Im Pissed About My Car!

We did a leak down and compression after it came in to make sure and everything was perfect.
The stuff that we did this time around was cosmetic for the most part, except for the exhaust and intercooler sprayers.

^ Dude I highly appreciate everything you said... However, Tim is doing a lot of the troubleshooting, etc @ his own expense. I get exactly what your saying but to answer your question, Yes the car was running b4 the nitrous was installed and the cosmetic work. After whatever work was done, no the car is not running. The reason for me posting this thread wasnt to put Speed Force or Tim on blast. Hes a great friend and Speed Force is a great shop. I wouldnt go any other route. $hit happens when you mod and thats understandable. Aslong as in the end, everything is fixed and the car runs like it was supposed to then thats all that matters. Thanks for looking out for me man I reallly do appreciate it.

This is not correct Kamal. We checked it because you said it wasnt shifting firmly enough,etc.......So we just did an inspection on it and all was good.It needed a little more fluid but that was about it.It shifts fast and hard now.

Yes it was.The oil line is a mechanical thing and Kamal caught it before anything bad happened.So no it doesnt make sense why this problem occured.

Also why is HE being charged to troubleshoot the problem? It seems obvious to me that SOMETHING was done this time around to make the car not run, theres no magic here. I dont care if it was cosmetic! SOMETHING was done wrong and thats not HIS fault! I really have no intrest in this thread except to see a fellow g35 driver get his car back on the road. Kamal I really think you need to think this whole thing through!
Kamal is not being charged. But I do want to say something........we are absolutely sure that this current problem is not one we created.The only thing electrical that was ever done by us on this car was to install an FTC,Profec-E-01 and some gauges.We did not install the power invertor,playstations,DVD player and screens,turbo timer or any other electronics.The FTC and gauges was installed two years ago so it is pretty obvious this is not a problem and the only other thing we installed was the Profec-E-O1 and that was about a year ago so it is apparent that the electrical stuff we did is not an issue. And just to be sure we removed everything that we installed and the same problem still exists.
Wow that sucks.
I wish you the best of luck finding the problem.
Don't sell the car, that thing is HOT!
Those twin IC's look like what should have been offered for the G from all the big boys!

aright guys so the car is still poopies... Basically there is an electrical interference with all the ps2 and tvs. Tim disconnected my power invertor and that seemed to the trick. The SS box was disconnected also and we put in the stock injectors. The car ran perfect like stock so he plugged all the aftermarket stuff back and boom, that did the trick and the car was bad again. He went over the wiring again over and over and disconnected everything and connected everything 1 by 1. The way it stands: the turbo timer, power invertor and boost controller (greddy e01) are all disconnected. Hes working his way backwards to see what he can do and well its still the waiting game. Tim has been awesome with everything and I reallllly realllly appreciate his patience with the car. We thought:
1. The car is possessed.
2. There is a leperchaun in the dash that disconnects something after Tim connects it
If there is a leperchaun then, and in Tims words, "We will yank that fvcker out and cut his d*ck off with a plasma cutter!" haha
I doubt both theories are true but lets see what happens. Their really close to a solution so like I said, its a waiting game. Im happy progress is being made and when I get my car back, IT WILL BE BITCHEN! anyways guy, I appreciate everyones interest and input. Please keep posted and I will update everyone as soon as I get word...
