I think FI makes the best exhausts

So, I picked up my own 2018 370Z NISMO about a month ago...

And now the goodies that are essential for a happy ending:

I will probably get a build thread going soon. There are a lot of parts inbound.

There is a lot of these types of lifts out there. Just google "dual scissor car lift" and you will see.

I opted for the dual piston (per side), so it was a bit more, but I can't remember the brand/model.

Silly question, but a while back I remember someone commenting that when they got their new COMP Turbo that it didn't seem to spin all that 'freely' by hand. Also see a few COMP turbo clips on Youtube that seem to spin for an eternity after the engine has been shut down. Mine is still brand new (still in the box), also doesn't seem to spin by hand all that freely either.

Am I missing something here?

The turbo is cold, and there is grease in the center section. As the water/coolant temperature goes up and through the center section, the grease liquifies and everything spins really easy.

This is why you see the turbos on YouTube spin for a long time after shutdown. The grease is designed to work at the same temperature as engine coolant.

Ah sweet, thought it might have something to do with temperature. Thanks. :)

Hes correct and its brand new, once it breaks in youll hear it spinning still after shut down. I may or may not chill in the car and just listening until it stops :) . great kit.

Argh! Stop psyching me up lol. This was the week I was supposed to install it... yeah right. 1 proper day off in the past 18, and no relief in sight. Getting so pissed off. Boxes have been sitting in my garage for over a month now gathering dust. :shakes head:

MoulaZ 03-16-2018 11:32 PM

Finally had a proper day off. Had a chance to start wrapping some pipes. Bought 100ft and ended up like 5 feet short lol. Came out alright though. Still waiting on the final ties.
