I can only think of what else they may have missed since they managed to miss a $20 seal costing me more time and money. My faith in vsr is diminishing fast.. It's now 8:00 a.m. my time and still no word from bobby..

Waiting on pistons.

you know how i know you were gonna have problems?.....

you bought a TT kit from GTM :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

Ouch! Its a little early for ball breaking man! That's more of a noon or later activity

Hate to hear about your experience man.. I know you've been down awhile. Also understand your disappointment and lack of faith with VSR as I'm sure Infidel does too. I myself have almost lost complete faith. My car will be going to either Z1 or Dynosty soon to diagnose the health of my engine and work out the bugs my car has had since I got back from Tampa. Hope your build ends up being solid, I however have a bad taste in my mouth at the moment with VSR. Time will tell what my situation will be. Best of luck!

You guys stating your next car will already be FI, care to elaborate? Do you mean a factory fi or a modded car that has fi?

I don't understand that, this and that are entirely seperate issues, the rear main on this motor comes pre assembled into the rear cover how do you **** that up?

A car that is Already Turbocharged. For me I'm referring to a gtr.. Waiting to hear from the transport anytime now but I'm thinking it will be tomorrow sometime before it is picked up.. The rear main seal on the 370z is a bit different than the 350z so the upper and lower oil pan should not have to be removed.. Will post up a pic..

Here is a pick on the engine stand but dummy me did not even notice it wasn't there..

so wait. the rear main was never installed in the rebuild!?

also the rear main does not come pre installed. front main maybe? the rear is a compression seal inserted after the main girdle and the short block halves are put together

......its a joke.

:facepalm:

I was thinking DE, those are in a little aluminum cover

Mine will be factor FI, Been looking at the 09+ C63 Sedan, S4 Sedan, or maybe the EAU Rouge( Q50) in a few years lots can change .

On topic its really not reassuring that they installed a motor with out looking at everything first? :shakes head:

They didn't install the engine, COSMO did. VSR just shipped him the 'completed' longblock

wow, yeah they most likely didn't include it because it doesnt come in the nissan engine gasket kit, but they still should have or at least told you that was missing. I can imagine if you've never seen a rear main seal you wouldn't even know it was missing.
