My 928 Motorsport experience.
I started a thread over on My350Z. I know there is alot of Vortech G35s out there, so I thought you guys might like this. here is the link.

A few weeks ago my Vortech bearings failed. I put my car up on jack stands and pulled the whole kit off to clean all the pipes, and send the blower away for a rebuild. I called up 928 Motorsports and spoke with a very nice woman who helped me get my rebuild order together. I sent it off and it arrived there within 3 days. I got the full rebuild and upgraded to the V+ impeller. One week later they sent my blower back to me. It came back within 1 week (today) due to the hoilday. First thing I noticed was the packing was done better than what I did. Upon spinning the pulley I noticed that the impeller was rubbing one side of the valute wall. I called them up and spoke with Carl. He told me that I could just send it back to him and he would take care of my cost or I could attempt this fix myself. If that didn't work out he would still let me send it back at no cost. I took off the Valute and cleaned it well then reinstalled it. My impeller now spins as it should. Thanks for the walk through Carl.
After a couple hours of putting everything back together, I poured in some Rotella T Syn 5w40 and fired it up. At first the car was idleing rough. I guess it's because It's been sitting without oil for a few weeks. I noticed some smoke and a burnt oil smell coming from the back of the motor. I think thats coming from the the rear driver side valve cover filter. I let it sit for about 10 minutes like this until the smoke cleared out. Then I went for a test drive. The car drove without any hicups. In fact it felt like it wants to pull alot harder than before in the lower RPMs. I didn't go WOT because I want to break it in first. In a few weeks I will be taking it to my tuner for some adjustments. I can't wait.
I want to thank everyone over at 928 Motorsports for there friendly customer service. They were very pleasing to talk to, and I'm happy to be back up and running. I highly recomend going to them for your Vortech rebuilds. I also opted for the 1 year warranty which Vortech did not offer me. I will post numbers up after my tune with before and after graphs.
