If they reached out to us it would be a consideration. We would love to work with them. What they have done with the GTR is nothing short of impressive!

Very nice update Tony keep up the great work :tup:

May I recommend Baker Tuning/Baker North in Houston? They're REALLY well known

As far as I know we are still doing the install for Cy and Tyler.

I have briefly dealt with the guys from Baker Tuning in the past. All good experiences. It would be a consideration if they reached out to us.

Thanks, Tony

I would agree, but to much as changed with Baker (not bad) just they have moved on with some stuff.
I will speak with a few people in Houston Tony and see if they want to reach out to you about becoming a dealer/installer here.

Hey Tony, shot you a message in reference to a good central TX shop becoming a certified installer ;)

I see that, thank you. Once he calls me we will take it from there. Side note, we look forward to getting your TT Kit in your hands soon!

Thanks, Tony

OMFG this is awesome! Thank you for the update. When should I expect a phone call to drop off the Z? :D

The Z is at the body shop from a rear end accident and I should have it back in few days.

Your turbo's are arriving shortly. Mostly everything else is here ready to go with the exception of your exhaust manifolds. As of today I cannot give you an exact date however within the next few weeks I will most likely nail a drop off date down for you.

Thank you for your patience through this endeavor. I promise you the wait will be more than worth it!

Thanks again guys!

Update,

We are at what we call "The Limbo Stage." This is the time in between the initial testing and the production kits being installed and/or shipped. Alot of downtime here on the forum and all seems calm. I can assure you we are working away getting everything perfect for our customers.

Many key components for our TT Kit are complete, in the shop and ready for installation and shipment. Other components are currently in production.

We have decided to raise the bar even higher than the prototype. (No the price is not going up.) The oil relocation adapter plate along with oil line fitting plate on the side of the engine block were off the shelf Moroso parts used for the prototype. Some of the other oil/water fittings were custom fabricated as one off pieces by us in house for the prototype. These were all phenomenal parts however they are not time or cost effective for production.

So in 3D CAD Solidworks we have designed our own application specific parts for the 370Z. This is the same process as how our exhaust manifolds were designed. Manufactured on a CNC Mill all of the following parts are comprised of "Billet Aluminum."

-Oil line adapter (side block mounted)
-Oil filter relocation adapter
-Coolant fittings
-Turbocharger oil drain fittings (O Ring) to eliminate the gasket.

In addition all of our silicone couplers are 4 ply black/black custom with our new logo stamped on them. All intercoolers will be pressure tested in the fabrication process. This will ensure a consistent quality product either installed or shipped. All of our turbochargers weather it be the Garrett GT28RS or GTX-2867R will be clocked and locked down to their installed rotation prior to boxing and shipment. This will ensure the installer has to spend less time figuring things out during the installation. We are taking everything into account to ensure the installer has the smoothest install possible.

The production exhaust manifold process is coming along quite nice. We have enlisted the services of a local machinist with over 35 years experience in his field. He told us the design we brought him is the most elaborate and complex exhaust manifold he as ever seen. Needless to say we brought him a challenge. Nothing is impossible if you enlist the right people. The tooling for the exhaust manifolds is nearly complete. We are also working with a local foundry state side to cast the exhaust manifolds. I am very proud to say we are manufacturing all of our custom parts here is the USA! Aside of the obvious right reason to do that, manufacturing our turbo parts locally is the only way to ensure the highest and consistent quality. Sure it comes at a price, but why settle for less!

Over the next 5 weeks we plan to do the first 2-3 installations in house. During that time we will write the installation manual step by step for our TT Kit. From that point forward we should be ready to start shipping out orders. Currently there are 11 kits pre ordered. We are producing all of the components for the first 25 kits. For once Fast Intentions may actually have something in stock. :rofl2: Once we have 18 kits sold we will start producing parts for the next 25 kits. This gives us a cushion of 7 kits to work with in stock. Our goal is to have it on the shelf ready for you when the order is placed.

To close,
We currently are working with 3 shops to be recognized as our "Certified Installers." What this means is either myself or Dan will fly out to their location and personally train their technicians on the first install. In addition their will be special tooling created by us to minimize the installation time. All certified installers will have these tools. We hope this is a big selling point for the potential buyer knowing they will have their kit installed by a properly trained technician at a fair price. We want to have 7-10 certified shops in strategic places throughout the country. This way every customer is in reasonable driving distance from a certified installer. The shops so far are,

SpecialtyZ (Chatsworth, Ca)
Grubbs Nissan/Screaming Lizard Customs (Dallas/Fort Worth, Tx)
Forged Performance (Atlanta, Ga)

More updates will follow with pictures of the newly custom designed parts along with the production manifolds. Please stay tuned as the limbo stage will be ending soon. If anyone has any questions at all or would like to place an order please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you all for your time.

Tony

Yes, all shops who are certified to install our turbo kit will be certified to install our exhaust systems.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you, Tony

MavRick,

I completely understand where you are coming from with the GTR fiasco. I have met with Sharif and his staff in person and they have reassured me this will never happen again. I have expressed my concerns moving forward and we all seem to be on the same page. That being said, there is nothing that says just because you have our kit you need to take it to a specific shop to get it installed. You are more than welcome to take anywhere you like. There are many shops nation wide that are more than capable of installing our kit. We plan to make the kit so easy to install that the end consumer could do it themselves at home!

Thank you, Tony

Is this one already ready to do FI exhaust installs?

Grubbs Nissan/Screaming Lizard Customs (Dallas/Fort Worth, Tx)

Side question: does anyone know what kind of suspension setup the FI car is running?

Sent from my Nexus 7

Stock for now (at least I think so when I last saw it)

Yep, stock suspension.

I have not been keeping up. Any provision for the stock crash bar up front? Or at least an aftermarket solution? Last I heard, we wouldn't be able to keep it.

No one is technically certified quite yet aside of us. We are still on track to perform the first few installs in early August and then start shipping. FP is getting the first kit and either myself or Dan is heading out there to walk them through the installation process. Once other shop currently has a kit on order which i have not added to the list yet. Aside of that, we have sold everything else ourselves, so we are either doing the install or sending those to the end consumer.

Thanks, Tony

We plan to offer an aftermarket crash bar that will feature the tow hook in it's stock location. As soon as I have more details I will share them with you all.

Updates on the kit?

Cy,

I made a large update a few weeks back. Most is still currently the same and we are on track to start doing installs early next month. If anything changes I will let you all know. Given you wanted to come our here, we could do your install next month as well!

Please give me a call when you have time so we can discuss the logistics of it all.

Thanks, Tony
