Message Haven't taken any in several months, as I've been waiting for Tom (tt.net name T0M) at tdm-works.com to finish my intercoolers... he was having supplier issues, otherwise they would have been finished sooner. I'll post better pics later on, but today I was just messing around with my fisheye lens (and no flash, although after looking at them, I should have used it, and waited about 30 min for the sun to go down a little more).

First off, Tom's TIG welding work is absolutely incredible. I have never seen non-robot welding done so perfect. These IC's are 12x8x3, as garrett is out of 12x8x3.5" cores. Again, they are GARRETT cores, not Spearco, bell, etc. (more fins, and so fourth).

I was his first set and his "guinea pig", so I'm still working on bracket mounting issues with them (minor, but they mount up... like I said earlier, pics will follow in a few days).

Improvement? Holy S**T!@!!!@#!@#@ I have NEVER felt my car pull this hard EVER. It's like that "first boost on a cold morning" but all the time now... It's really hard to describe, other than the fact that I can't believe I didn't buy these sooner!!! They out flow the stillens too BTW... Check his website for more info ([ www.tdm-works.com ]) and his IC's are for sale in the classifieds. The first few sets of his SMIC's will have GARRETT cores (speak with him more on this, as this is just what he has told me).


And before someone asks, here's some answers..

*They are Mackin Gewalt Type-S 17x8.5/17x10 (12 years old)
*Battery is Odyssey PC535 (12lb) and yes, it's working fine.
*Screw you, I'm leaving the T-belt covers off.
*Yes, I know the match on the bumper isn't perfect, but yeah..it's not bad seeing as this silver isn't the original color of the car (so he couldn't use the paint code...this silver on my Z is actually a little darker than OEM, so he tried to match as best as he could)
*They are NYXmotorsport hoodmirrors.
*Exhaust is Courtesy Nissan (Top Speed) SS exhaust from whitepearlZ
*The camera is a Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 4.0MP
*Yes, I needed to shoot with less sun and more flash.

Ask/Flame away.. :)


Ok, anyway, on with the pics..









Current Z's:
1991 Silver Metallic TT 5spd
