And btw... I was between white and black too. But my wife's car is black and my G is a black flip with a pearl... I wanted it to fit in. So I chose black and seeing the black in person sold me... But I was literally seconds from driving off in the white, but I changed my mind before I signed the papers. I don't see many black ones... I'm happy. I love driving this car too... They wayyyy under estimate this car in reviews IMHO. This car is a rocket on rails! -

Ok guys, sorry it took a while but here's my full review and experience so far with this Fast Intentions Twin Turbo Kit:
PART 1- First and foremost, a little background of where I'm coming from. It'll help with understanding the decisions I've made and my experience, but if you'd prefer, scroll down to PART 2 to get into the actual kit purchase. So I've owned 3 boosted cars prior to this Z. First was a 2002 Toyota Celica Gts, can't remember the name of the company as they went out of freakin business half way through the build w Import AutoWorks here in Az. Never got it working right and unfortunately the turbo add was a downgrade from when it was stock. A few years later was my first Z. A 2003 350Z. Turbonetics Single Turbo that was great. I decided to go with the same shop as they really couldn't control the terrible experience with the celica but I do feel a bit disappointed that I was never really taken care of after the fact. It was more of a "sorry it's not working right" type of experience. It was my first time ever feeling that pull when she fully kicks in. However, it never seemed to be running 100% as I could still here some ping/detonation at high speeds. It was a reflash tune so that could have had a lot to do with it. Next was the 09 370z. This was BY FAR the best kit as it was the GTM Twin Turbo system and my god was it great. 495whp and MANY people told me she was the fastest car she'd ever been in. Finally the car I felt I was going to keep forever! I was so happy. 30 mpg and almost 500 whp, ridiculous! Two weeks later, we found out we were pregnant. Holy kick in the gut. Sold the Z as it was the daily at the time. I'm super happy though now as it was a blessing in disguise as my little girl has been the absolute light of my life. Didn't think about the Z too too much, but did get a little sad when I'd seen one drive by, the worst was the freaking dreams. Literally multiple dreams of her sitting in the garage, time to go out for a ride, get in, start her up, and then I'd wake up. Ugh. Worse than those teasing sex dreams. Fast forward 3.5 years later, cruising around in my daddy mobile honda civic, and there she is....the most beautiful Z I've ever seen. The '15 Pearl White Nismo. I swear it was like Nissan had asked me exactly what I would want a car to look like and then they went to the drawing board and designed this. I instantly knew what I was going to do with it. Purchased my first ever brand new car, drove her off the lot with 2 miles on it and instantly started my research on what Twin Turbo system I was to buy. Cloud nine baby!!!

Part 2 So after extensive time here on the site, multiple forums read and scrolled through, questions asked, interviews on the phone, I knew the Fast Intentions Twin Turbo Kit was the one I was going with. Except this time, I was going to drive to the men that actually masterminded the kit. Knew everything about it inside and out. If I was going to do this, it was going to be done right. Sat down and spoke to Kevin at Fast Intentions for over 2 hours and really laid out the entire gameplan. Told him exactly what I wanted as an end result and he gave every single recommendation and explained the why's and how's and where to research it. I did. More research. More time to decide if THIS was the best decision. The more I read, the more I knew it was. Called them back and it was gametime. They told me from the getgo it was going to be a while, they were so busy with all the kits currently and exhaust systems that EVERYONE kept ordering. That's what happens when you want to order from the best. They even recommended going to SpecialtyZ just in an attempt to make me happy bc I'd have it faster. I said no, the whole purpose of going to California from Az was to have the men that started with a blank piece of paper be the ones to install this on my car. I wanted it to be perfect. And they knew that going in and were willing to accept the task. I was prepared to wait a bit longer knowing it'd be worth it in the end. Next thing I know, I get the phone call, way earlier than I expected saying "are you ready??" Tingles. Giddiness, I was ready. Drove there, dropped off the car, got the grand tour of the building and flew back home. The ENTIRE time they were working on the Z I got notifications from Facebook and Instagram blasting and boasting about the status, Tony calling me directly to give me updates, it was wonderful knowing every step she was at every single day. Next thing I know I'm being scheduled to pick up the car! She was ready perfectly on schedule. I arrive at the shop and Tony is there with a smiling face, not only that I find that many other FI Z's are going to meet me there to accept another into the brotherhood. Which was another thing I never knew. You weren't just getting a boosted car and sent on your way. You were initiated into a brotherhood, a fraternity of Fast Intentions Z owners who were there for you, helped you if needed or had any questions. It was the best thing I could ask for. Not only had I received the car of my dreams, but instantly connected to other owners who took time out of their day just travel to the shop to meet me in person and welcome me to the family.

