Yeah Zack is the son. His dad and uncle work there and own it I assume. Everyone that we know that owns a shop deals with G&J. They have saved our butt on more then one occasion over the years.

Any updates on this interesting project?
I am particularly looking forward to hearing how the BW 300SX FMW performs, as I am considering the purchase of one myself shortly.

Well this project isn't dead it's still in the works and getting built. A lot has transpired since the last update I will post a bunch of pics when I get a chance. I ditched the stock lower intake manifold for the xcessive LIM. I did a nice port job and gasket match so it should flow a lot nicer then stock. I got a full wiring harness done by Eb turbo. He is an awesome guy and does amazing work. I ended up going Aem infinity with all supporting sensors and ready for flex fuel. I also went with the ign1 coils. Shine auto hooked it up with front fenders side skirts and rear over fenders. I just ordered evo-r headlights and I should be able to start the car by the end of the month. I have a bunch of pics and more story to tell but I will let the pics tell the story

I finished ordering the body panels for the car. I purchased a brand new Re amemiya ad9 hood with wet carbon gurneys. Both of those came in from Japan. I am waiting on my front bumper and diffuser from Ken at Shine. Those should be in the next couple weeks

Ok so I am back to working on this car again. I have been buying parts and putting things together for the past couple months. I don't have a ton of pictures but I will start updating with pictures as soon as I get a chance. Let me see if I can remember what has been done since the last post.
- I ordered and picked up the shine RE front bumper with all the carbon accents and carbon rear diffuser.
- I bought a FFE fuel rail to match the excessive lim
- I put AN fittings and nylon braided hose for the plumbing on the dual wastgates to the boost solenoid.
- I ordered and installed the Xecessive oil pan and oil filler neck. I should have a few extra quarts of oil capacity now with the added oil pan and bigger oil coolers.
- I ordered a radium catch can and I am going to run the dual -6AN to -8AN to the catch can
- I recently ordered the abs delete from Alex Rodriguez to clean up the engine bay even more.
- I ordered the mil spec harness from rywire. So now the main harnesses for the engine are all clean and mil spec.
The main things I need to get done are
- Have my fabricator finish my down pipe and mid pipe
He is going to make a custom bash bar so that the front bumper is attached with Dzeus fasteners on the under sides so that it looks good and is functional
- Finish up the little things on the engine bay that currently bother me. Then send her off to paint and get to working on the interior.
It is almost ready to get a tune. I will have a ton of pictures to come also some day I vids hopefully.
Happy holidays

I have been very busy with work but with the amount of parts stacking up I had to make time to start installing some of the parts. Thank to this holiday weekend and nice weather I started putting things together. I routed the new Rywire harness. I am very pleased with the quality of this harness. It looks to be very durable and very well made. Definitely worth the money. I don’t have pictures of the layout of the harness under the uim but I will post those later. While I was installing the harness I also installed the abs delete from Alex Rodriguez. It is incredible how much cleaner the engine bay looks without the abs assembly.
Here is a pic of laying out the harness
also I forgot to mention that I used AN lines for the wastegate lines. I wanted them to be less maintenance so I did them that way to avoid problems since they are in the vicinity of a lot of high temp components.
I also covered the wastegate lines nearest to the Downpipe in high temp sleeves. I did those on the lines and on the ignition wires I know hot hot rotaries can get and I am doing my best to shield fragile components. I also installed the radium catch can that I ordered. I have the excessive oil filler neck that I installed two -6AN fittings on from there I did a parallel y to a single -8AN. That was directly routed to the top of the radium catch can. The next things to do Is have my fabricator finish up my downpipe to midpipe to catback. Also have him redo my intercooler pipes. It is getting very close to being able to start. Then tuning and paint.
