The truth is, he came to us with a semi-blown (broken rings and bent rod) stock motor with a Greddy TT kit on his 5AT. He had a different shop in AZ. (not sure who) uninstall his Greddy kit and sell it to someone else. When we received the car on a car hauling big rig truck, it was with the motor just sitting in it not hooked up to anything, bolted down. Alot of clips, wiring, and pins where either damaged or missing, the AC lines broken, etc. We then tore down the motor to find the above mentioned damaged. after a few shipments of parts from James, such as a bumper etc., we installed the new built long block and the JWT TT kit, including the damaged and/ or missing parts on his car (with no extra charge) just so we could properly complete the install for him. Everything was complete and in seemingly good working order, until we went to tune the car at JWT with Jim and Clark. It was giving a false reading of some kind and wrong boost pressure on the dyno. With a couple more days on the dyno with Jim and Clark working their magic, it was narrowed down and concluded that unfortunately for James, it was the (very worn out, stock 5AT) tranny that was slipping and acting funny and giving off some false readings. This made the car very hard to tune properly. JWT figured out a way and a device (with some help from Nissan), to lock down the tranny temporarily just long enough for the car to be properly tuned.

So as you see IMO, we at VRT again went over and above what I feel most shops would have done in our efforts to help him.

I run a bottle for the intercooler sprayer, but for whatever reason, nitrous use does not appear very common here (Phoenix) in the Z/G scene...

If i wasn't so anti-bodykit, this would be near the top of my list. The guys at car version 2 were nice enough to pull my bumper off so i could get it repainted and not have to worry about overspray on the car. The chips and a couple of curb scratches were bothering me. It's back on now and i might run over to Elkton and check out that z meet on Sunday. pm me if you are rolling.

"Dude do not go to VRT, I repeat DO NOT GO TO VRT. There is more than one person that came back from there that are not happy with the car. They keep makin up bullsht. They have one 700whp G and thats it." Reference thread: http://www.az350z.com/forum/viewtopi...=3796&start=15