Part 3So after a good hour and a half of a complete breakdown of this incredible car from Tony and lunch with the crew, It was time to take her home. I was so excited and on cloud 9. She sounds amazing, she runs like a monster, holy hell she's so damn sexy. This was unlike any of my boosted Zs. This was incredible! And I only had her turned up to 9lbs! Two hours later I'm having the best damn time in LA RUSH HOUR Traffic. Ugh. But hey, nothing could bring me down. That was until I no longer felt the cold air on my face. I look down, my AC is on full blast, but in the dead heat of summer, I'm getting no cold air. Meanwhile, back in Simi Valley, Tony is getting ready for his Hawaii vacation for 7 days with his wife. All packed, vacation mode ready and finally time to relax before the bright and early flight the very next day. Phone rings. It's me, asking why my AC isn't working. Rewind a bit and upon all my research, one of the items I suggested was a CSF Radiator. It was a must for me, I live in flipping AZ where it's 120 degrees and heat is your enemy. This was how I was going to battle it. While Tony didn't think I needed it, I also felt he hasn't lived in AZ! It's different here. Well, that big bad beautiful Radiator....also didn't know how to hold freon. So there was a design flaw in the radiator, and Tony instantly knew what was wrong. He was promised by the manufacturer that it had been fixed, but unfortunately experience was telling otherwise. So here I was, time to turn around drive back to Tony who was now going to meet me at the shop at 10 pm, the night before he was supposed to be in Hawaii to fix the mistake of another company. Not only that, he calculates my mileage, pays me gas for the extra trip back, puts me up into a hotel of my choice while he works. We place the Nismo Radiator back in, car runs great, recharge the AC and she's ready to go. He gets home right around 1am bc he was so willing to fix a problem that wasn't his in the first place. I'm personally shocked. Back to my Celica days, I was never running right from the getgo. Not once had I experienced customer service such as this. Literally sacrificed his vacation time with his wife to make sure the customer was receiving the product as he wanted. Amazing. I strongly believe sometimes things happen that you can't control, but it's how you respond that shows true character, and my goodness this man absolutely blew it away. Drive home, no problems at all. We are good to go! Get a phone call at about 10 in the morning, it's Tony. The guy JUST LANDED in Hawaii and calls me to find out if I made it home ok and make sure the car was running good. That ladies in gentleman, is how a freakin company should be ran. WOW.

Final Part 4 So now I'm home. I get to enjoy the car at my pace and on my own. I'm launching, trying out the neat Ecutek features like Launch Control, No lift shift (oh my god my favorite) and just having a blast with the car. She's running exactly as she should. Then my check engine light comes on. Missfire. Dammnit. Clear it as she's running fine. Another 75 miles, CEL. F$cker. I hate you, it's like a middle finger staring back at you. The car is running great, but the engine keeps picking this damn thing up. Tony and I spend quite some time on the phone with myself and with Ecutek trying to figure this out. Unfortunately Nissan has made some changes this model year and some troubleshooting is now at hand with ecutek. Being one of the first on the tune and the newest model, this is a bit expected. Then next thing I know while boosting, I'm starting to run lean. By now I'm down in the dumps. I've been babying the hell out of this thing and now here I am with a "FU light" and a lean issue. So I start doing some data logging, sending it to Tony. He's talking with his Tuner (specialty Z) and Ecutek. I'm super busy with work at the time that we decide it's time to go on a road trip to Cali so he can have the car for a few days and I fly back. Tony steps up and decides he's paying for my full flight back, to and from. Awesome! And again, this is quite expected sometimes when you are the "first" of really anything. I drop off the car, after a 6 hour trip and no joke, I pull into the parking lot and my car shuts off and won't start. The Fuel pump just went out. Unreal. Holy freaking Crap. Aeromotive is an incredible company too. Just a fluke crazy situation and we really don't know why it was causing any issues. We replace the fuel pump and Tony gets to work. I fly home, 2 total weeks later and many many hours with Ecutek they figure out the misfire and she's back to being the monster I wanted her to be. I fly back, get my keys and drive her home. Absolutely no charge for all the extra work that had nothing to do with Tony, completely out of his control and for one, the radiator (which I was reimbursed in full for) that I specifically selected, no charge for, the guy wanted me to have the car of my dreams and was not going to let anything get in the way of that.
I strongly believe every car that you go to literally DOUBLE the power to is going to have it's bumps. If you want something that's going to never have any obstacles, especially in the beginning, then don't go boosted. Put on your intake and continue to get beat Seriously though I must say this is MILES ahead of the experience than my 3 other boosted cars. Not only in the performance aspect but the customer service. Fast Intentions literally treated it as if it was their own car and stopped at nothing to take care of me and my baby. The day after I got home I took her to the track (track day bro!), 20 min circuit course sessions that were just an absolute blast. The car performed flawlessly. My first car meet, then a 1/2 mile track, I'm shocking people, pulling on Zr1s, being interviewed by Super Street themselves, this is a freaking absolute dream, only this time I wasn't waking up. My damn cheeks hurt from smiling too damn much and that's how I know it's reality. After this experience, I will say there is NO other option. Fast Intentions is the ONLY way to go. Their products are holding up better than some of the most prestigious companies in the world, it's everything you need to create a beast, and best of all, their customer service is second to none. If you want more proof, go check out my videos on this forum. Many more to come bc I can't get enough of this incredible machine. Join the Brotherhood, and I can't wait to take the trip to meet you there when you get your keys for the first time.
