toys show Sunday @ Fast Intentions booth and some videos of it tearing up the canyons in Malibu!

I have a 2002 that I rock and my bro has 2007, 10" left and mods! Can't wait for your up date.

Car is in my possesion and running very strong. Stay tuned.. :driving:

videos!! now!!

:rock:

I will definitely get some tomorrow

:happydance:

Car is sleeping for the night. I will do a little write up tomorrow before my full review. Here is the Z sleeping in my parents garage. Out here for the holidays. Sorry for the bad quality took these w my phone. the matte cars look sick together.


Edit: cant get the pictures to upload. Will post them in a bit

You tease. :rofl2:

:happydance:

Pick your poison...

Just some quick shots with my phone. I am headed out for a Hike in the Malibu hills and when I get back I will try and get some videos and stuff of the car. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Three beauties...

You must of spotted the GT-R.. The best out of the bunch is resting in the shadows.

Alright guys here are my initial impressions. Keep in mind I only have about 400 miles or so of seat time so this is just a preliminary review. Once I put about 1k miles or so I will go more in depth about the entire experience. Before I go any further I want to thank Tony and Dan at F.I for all the work they put in, and IMO creating the best TT kit for our platform. Also Seb at Specialty Z.

Okay, now the car! Lol :driving: As I said I have put about 400 miles on the car or so and F.I has put on about another 450-500 miles on top of that. So far we have not had any issues with leaks, or any other weird quirks. Just to clarify incase some of you do not know I am running their turn key kit with the GTX2867s. See signature or previous pages for dyno #s. I will just touch on the performance real quick before my detailed review.

Throttle response: This is where the kit really shines. I have not driven any other boosted 370s however I have gone for a few rides and have driven a TT HR 350Z multiple times and nothing has ever felt this responsive. Hell even the GT-Rs iv driven or multiple series of MB bi-turbo V8s cant match it. There seems to be zero lag whatsoever, and IIRC I can still clamp the wastegates down a little longer for even better response. I will have a lot more to say I am sure once I run it on the 100 octane tune!

The buttdyno (very critical and scientific tool): I have not played with my boost controller at all as I still need to go over a few things with Dan before I do so I am running about 8.5PSI peak and holding around 8PSI all the way to redline and the car still pulls like an animal! I cannot wait to turn it up to 10PSI after we retune for the new 3" downpipes and get the fuel issue totally sorted out. Do keep in mind I have not seen any dangerous FPs throughout my driving but I would rather be safe than sorry. Should be hitting the dyno again in a few weeks.

Other than that the car sounds and runs great! The BOVs sound awesome and I missed that VHR exhaust note from my G37 although I do wish the car was a little louder still. As I said I have not experienced anything weird at all and we have definitely put the car through its paces. Stay tuned for more! I have a ton of videos and HD pictures with my 5D mark II instead of these sh!tty Galaxy S3 photos. Gonna bust out the gopros as well :tup: Anyway here are a few more shots from today. Got her all cleaned up for the Motor4toys show tomorrow!



Yea I know my garage needs some work!

Looking great, can't wait for the go pro vids

Oh couple more things... Bride Stradia IIs, love em. Defi gauges, love em. Pretty much everything else, love it. The sport brakes are going on very soon as well as some KW V3s w motion cups up front, a 12" JL w6 sub, pioneer HU, and possibly some tint

I will definitely get some video tomorrow! I will probably hit the canyons in malibu and a sweet road on my way home. I wish I had my external mic ready to go! :tup:

So sick :) Can't wait to see the vids!
