Don't put the drivers side mount in unless you want it vibrate at idle.

Also the two bolts for the pass side mount are in backwards.

SS_Firehawk 07-23-2013 02:59 PM

Sooooo puuuuurrrrrrttttttyyyyyy

I wish I was able to unbox mine like that.

You mean the mount in the 2nd picture right? That's probably just how it was shipped.

dmhenderson 07-23-2013 03:39 PM

Answered my own question - yeah that's just how GTM shipped that pass side mount.

I emailed you the answer.

dmhenderson 07-23-2013 03:45 PM

Yeah sorry. Didn't mean to email you. I went to reply to the PM and couldn't figure out where it went.

Baer383 07-23-2013 03:53 PM

Is that all of the SC housing you got ,what attaches to the machine surface.

dmhenderson 07-23-2013 04:41 PM

Not at the shop right now. It's the same kit you got so I'm sure I received whatever you did.

Baer383 07-23-2013 04:51 PM

My housing doesn't look like that.

dmhenderson 07-23-2013 05:07 PM

I'll ask the shop. Are you saying it's not supposed to look like that?

On he machine end it is suppose to turn toward the pass side,check the elbows he sent he may have send a 90deg that goes to it.

dmhenderson 07-23-2013 05:59 PM

I'll have to send the shop an email. I'm in meetings all day tomorrow.

dmhenderson 07-24-2013 10:19 AM

In between calls but I spoke to the shop and they said they've gone through the checklist for the kit and everything is there. The list even has pictures next to every item and it matches up but they're going to call Sam and double check just to be sure.

Baer383 07-24-2013 03:06 PM

You should take my advise and leave the driver side OEM mount on.

And they got the bolts on backwards on the pass mount.

dmhenderson 07-24-2013 03:43 PM

I'm willing to deal with the vibration. I can always switch it back if I have to.

Edit: Bolts being fixed as we speak.

Baer383 07-24-2013 04:20 PM

Sam was the one who told me about it and I didn't like it so I switch it out.

dmhenderson 07-24-2013 04:37 PM

Yeah I'm just gonna try it this way first.

Edit: Assuming the housing looks correct to you now?

dmhenderson 07-25-2013 06:06 PM

Good progress today:
-Fuel Pump and Injectors wired and installed
-Backwards passenger side motor mount corrected
-Blower mounted

SS_Firehawk 07-25-2013 06:24 PM

Man I'm excited for you. I want to hump that SC bracket.

Baer383 07-25-2013 08:29 PM

Good pics,but would still like to see the pipe coming out of the SC going toward the intercooler.

The intercooler and oil cooler aren't mounted yet. I don't get it.
What are you asking?

What are you asking?

The routing of the pipe from the SC all the way to the intercooler.

dmhenderson 07-26-2013 06:25 AM

Is that a question? Do you just want to see it or do you think something is wrong?

Sorry it was a question,I wanted to see if it was right plus what kind of changes GTM made.

dmhenderson 07-26-2013 07:43 AM

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

Chuck33079 07-26-2013 08:09 PM

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.

dmhenderson 07-26-2013 09:30 PM

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."

Baer383 07-26-2013 10:11 PM

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.

dmhenderson 07-29-2013 03:14 PM

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