Ron's better late than never TT build thread

^^^^I had the same issue. My driver's side waste gate pipe coming off te manifold was tapping the firewall. It took a little messing with, but it is gone now.

Also of note, be careful parking in heavy rain. Somehow water managed to funnel its way into my passenger side filter and filled up my charge pipes!

Yeap, I know what you guys are talking about, had the same issue with the same pipe, we fixed it . Elliot, I saw your thread about water on the IC, that's no bueno!

Also, were you able to get this bolt on? If so how? It's the passenger side downpipe where it bolts to the exhaust housing of the turbo, because of the angle of the downpipe the stud hits it at an angle that does not allow it to go in, you can see the marks were it hits the pipe.

Mine is not that tight for some reason. Could be that I am running a smaller hot side or a difference with the design for the G...

I was thinking about just banging the pipe a little to get the stud to slide in.

Ron, I was able to get that on, but not easily. I put that stud in before the downpipe was on. Then, I ground down the rim of the nut so it would fit (mine was hitting the downpipe and wouldn't line up with the hole). When you put the downpipe back on, put that nut on first and tighten it down before putting the others on. This way you can move the pipe around to get the nut lines up. Hope you can get it lined up!

lol, you guys are funny. Why dont you use a nut without a flange, instead of grinding down a flange? M8x1.25 grade 10.9 nut can't cost you more than 1 dollar.

Ron, I'm getting the same noise under the dash area. My tech worked on one 370Z that had silicone stuff coming out from the heater core. I've been hearing the noise thinking it was the flywheel, but it comes and goes especially in cooler weather. I'm going to have it checked on the next oil change.

Haha that would have made too much sense! I should have done that, but was just set on working through.

I took it back to Baker and described the issue and the TSB to Jason. He was able to tell it was coming directly from the heater core and he could actually feel the clicking when he touched it with a pen. He back flushed it and according to him not much came out, just some small residue of red silicone that more than likely came from my red silicone hoses. The car is no longer making that noise.

Damn that sounds good! That's almost identical in HP, but about 30wtq lower than what I made at Z1...on 11 psi! Nice results. Wish I could have met up with you at ZDayz.
