Default APS TT Arrived...

Finally after what seemed an eternity my APS TT from GRD (thanks Irshad!!!)
arrived today. F'n UPS forgot one of the boxes at their location so I had to drive by to pick it up.

Car is going to Brainstorm tomorrow...YEAH!

Two huge boxes and the Dual Exhaust...well, I could fit in that box

I put one box on the passenger side and the other one I emptied and was able to distribute the contents in the back. Only thing that didn't fit is the muffler but I have a buddy come with me tomorrow so that goes in his car.

I'm sooo excited, in one week I shall be faaaast

This was from the GB that was canceled and then picked up by GRD right?

They just now got it?

Congrats none-the-less!

yeah, It took 8 weeks to ship from Australia and then got stuck at Customs for another 2 weeks and then 1 week to get to me...11 weeks...and now one more week for the install. It worked out ok for me though because I wanted to get some miles on the car first and I had to wait forever for the gap insurance to finally reimburse me for my totalled Z

I just got my APS TT kit today too!!! Also from Irshad at GRD. I can't wait to get this thing installed. But I'm still waiting on my exhaust which is taking forever to get here (4.5 weeks and counting). So while I'm waiting, I'm going to get my hot parts cermakrome coated like Madelinot.

Great stuff guys.. Best of luck. The time it takes to install and the wait is definitely worth it, trust me.

Next upgrade will be a built motor so you can run 12lbs

I was seriously considering building up the motor...but my brother (a nissan tech) will only do so much work for free (install APS TT, coilovers, exhaust). So it will have to wait until next year.

no N2O, I was going to do the Stillen Nitrous mix but then decided against it and to go with the TT.

Dropped off the car at Brainstorm this morning....now more waiting

Going to miland saterday the 22nd and the 30th. Not that far for you. Last time I took it to miland we blew the motor up on the NOS and had a small fire. It will be nice to be back at the track!!! I hope not like the last time!!!!!

Why do you think you will detonate under spray, were you spraying over 6k rpm?

After we took the motor all apart the pistons were all scorn to **** and ****ed up. The engine builder said it was due to the nos.
