dmhenderson's Nismo '12 GTM supercharged build thread where I freak out a lot

jlo370z · 05-27-2013, 08:51 AM

nice list cant wait to see more photos

Nice. You've come a long way with it.

Still more to go.

theDreamer · 05-29-2013, 03:05 PM

Car looks great and you will love the SC kit.
And I can tell you, being lowered does suck but I like the improved handling and just learned to slow down for bumps.

Some consternation over the location of my future oil cooler. The Z1 kit won't fit with the SC and relocating it to either wheel well would interfere with my brake ducting.
GTM says they have an intercooler mounted solution (???) but will have to requote me. I'm going to call sam in a few and see what he says.

Also looks like I am going to lose my Z1 silicone hoses so those will go up for sale soon as well

Which hoses? I kept my radiator ones, the upper one you flip and the lower one works fine.

Well the breather hose has to go obv but SS Firehawk said he couldn't keep his. He is also going to run a twin SC so I dunno yet

Oh god here we go.

so jealous

dmhenderson · 06-09-2013, 06:01 PM

Spoke with the guys at Moore and they're confident we can find a workaround for the brake ducting kit/intercooler/oil cooler mounting conflict.

GTM basically said "yeah so there's not much we can do without your car in the shop". Considering the shop is in CA, I don't think that's an option.

Next up: Mod timeline followed by Christmas SC kit delivery date.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

diddy535 · 06-09-2013, 07:25 PM

Sorry to hear about the ducting issue.

But sub'd to see the awesome progress!

dmhenderson · 06-09-2013, 07:50 PM

Here's where we started: March 17th 2012

dmhenderson · 06-09-2013, 07:55 PM

Stereo Install: May 2012.

dmhenderson · 06-09-2013, 08:14 PM

Nothing special here. Swapped the door speakers and tweeters with Infinity Kappas. Couldn't go up to 6x9s because the brackets wouldn't fit but I'm happy with the result.

Alpine 4 channel amp under the passenger's seat, Pioneer shallow mount sub in the spare tire well in a custom mount.

Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH HU with bluetooth and XM.

Ran the iphone cable through the glove box. The neat thing about this system is that other than the HU, everything is totally invisible.

Should probably mention that the bluetooth functionality is now worthless because the car is too damn loud to take hands-free calls inside it.
