It wasn't the one I planned on using, but that one is kinda screwed :disapointed:.

Finally got a lot of work done under the bay:

IMAG0732_zps2116e9bf.jpg

-Polished Timing Cover.
-Main Harness Tucked.
-RareJDM Harness Cover
-UR Underdriven pulley kit (w/accessory pulley)
-Mishimoto Blue Hose kit

I also did:

-Front & rear Differential oil
-Transfer case oil
-Transmission oil drain and fill
-Coolant flush

The guys over at MNR (A local VQ specialty shop) also did the UpRev tune on my car. Results:

All the mods added up for 253AWHP, and 237 torques.

The tune itself added 27 to each of those numbers, and the car just feels soooo much better now.

Headed down to Nissan Fest tomorrow, so I will have good pictures up in the next few.

:congrats::congrats: Those number are really good. Love the engine bay make over. What's your opinion on the UR Underdrive pulleys? I had them on my FX35 and I love it. I honestly felt the gain at acceleration from stop.
 
Your engine bay looks so nice and well done on the power gains.
 
Unfortunately I got the underdrive pulley put on at the same time as the tune. So I don't know where to attribute the difference. The shop did say it does tend to help. So overall I'm not disappointed.

I did get to hold both pulleys in my hands though and the UR pulley is remarkably lighter. I couldn't believe the heft behind the OE pulley.
 
If I remember right, the UR Underdrive pulley is about 1.6 lb. The stock pulley is about 6 lb.
 
Those are some great numbers on a AWD tranny too. Guess I can "assume" I have similar gains after a UPREV tune :tongue:.

FX is looking fantastic Meme!
 
Nice gains, I def gotta get an uprev tune soon. That engine bay is looking fresh as well, great job
 
Looks good, I like the polished timing cover. So why did you use the RareJDM harness cover if you tucked the main harness? Or is one of the harnesses still there since AWD's have 2?

AWD's do have two harness's, but both were tucked, so there is nothing under that cover.

Truth is I had it (I bought it awhile ago) so I put it on. Its not really necessary, but it does eliminate that gap that is normally visible between the timing cover and the lower collector. So I think it will stay.
 
Wow...Car looks awesome man!! Where did you get the RareJDM Harness cover? I was looking for one a few years ago and couldn't find one anywhere.
And what did the shop charge you for the Uprev tune??

Thanks!

TUne was $550. That includes the license, dyno time, and the two guys crawling all over my car making sure it was perfect.

The RareJDM Harness cover I purchased from ConceptZ.

Check them out they keep a lot of rare parts in stock, and if you see something thats out of stock or something you want shoot them an email, they might be able to get it for you.

Cool thx man...that is not bad for the tune. I was quoted $1200 here in California, so I never did it. And thx, I always wanted that harness cover!!
 
Harness cover pops up on my350Z and G35driver regularly. Not every day, but it's never too much of a wait. I picked mine up from there for cheap.
