Love that GTM badge. One of the last mohican.

 

Yeah us HR brethren don't have to worry about VVEL messing up high rpms.

Are you doing this on the stock oil pump??

 

 

And glad to hear you and your family made it through the hurricane safely. Hopefully you won't see another one like that in your lifetime.

 

Epic build, did you order that sport bumper through infiniti or nissan?

 

The bumper was bought on eBay, but came from an Infiniti dealership.

 

As I've mentioned before I started tuning my car on Uprev by myself since the head lifted back in November and now that I am getting close to the rebuild I wanted to get the car on the dyno to get some numbers for the tune. A friend recently had his car retuned at DD Performance Research which has a 4wd dynojet. I originally intended to hit up both DD and Kozmic on the same day to have comparisons between DD's dynojet and Kozmic's mustang dyno, but another friend went ahead and put his car on DD's dyno first as he originally had his car tuned at Kozmic. His car made 380whp on Kozmic's mustang dyno and 382whp on DD's dynojet. Seeing as how there was only a whopping 2whp difference between the two dynos I decided to not even have my car run at Kozmic.

Here are the results for my self tune on 93 at 14.5psi:


Smoothing 5 applied:


The tune needs a little more work, but at this point I'm calling it good as I will start a new tune from scratch once the new motor is put in. I'm pretty stoked that my tune was pretty much able to match the numbers that the car previously made on 93 and Jtran's tune.

 

Custom 10:1 pistons have arrived! The previous Main Engineer for Arias pistons formed his own company - Traum Optimum Performance - and took our specs from the 3.7 crank/rods and made us these pieces of art. The closed deck block is going to be sent out for bore and hone at the end of the month and assembly of the new bottom end should start in December. If everything goes well the new heart will be transplanted in January 2018 and the (first?) 2007 G37 will come into existance.

 

Very nice build. I enjoyed reading over it.

 

Hey man, nice to see another TT brother. I got lots of good inspiration from your thread, maybe I should write my own.

Anywho, this tidbit might help with your driveshaft issues:
Two-Piece Driveshaft Technology - Hot Rod Network

The problem is that G's are too long for a one piece, which is why Nissan switched from a one-piece in the Z. Changing to CF like you mentioned should help, I wouldn't trust aluminum with the power you're putting down.

 

Definitely, would love to see what all you've done with NeverBoneStock's kit! The driveshaft is on the back burner for now and I will try to revisit it maybe later this year. Currently more focused on getting the new block done and switching TT kits, which should start to happen in about 3 weeks.

 

What a friggin build man!

 

First week of 2018 has started rolling, here are a few updates of where version 2 of the build is.

Closed deck block came back from the machine shop after bore & hone


Measured for bearings


Tested piston height


Obtained a used Fast Intentions TT kit to put on the car - order has been placed for Xona Rotor 65.64 (Stage 3) Turbskies and a few misc parts


Here's to a more active 2018 after a year or so 'off' of prep! I wonder if we will be able to make it in time for TX2K..

 

Nice!!!!

 

A little behind estimated timeframe, but I finally received the rest of the parts needed for Version 2.0 of the build. Motor should be dropping next week, no solid ETA on when everything will be reassembled yet but things will finally be moving.
