This sounds like when i first bought mmy SC there was a shop I called and they told me they did so many 350zzz that its like a joke for them. The day I went to drop the car, there was a g35 leaving the shop and I asked the owner of the shop "What did you do to that car?" he answered, "We just installed a HKS twin turbo" two weeks ago and now he came to install his HKS plenum" this is when I said that I will be back and never went there again........ DAMN

You've never seen the HKS TT and plenum combo?

P0605- ECM Malfunction
P0507- Idle control system
P1564-ACSD steering switch
After about 5 minutes of investigating we found the following things that were completely F'd up.
#1 (and by far the most negligent attempt at a repair we have found to date) Was a blown main fusable link, that was repaired with a piece of 8 guage wire
#2 Crank angle sensor wire unsecured and just hanging.
#3 turbo intake lines loose
#4 Turbo discharge lines loose..
#5 oil return lines leaking
#6 oil overfilled by 1.5 qts
#7 Main seal leaking
#8 Bolts missing in exhaust
#9 Stainless lines unsecured rubbing against rubber lines..
#10 Fuel tank leaking and unsecured properly..
#11 many broken hoses and lines
#12 horns disconected..
These were the main things we found thus far, but this car is a mess...Whoever worked on this car needs to be fired ad neve allowed to touch a 350Z or any car again for that matter. It simple amazes me how some shops operate and how they stay in business with htis type of work comming from their shops..
The car was put together by a shop in Michigan...I simply can not understand how a car like this left their shop like this..

tuning Factory is not 6 distribution its two different companies at two different locations. We purchase our parts from them and that is IT!
As far as that car being at the shop. We have NEVER installed a APS TT kit. We don't even sell APS. We have done nothing but custom turbos, Turbonetics, and Greddy kits here.
If you can get the customers name, a picture of the car, and maybe a invoice that we did the work? I would really like to end this slandering. Becuase we did not put a finger on that car.
