Like so many have already said, sorry about the loss. I lost my engine too after only have my GReddy TT for about 4 weeks after install. The only good thing is that so many have been down that road before you and can help you out with advice and connections on where to buy stuff. Good luck.
I know I was asking for it, I was trying to take it easy but you know how it goes in the rain. I wish I had 4 weeks, this happened in like the first hour. How long did it take to get your car back together giong deep?

That is very bad news. SOrry to hear about ur loss. Im thinking u got a boost spike since u didnt have a boost gauge to tell u otherwise. Also u say it was raining so im assuming the weather was cold. When the weather is cold my car tends to boost a little higher than usual. Usually around the 6-7psi range. One cold night a punched it in 3rd and got a booost spike of 7.5 psi. This happened 3 times within the same run.

Yep I think that's probably what happed because I only went from 1 -3rd

If u want to build up ur engine then my suggestoin would be to competely ship ur entire car to SGP. From what i hear they do excellent work. THat way they can rebuild ur engine and tune it without having to worry who else will tune ur car. I know someone who will be doing that since he also did some engine damage with his TT.

Where at do you live? I know Altered Atmosphere does good tuning. That will be were I am taking my car. They are a HKS dealer also so you could always pick up a F-CON from them. They say they are pretty easy to tune with. I am going to buy a bottom end through and send it off to SGP through and get the Ultimate Short Block deal they offer. It comes with everything you will need to make a rock soild bottom end.

drop the engine again stock(stupidest choice)
Sorry about your loss..
Given that I unfortunatel yhave a lot of experience at this, let me tell you what I would do.
1) Pull the bad engine first. See if you can reuse the crank and heads.
2) If so, just buy a brand new block (or a used block).
3) I would jsut stick with the stock size (3.5 L) and get the pistons/rods/studs. Sleeve if you are planning on spraying on top of the 18-20psi of boost you are planning to blow (I am sure).
4) PM me with your phone number if you wish. I don't mind helping out a fellow G/Z owner.
BTW... I do have a set of pistons that arias provided me with to recoup the costs from the slight misdesign they originally had going.... So, I am selling those, and they will be available this week. I need the money...let me know...

Again, I feel for you....sorry for your loss

that is in a perfect world....so, 3 weeks is probably the best estimate..get the hard to get parts on ordser ASAP: main and head studs, pistons, rods...
yea at least I'm not the only one this happened to, I knew the danger of driving it like this I should of took it alot easier on the car. I thank all for the input/help, no one needs to feel sorry. Although a bit sad/mad at the situation I'm trying to move on and get back up n runnin damn it...

I appreciate the fact that I worked so hard to bring these to you guys and now you are sending people to a company that has lied about them from the start.
I talked to ARP last week and they assured me that my 25 sets of main studs will be the very first sets sent out once ready at the end of the month.
I also have ~18 sets of head studs in stock
When I needed a set ASAP and no one had them, competitionwarehouse told me they had them in stock and could ship same day.
... over a week later i get my head studs in, still no mains after 2 weeks. no notification or updates or any contact at all from them.

you guys are right!... i was scrambling to get the head studs AND the main studs, i checked with about 20 different vendors, no hard feelings about who i'm sending my money to on an extremely SMALL order...i have bought almost ALL of my main parts from board vendors, i try to support this site as much as i can....but this place does claim to be one of the biggest distributors and that they would have the part in first..maybe they weren't telling the entire truth....
THE FACT IS: my motor is disassebled, my car is out of commision, i need MAIN studs to put it back together, no one else had the part, these guys "claimed" they did!!!!
OK?...you tell me you would do anything different, you aren't in the situation of trying to get your blown up motor reassembled ASAP!!!

The problem is that you would get a stock engine but at least you would save the cost of a new engine.

might be more trouble since i have to change the fuel line, injector harness, fuel rail, remove the turbo manifold, turbos and then probably wait.
How much was the short block from turbotoys? Also does anyone know how much it is to ship an engine from Atlanta area? And what service? Does anyone know if an auto engine would work aslo? thanks

When my engine blew, I didn't have a single part or list of parts for an engine rebuild. Luckily, sharif was crucial on getting me started. I bought a used short block from turbotoys and received the block about five days later. Since since, I have received everthing else you could imagine from gauges to a clutch. However, I just recently found out the crankshaft was out of spec, so I am buying a new one from Performance Nissan. PM me if you want to see my parts lists and where I bought them from.
