How about some credit for MRC??!!! We had some interesting things to add to the wonderful exciting

instructions.... Like the length of the bolts holding the fuel regulator to the tank for example... !

I think I have read the instructions about 30 times to date.... Maybe I will come up with a clif notes version!!! And as far as the subject at hand about the pass side air filter bracket......... 1 word- ZIPTIE!!!!

I think if the day comes when we have to rely on shops to write intructions is the day when we will move onto making other non technical products.

the instructions were OK, but really lacked when it came to talking about how to route things. with such tight spaces, a lot of time was spent routing and rerouting lines, hoses, wires, etc.

Talking about instructions, Peter, do you have anything that relates to the G35 install? Like what's different, what needs to be installed differently, which parts won't fit, etc?

I will follow them, I promise!

Thanks!

If you DON'T take shop feedback, how can you improve on your product?

Just to put some of this in perspective, they guys at Dyno-Comp told me that when compared to the engineering and quality of the APS TT kit, the "other" kits they've installed on Z's seem like they were thrown together in somebody's backyard.
