dmhenderson's Nismo '12 GTM supercharged build thread where I freak out a lot

[dmhenderson]

So I'm gonna go with boost, AFR and oil pressure for now with the option to re-add oil temp later on once I figure out where I want to mount the 4th gauge.

GTM received everything back from the powder coater today and as I type this, my supercharger is somewhere in the air on its way to Maryland.
Edit: And I sprung for the vented fender liners because I'm not upgrading the radiator just yet.

Should bug Uprev again and see if they can get access to the computer that runs the screen on the left of the rpm/speed/etc gauge cluster. Get it to tap into the car and just output oil temp or other things the ECU reads from factory, would be really nice.

Laffo. GMT screwed up and shipped me a twin (!!!) supercharger instead of the one I ordered. No, I don't get to keep it.

Hopefully won't disrupt my timeline.

Gauges arrived today. Pictures forthcoming.

That's a pretty big "whoops" considering how much more the twin kit costs over the single.

[dmhenderson]

Sam said Fedex grabbed the wrong box. He called me kinda panicky and said they were trying to re-route it but that the shop should refuse it if it's accidentally delivered.

At first I said, "Gee I dunno Sam, I think I might keep it"

EDIT FOR CLARITY: I am not considering keeping the kit. That would be douchebaggy and as much as I'd like to, I don't think I could live with myself. It'd be stealing.

I couldn't be that much of a ****. Plus that kit probably belongs to someone here on the forums.

As much fun as it is to think about, I couldn't ever actually do it.

Turns out what they shipped me was (to quote Sam), "An overdrive twincharger for a G-37 in Canada". Unfortunately, they didn't ship my SC until a day later so they may screw up my install timeline now which makes me unhappy.

Day 0:

Dropped off the car at Moore Automotive in Fairfax. We took the headlights with us to make a few tweaks while the car is under the knife:

Well the SC install is "now" so anything I do will be after this. I will very likely do some drag strip stuff at 75-80 but I dunno how much I want to push the car on a track-track like Summit until I get a feel for how the motor is doing.

[dmhenderson]

GTM was not able to expedite the shipping so the kit won't arrive until tomorrow essentially costing me 2 days against my timeline. Not even an apology from them and the only phone call they ever made to me after they got my money was when they accidentally shipped me that twincharger and wanted to make sure they got it back (which I did because I'm nice like that).

Hopefully this product lives up to the hype because it was a pretty negative buying experience.

Anyway, the kit should arrive some time tomorrow and we can get started.

I wouldn't have your timeline too set in stone for something like this. Builds always take longer than expected.
