Me too! Im installing some gauges in my factory gauge spots on the dash. I hope it turns out well lol. I also have to fab a piece of exhaust pipe, and modify my rear bumper so a single exhaust doesnt look retarded. There is a lot that can go wrong with those two lol, and I have to have it done by the 18th. Hopefully all goes well. I cant wait for my tune!!

Speaking of tunes... is anyone tuned on 91?

So we started work this evening. Before we got too far into tear down I wanted to make sure that the couple of areas of concern wouldn't be show stoppers, this being the first BP kit on a G37 and all. Mainly I wanted to test fit the FMIC, check the turbo charge pipe to the FMIC and test fit the bumper with the FMIC in place.

A few things are slightly different but nothing major. Tomorrow will be a full day of tear down and kit install. Wish us luck!

Anybody else's pre-drilled mounts not line up right? Its not that big of an issue except for the life of me I can not get a drill bit to bite on this and drill the holes out where they should have been. I even used my smallest bit. I don't have a press but I cant believe it wont just drill into the aluminum.

In the pic the passenger side holes are set in way further than the drivers. I had to hold it up to the drivers side while my girlfriend marked where the holes need to be on the other mount. Another setback.

I had the same issue. I'll let Sasha speak to it, but it appears to be a QA issue coming from Treadstone. They appear to have two different mounting tab widths. Looks like you got the smaller ones like I did. I used two sets of vise grips to hold it in place and drilled new holes. It drilled VERY easy and only took a few minutes. Check your drill bits..

A center punch will also help the drill bits bite into the material without moving around on you.

TopgunZ 04-11-2014 10:49 AM

Yeah I punched it. However, I just learned it is stainless steel and that is why my crappy drill bits wont bite. Need to go get a carbide bit to chew into it.

Looks like it is Treadstones fault. The tabs off the intercooler are just too short.

I drilled mine out to 3/8" as per the instructions and it bolted right up.
