I'll ask them to take a picture today. No worries.

dmhenderson 07-26-2013 08:07 PM

No pictures today but the headers are heat wrapped and the intercooler and oil cooler are mounted and wired. Gauges are in progress.

ETA to tune: 1 day.
Estimated completion date: Wednesday, July 31st

Not to be that guy here, but go real easy on it once you get it finished and tuned. You're adding a LOT of power. Be gentle at first. Things are going to happen a lot faster now.

I have a healthy dose of respect for what this is gonna feel like. I have no desire to lose control of it.
Absolutely no offense taken. I agree with you 100%.

Chuck33079 07-26-2013 10:07 PM

Yeah, there's a point about halfway through your first third through forth gear pull where you're thinking "no ******* way."

You may want to take a peak a the top radiator hose b/c it is suppose to be turned around backwards and it doesn't look like mine plus there is a kink in it.

The coolant tank hose?
I don't see a kink - point out what you're talking about?

:hello:

dmhenderson 07-26-2013 10:50 PM

Yes, I understand that but which picture are you looking at? I don't see a kink.


Edit: Ok now I see it. It's hard to pick out because of the red hose. I'll bug the shop on Monday.

dmhenderson 07-27-2013 01:22 PM

Talked to my guy and the hose was already fixed because he noticed it yesterday.

He also said the oil cooler and power steering brackets came unpainted so he treated and painted them black for me.

Otherwise no issues to report. Poor guy, I'm bugging him for updates on a Saturday.

More fun from GTM. The bolt & bracket that hold the factory oil cooler on have to be swapped out and although GTM was well aware of this before the build started, they didn't provide it (literally, just a freaking bolt). When the shop called to ask them about it, they basically said "here's the nissan part you want, good luck".

The shop is mad at GTM. I'm unhappy but what can you do right? Can't even start running oil lines until we have this bolt so...

tl;dr: New estimated completion date: Fri 8/2 or Sat 8/3. All for a $9.00 bolt.

I'm waiting to see the pipes coming from the SC to the intercooler to see what GTM has changed.
