Just been fighting the power steering pump for the last two hours.... Align, bolt up, un bolt and realign, Rinse and repeat...

Just talked to Fezzik who did his own G37 and he had the same problem I am having with the spacer. I am just going to make a narrower one like he did. We tried to loosen things just to have them then be blocked by the power steering pulley. So it looks like I will be going the custom spacer route. Should have things running by the end of tomorrow...

The power steering bracket from GTM was too small but we used an old racer trick to make it work until GTM can get me the right bracket.


Got the last of the intercooler piping left to do, then the oil cooler, and she will be ready to be fired up...
