Bastard, I just got mine in yesterday. I will prolly install them and the WW kit next week!

ICEMAN99TURBO · 01/04/2007, 03:15 PM

Yea, Cams would be nice, but not much use without F/I and I am not going to dump $10K into my 3G, when I can wait a bit and dump it into...

ARACHNO · 01/04/2007, 07:43 PM

well actually its evos and 350z...

ICEMAN99TURBO · 06/13/2007, 08:30 PM

Newest Mod...Just came in the mail, will have pictures when I install it this weekend.

Mr. Grillie Grill Insert.

I was thinking of painting black, with a Diamond Star in the middle, but that has already been done. So I will prob just paint it black and call it good.

Anyway, stay tunned, a little bigger install is going down in 2 weeks.

That grill will look nice painted black.

ICEMAN99TURBO · 06/17/2007, 04:41 PM

Just got my new grill installed, and shot some pics out in the yard. Enjoy.

I think this shot turned out just nice with the flag and all.

CLIPSE_GT · 06/17/2007, 08:34 PM

I like it black Jeremy. Looks very good!

Kai · 06/17/2007, 11:59 PM

back on topic though Nice Eclipse looks even better in person

I stll need pics of yours so i can add it to my wallpaper on my cell!!!

4g63lover · 06/18/2007, 01:57 AM

looks perfect!

ICEMAN99TURBO · 07/06/2007, 08:19 PM

Well, my big install is done.

My switch over from my OEM GT-P Intake manny to the Diamante manifold and 65 mm Throttle body. Here are a few pics from the install, and then the finished product are below.

The main install took place at the MI Install Meet back in the middle of June. Dave (Dr. 9023G) came up from OH and gave a hand on the install. It was a fairly quick install with only a couple of things that went wrong...A bolt twisted off and a stud wasn't long enough for a bracket, not a big deal.

The car made it home fine with no codes or problems at all, and the throttle responce was noticed as soon as she was started, it was beautiful...Kind of afraid that she is going to suck more gas though, but as long as I stay out of her, I shouldn't have any problems.

After I got her home, it was time to address some of the issues that had happend during the install that I couldn't take care of at Nate's house. Also, she threw a code by this time, it was a P1400 (Manifold Differential Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction ). I found this out by going to Advanced Auto and having them read it, since I haven't bought a OBD2 code reader yet....Again easy fix, funny thing is I wanted to change the sensor out at the meet, but was told that the one that was in the D-mani would be just fine.

Another thing that was a pain and I didn't like, was how the battery and the CAI were way too close and rubbed a lot. This prob would also be addressed, along with a tad bit more grinding since the TB still rubbed against the firewall.

Here are some pics of the install as Iwas addressing my problems.

Testing out the TB to make sure I have enough clearence after painting

Here you can see the difference between my INJEN elbow compaired to the one Dave sent me, which is AEM. A lot closer tolerance.

Another prob was rubbing the firewall and strut tower bar.

Here is a pic of the area I had to grind out....In which I had to sand down the bar and repaint.

Finished up on the 4th, since I worked all week, it was the only day I had time to work on her.

..For the broke bolt and short stud, I will be making an appt. with my dealer to have my mechanic remove and retap that are for me.

Have to keep them in business too. I also have to put the rest of my intake together, but durning the install one of the rubber hangers were damaged so I have one on the way...Shorty for a bit.

00TampaBlueGS · 07/06/2007, 08:31 PM

I don't know how you pull off the Sportline springs with the WW kit. I have the ProKit on my ride, and I'm switching over to Tein H. Techs. It's just too much struggle to avoid the scraping.

Car looks GREAT, though! Well done, Jeremy. I hope to make it there sometime soon. Perhaps I'll see it in person.

(B2N bound? I'll try.)
