I agree, someone in Texas needs to jump on this so we can all come and see it.

I like what you did with the recirc, clever placement!

Got any pictures with the bumper on??

Good pricing too, its exactly what I expected.

Few quick questions...

1) Which trim is that in the picture? Looks like a tight squeeze already, wondering how the bigger ones will fit?

2) 90* elbow after a flattened intake tube and two 90* elbows on the way to the intercooler?

3) Hydrolocking concerns with the filters at the lowest point on the car?

4) Does that oil cooler sit behind the stock bumper?

5) What kind of dyno? What did the stock 370z put down on it?

6) Spellcheck

Hey Sam

Great work! Any ideas whether this will fit RHD cars?

cheers
Jamie

JB-370z · 03-01-2010, 08:39 AM

Sam you are going to sell tons of kits!!! Well done. As far as the Nissan aftermarket goes, I think I would take you guys for parts over stillen any day of the week. Masterminds in the Nissan/infiniti market, pure genius, congrats!

m4a1mustang · 03-01-2010, 08:39 AM

Raul,

My guess is going to be that hydrolock isn't much of a concern. Even with the "bulkheads" removed I don't think spray is going to be a big problem (the filters are far enough off into the corner of the bumper area that it's going to be tough for a significant amount of spray to make it's way over there.

I'm sure it will be fine unless you drive through deep water.

As for 2... I think you're right. Probably not ideal but my guess is it's the best solution possible given the space available.

well done

WOW!

Good work Sam

I am actually very happy to eat my words from my previous predictions. I did not expect this kit to come in at 5K but I am very happy that it did. Damn it Sam, Now I am going to have to re-think the whole SC vs TT setup again after I thought I had my mind made up. I love how clean it looks under the hood and it sounds really sweet! Either way I go, without question GTM is getting my money!

I am very impressed with the results at stage1 on stock exhaust.

Let me add, NICE machine work! I am very impressed!

Yeah man, my bumper is less than 4 fingers off the ground... 6" of water and that lower intake is submerged. I have seen waaaay deeper puddles around here. I'm just thinking what would happen if I had no choice but to go through something deep?

And yes, it was the best solution...if you put the sc there.

You shouldn't be driving in 6" of water. In fact, I can't imagine driving in 6" of water, and I live in Oklahoma where we get *significant* amount of water dumped at one time, and with a high-clay soil, it doesn't soak in, it makes rivers and such.

Still, 6" of water is half way to the hub!

DannyGT · 03-01-2010, 09:24 AM

Nice, I'm in!

shumby · 03-01-2010, 09:29 AM

hey Z if you are talking to Sam again get him to get me an e-mail he has my address. I cannot call him as I am in russia. I want the preposal he promised me. Really excited now

kdoske · 03-01-2010, 10:22 AM

This is awesome

I wonder why the pics are not loading. If I quote sam and copy and paste the actually links into another window they load fine....

I have one question though with the oil relocation kit. It looks like the oil filter would be right against the bottom engine cover. What happens when someone uses a sandwich plate for the oil an oil cooler, which is pretty much a guaranteed item?

Suddenly I am interested.

edit: My only real worry would be an installer on the east coast that is close.
