na didn't order yet, did get my tuning handled though and i decided i will be going to aam and having jeremy tune my car in about a month hoprfully sooner.....

the pipe by ur washer fluid there, i ran mine under it and didn't tuck it like that in between, gave me perfect fit up top..i mean it hangs down a little further but isn't noticed now that everything is back together, and like i said it fits great along with everything else...i have seen people cut it though...

 

heres a pic, see how the left is angled just a little under on the side where the light is...it made for a little more cutting when putting splash pan on, but can't tell now and made a great fit, just somethin to consider

 

humm i might try that next week on my day off. Thanks for picture tyler.

 

not a prob

 

Got my MAF housing today, everything is done.
Finally i turned my key...but no exhaust sounds loud!

But got a check engine light is one, i don't know i have to see after install exhaust and etc etc.

 

cool man...i threw my check engine light and scanned it and my maf was leaking a little, think it was p102 or somethin , i took it out fixed the o ring in there and put it back on cleared the code and it hasn't been back since...

what did u mean by ur exhaust sounds loud?

 

Do you have your cats/TPs on? If so, are the 02 sensors plugged in?

I don't think he has his exhaust on yet, so it's REALLY loud.

 

oh jesus christ chef..i bet it is loud...lol...yeah i wouldn't worry till u get everythig buttoned up then scan it

 

Yep, no exhauft yet. I think its comming tomm, (that's what fedex website say) lol very fast shipping.

After put an exhaust, I will go double check, cant wait to go get a tune this biaaach:]

Btw I still runing a stock belts.

 

I am trying to stay away from this thread chef but I cant!

 

i know how you feel...man..

 

is the BOV filter necessary

 

added protection from weather, and quiets the whistling down on the blow off, not a necessity though

 

Updated: Long story...My english isn't that great so ok? figure...lol

Finally day off again.. Woke up early in the morning, so i can finish exhaust!! yey.

Installed APS TD...IMO, Sounds good, louder than nismo..And very high quality weld, no regret. But some area, it was hard for me to tight up the bolts..
And my splash guard came in, but shop sent me a wrong side..( need driver side, but they sent passenger side)..Oh well..not a biggie...gotta wait.

Anyway, turned the key...HA... I can my exhaust was leaking..where pipes meet at M-brace area..and check engine light was still on.

Test drive time! ( i haven't drive my car since november.. hate winter)

Oh well..Some exhaust bolts wasn't tight enough, so i decided to go muffler shop first. On the way to muffler shop, got in trouble..... my car scared sh*t out of me...car won't pass 2500 RPMs...god damm...soon as when i got to exhaust shop, i called sharif@forged..he told me it might be something leak or MAF, he told me to get a code first see what that it is.

Ok..After muffler shop, i straight went to home....Found out problem..my MAF sensor wasn't plug in all the way!!!!! ( Whatta dumb newb...) lol

Now, car running like normal. APS sounds good and No CEL light!! YEY!!

Also, i'm plan to order code reader, i think that will help me in future lot easier.

Not running blower yet, i will ask forged to finish it up for me....



APS..


Thanks guys who helped me thru PMs..about a month later i will go down to forged to get a tune..Will update at that time with dyno sheet.

Edit: For who looking for SC install

Are you going to install vortech yourself without extra hands?? and no mechanic experience? You can do it, i have no experience..Just take your time and one by one. Don't give up
PM, who have a questions in future. MY350z FTW!!

nice bro, congrats...i love my nismo and the berks are goin on now...im putting a video up on youtube right now but its my camera phone and it sucks at getting sound, gonna get some good ones right before i install the berks with my camera to compare the sound before and after...

 

you will love how nismo/hfc combo bro...But i do know is ceramic/metallic HFC makes diff sounds...
i have a video clips on my other threads. I have the UR ceramic hfc, but if i can i will upgrade to metallic ones later.
