Default Just got my Z back, got the HKS GT Supercharger & more!

After an incredibly long week and a few delays, I finally got my Z back from GTM! Before I sent my car in my only "performance" mods were my nismo exhaust and nismo intake. Here is what I have installed after:

For the engine:
HKS GT Supercharger kit GTM spec
GTM HKS GT supercharger pully
Walbro 255lph In Tank Fuel Pump
DeatschWerks 600cc Denso Injector Set
HKS F-Con VPro Standalone Engine Management System
HKS GTM TEMP COMPENSATION KIT
GTM Intercooler Tempature Monitor
GTM Spec ECU Flash
JWT Fuel Managment Unit

For the AT transmission:
GTM valvebody upgrade

& For the gauges:
HKS CAMP2
Innovat LC1 W/Sensor
OEM Nav Inte

So obviously my nismo intake has now been retired (& is now for sale if anyone's interested), however I decided to keep my Nismo exhaust. Now as for the results?

My car has gone from a simple 350Z to a complete monster. The car just feels completely different to me, it sounds just amazing and thanks to the CAMP2 system it still looks stock other than the intercooler. On the dyno my WHP & Torque went up from 235WHP and 220 ft-lbs to 360WHP & 340 ft-lbs, and holy **** is the difference incredible. My Z is now incredibly fun to drive, and just opening it up gives me adrenaline. First gear is just crazy now, since the car just goes crazy once the SC kicks in during first. I will post some more info later as I get more acquainted with my the changes, however as of now I am extremely pleased.

Everything seems to be working perfectly, however I do have one problem that I would like to work out. For some reason my AC seems to not really work well anymore. I seem to get nothing but warm air out of my vents unless I have my AC turned all the way down 60 degrees, and then I definitely get cold air. It's currently a small problem for me right now since I live in SB and usually drive with my windows down most of the time, however I would definitely like my AC to be back to normal when I am on the highway.

However overall I have still been in the best mood since I picked up my car just because of how awesome it is to drive it. The HKS GT supercharger is just an incredible product.

it might be low, just add more freon and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't there might be a leak somewhere when they bent the ac line to install the sc.

So you went with the stage 4? Congrads!

Man, my car has been at a shop (not GTM) for 5 weeks now for install of GTM stage 5 HKS GT SC on my revup. Plenty of delays, but it should be finished today.

Nothing is wrong with your AC and nothing is wrong with your car so far as this AC issue is concerned.

Look on the driver's side near the center console and the plastics under your steering column and above your feet. There's a little rubber hose that attaches to the sensor that senses the temperature that's on the inside of teh plastics.. If it's not hooked on then it won't work. It may also be the one on the passenger side.

These rubber hoses sometimes get disconnected when you start taking the plastics apart above your feet. It should be a quick and easy fix. It has happened to me before and Ialmost took it to the dealer until the dealer explained to me over the phone how to do it.
