I would like the highest gains that are safe for the engine. I would not like to have the lifespan of the engine reduced by any significant amount. I do not want to have to take it to a tuner after the initial setup and install and initial tune. Basically I would like the overall reliability to remain while performance was greatly improved. Is this possible? Am I expecting too much? If I wanted 375+ rwhp, should I have bought a car that came that way from the factory? I would love to hear from GTM and Stillen about these questions. Thanks for your time and attention!

I don't think you are expecting too much, That is the way it should be and that is why we offer our GTM turn key so you can "set it and forget it " as you said .

-Our GTM Turn key solution whether TT or SC does not require a retune (maf tuning )

-Our engine management solution is done via flashing the factory ecu so basically you are getting the factory driveability just with a lot more power

Plus We are working on a good platform from the start, all those things will deliver what you are looking for and more ...All you have to do is just buy the GTM kit

As for Aussie, i cant believe Wiki says it's offensive LOL. That really cracks me up. I mean it really just is shortening "Australian" when you think of it.

cool thanks mate

i thought it was cool this whole time then when i saw that on wiki i was like "

" i felt like the *** end of a horse

Will this kit work with the Nismo? The reason I ask is because of the Strut that is up front.

How far off is this kit from a "shadetree" mechanic install?

I mean, I'm not some whiz-bang mechanic, but, I might be able to DIY...I guess it depends on if the engine and transmission has to be dropped...(I'm sure it does, the more I think about it...)

Also, sorry if I missed it, what's the price (PM if by policy) - lastly, will the 7AT handle this?

Motor and trans do not need to come out for the install. Every tech has different techniques, and tools that can make their own method quicker for installation on things like this, so you will see different ways of doing it from different shops. I do know first hand that the engine does not need to be removed for the installation on this, in fact my magic 8 ball tells me it was never even removed for the development of the TT kit.

So is the actual bumper plate still attached to the frame? Like if you got into small wreck would you still be able to drive it for a small distance or is it going to obliterate everything?

GingaBreadMan · 09-22-2009, 02:06 PM

Sam, great job with the kit. I can't wait for the full write-up. Was the Z bone stock when you started the installation? And will there be a difference if you TT a modded Z?

G37Sam · 09-23-2009, 08:34 AM

^ A TT'd Z becomes modded when you install that TT on it

i believe he means, exhaust, hfc, pulley and so on

G37Sam · 09-23-2009, 09:27 AM

Well HFC will restrict flow, so will a N/A 2.5" exhaust, which will all be replaced by 3" piping for better flow and performance

Your N/A headers will also have to go for the Turbo header

Stilllen Gen 3 Intakes will obviously have to go.

Pulley? Not sure that would be safe on a TT setup but don't quote me though but even if it were, I'd say 5whp throughout the powerband?
