ok so i got the utec put in, moved the power steering cooler, got the intercooler put up there. been pressed for time.. we've only spent about 7 hours on the project so far. it says 10 hours to put in the turbokit i believe on the turbonetics site. (by a mechanic) i think we'll have it done in less than ten hours. just waiting on the Return fuel system to come in. I am going to take pics of the naked front end with the intercooler tomorrow before we start workin on it again. It was stormin like hell tonight. also, i think my buddy got a lil high when we removed the AC line. haha, poor guy. Anyways, I'm freakin PUMPED.

I'm doing it alone also. But I'm taking my time. I've worked on it 2 1/2 days so far and got about 95% of it done. I started getting flashbacks from when I was a mechanic in the Army. Less the beer.

My roommate and I have been working on it for 3 days a little bit at a time. We both have a lot of work/school related issues going on, but after working on it for what seems like about 12 hours total we are at a standstill. I wish i would have told the guy to send my Fuel return system next day air. it isn't getting here until wednesday. The utec and turbo are on though

Gonna leave the Spearco facing the back. I was talking to craig. Maybe some Red paint saying "Pwned" would be better hahaha.


also, taytay.. sorry about all the previous stuff. Good luck to you with your kit man.

That's just wrong....


I am having a blast helpin Lo$t out installing this kit. This is the first time I have had the chance to work with anything FI, and I've always been obsessed with it. Not sure why, but I have.... Also, I usually work in domestic vehicles, and let me tell ya that the qauality of this car is outstanding. When I slid up under the dash and saw all of the tubuar aluminum framing, I almost shat myself. I am constantly finding new things that amaze me about the 350z. From the nice factory a-arms to the huge factory sway bar, these cars are nice... I wish I didn't have to spend 1k's of dollars to get rid of my factory stamped metal suspension and chasis components; no wonder these cars drive so well...

Looks like we'll both have ours completed just about the same time; and maybe Paul's roadster too
