Quick update but not much new to report:
-Headers have been titanium wrapped.
-Gauges installed
-ECU serial given to GTM for custom tune

Still waiting on the damn part from Nissan. Shop has promised me a few more pictures this afternoon.

Great to see this coming along! Excited to see power numbers after its all together

I really hate these non-updates but I spoke to the shop and the bracket/bolt is supposed to be delivered this morning. They are estimating monday/tuesday for completion.

A couple people from my car club are actually going to dyno/tune their cars there this weekend so I'm sure they'll get to see the progress firsthand which is kinda neat.

Dana and Jay have the appointment so I'm sure you could head down there with them if you wanted.

I won't be there but my car will.

i'm just kidding man lol i'm interested in seeing what you car puts down though.

[dmhenderson]

You and me both. I actually have the luxury of having tuned the car on the same dyno when the exhaust and HFCs went on so I'll be able to measure all the way from bone stock to FI which is kinda neat.

Any update?

[dmhenderson]

At long last, the car is going back together. Everything is installed, up and running. Test fitting the bumper with the brake ducts proved to be an issue (which I freaking told them would be a problem from the juimp and was told "we'll figure it out").

Gave them a couple suggestions - either route left brake duct into oil cooler once mesh grille is in place - including the ducts or go to home depot and buy some extra piping and make it fit.

Either way, looking at a finish/tune tomorrow or Fri so I'll be seeing the MAZOC folks on Sat.

Woot! Can't wait!

[dmhenderson]

So just a quick update. The problem wasn't the duct piping but the duct itself running into the oil cooler. As such, the cooler is going to be relocated which isn't a big deal but we'll be cutting it close to get it done by Saturday. If everything goes as planned, Chris, the guys from Daedalus Customs and I are going to head over there tomorrow afternoon to check out the tuning process and get the headlights put back in. Keep your fingers crossed folks.

Edit: I get the distinct impression that the guys at Moore are fed up with me/this build as it has been somewhat of a headache (also I'm neurotic and call them daily) so props to them for tolerating me/the car.
