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.

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

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

Anyway here are a few more shots from today. Got her all cleaned up for the Motor4toys show tomorrow!

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!

TerribleONE · 11-30-2013, 10:07 PM

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

puckshaw · 11-30-2013, 10:44 PM

So sick

Can't wait to see the vids!

GaleForce · 11-30-2013, 10:59 PM

I was going to get some Stradias until I sat in one at SEMA... I'm too big for them

My wife is tiny and she felt they were too tight for her.

I'm not sure what to do for seats now.

Great looking car, they did a really good job on the wrap.

Huck · 12-01-2013, 12:20 AM

Congrats on the finish man, she looks great! It was definitely a blast getting a ride at zdayz. Did you have the bride's in there then or are those new?

Zdayz 2014!!

Hey man, I was worried about that before I got them.. took a gamble and had not sat in one before but I actually fit great. I am about 6'2 205LBS 34-36 " waist. Thank you for the kind words. Coming from you, its a huge compliment!
