wow good eye. i will get those painted now. easier to do it with clear access
to those parts thanks

I just ordered my gtm TT kit and plan on doing the install with the motor in as well. Not everyone has the means to a lift and such. Besides I also did the install with the motor in on my 350z aps TT kit and I cant say it was easy but I enjoyed doing the work myself. To each his own... ;)

What do u mean by "as well"? The OP took the motor out. I think u got the threads mixed up!
TT install on a 350?? U r right about to each his own, not sure I would "enjoy" that experience lol.

Day 5
Some piping on. trouble a bit with o2 sensor broke one,another $235 and day wait to the build. also that wastegate left side selonoid is so damn close to the starter or touches frame when checking engine fit(just some more shop time-its only money) engine is almost ready for reinstall.

looks good! I would remind them about the actuator brackets because if you're going to paint them now is the time.

elperuano 12-18-2012 08:35 PM
Lookin good! Hopefully the shop can figure it out ASAP n save u some coin!

Day 6

engine back in car. clearance on wastegate selonoid left side fixed(clock turbo)looking at stange plate dunno what it isabout 2.5'x1.5' with 6 spacers.
perhaps for intercooler? pained brackets.really starting to look like a bad *** engine. still not alot of space but it is comming together-50hrs +/- so far
it wont be cheap but it will be fast

esfourteen 12-19-2012 07:50 PM
the 6 spacers are for your strut bar to accommodate the raised engine. that other bracket is not for your car, GTM likely put it in there on accident.
