Yea i'm so excited! There have been more headaches than i mentioned in this thread. (like the shipper taking my car off the truck, joyriding it for 50 miles (took before and after pics of odometer), blowing up the motor (Which was getting replaced anyway), ripping my jspec bumper and cracking my rear 3rd brake light lense.
but anyways i am very excited for it to be finished!

The hardware is stock other than the exhaust and basic JWT flash and intake.
Do you notice the difference with the throttle response? Man, the car really moves when you give it gas. That's something I miss in the 370Z, and will hopefully resolve it with a TT kit and tune.

the throttle response is definitely quicker than the 370z, which makes sense because its an actual cable instead of drive by wire. This car had a lightweight flywheel when i got it (i'm going back to OEM for this build though because apparently a very light flywheel isn't good for Turbo, causes the boost to drop more between shifts) and shifting was very different. There wasn't that 'hang' that the 370z has in between shifts.
But yea its amazing what these cars can get with just an intake and a tune. I would have been happy with just that, but obviously, given the circumstances i had to make a choice between selling the car and doing a huge build'
