Lets keep in mind Sam@GTM posts on the forums AND turns wrenches...

From what I gather, he always picks up the phone, so get your update there.

DarkZide 07-20-2010 10:38 AM

It would be faster to make 1 30 second post rather than answer 75 phone calls. :icon14:

shumby 07-20-2010 03:08 PM

Actually Sam has his phone on him 24rhs a day this i know for a fact. His shop does not have a sales department with salesmen with little knowledge of the product other then the price like stillen does. The formes are not the best place to contact him. I spent 2 weeks working with Sam in his shop and there is not one guy there that has spare time. When you do get Sam online it is usually one of his meny days that he is at the shop until midnight or later. Drop him a line give him a call. he will be more then happy to talk to you.

RCZ 07-20-2010 03:29 PM

That's wonderful, where are the damn results?

m4a1mustang 07-20-2010 03:35 PM

It probably would be a good idea to have a dedicated sales/marketing guy, though. Just sayin'. :stirthepot:

RCZ 07-20-2010 03:51 PM

I was going to post about that, but didnt want to feed the fire. I mean, why wouldnt Sam do EVERYTHING?

Why wouldnt you want someone who is building turbo/sc kits pulling all nighters?

But you could argue that it'd increase consumer confidence and boost sales. :tup:

shumby 07-20-2010 04:06 PM

his kit will boost sales. unlike fake numbers posted by the compitition.

Raise the price and no one would've bought this kit.

shumby 07-20-2010 04:09 PM

^^^ beg to differ. at least the kit delivers what it promises

shumby 07-20-2010 04:09 PM

where are the numbers for the SC from stillen with the smaller pully and lower tune?

TBH I dunno until I see Dreamer's dyno graph!!!

And yes, I am eagerly awaiting Stillen's response to their issues (which I am sure will be very detailed, as usual).

W.O.W. 370Z 07-20-2010 04:14 PM

You people sound like a bunch of women, all worried about what the other person has. This is pathetic.

Grow a sack and worry about your own cars.

Rant over...


Continue ladies... :)

theDreamer 07-20-2010 04:14 PM

My dyno is coming soon guys.

More like 6psi.

shumby 07-20-2010 04:29 PM

^^^^^ ahahahahahahahaha. the leak. if you can call it that was actually at 30 PSI. when pressure testing the componants.

bullitt5897 07-20-2010 05:04 PM

Wow haha this thread really derailed lmao...

Anyway for those people commenting on why Sam isnt on here posting to every person's little questions... its because he is working on my car!!! I dont care what you SC'er wannabe's think my car first then your wimpy 500hp projects! LMAO j/p...

In all seriousness Sam and team are working to the bone to finish their projects. If you want answers Call/Email/Smoke Signal them I dont care! Just stop this nonsense Keyboard Cowboy BullSh*t! Give these guys time to finish the project without you little B*tches getting your panties all up in a wad.


Ohhh and BTW I have the GTM Stage 40 Tampons! sooo yeah I have some heavy flo!

Zsteve 07-20-2010 05:29 PM

I'm really done derailing this thread, but I wasn't talking about either one of your cars.

shumby 07-20-2010 05:40 PM

^^^^ you keep going though. You are as bad or worse then the rest of us. Stop trying to seem like you are higher up. lol. I have an excuse i do this for entertainment while offshore. Whats yours?

I think he likes getting railed every once in a while and derails threads so he can get railed again... I heard him talking about "team RAMROD" the other day and I was like :wtf2:

DarkZide 07-20-2010 06:43 PM

"Sam" himself mentioned they were trying to iron out the install instructions. He has also blatantly missed 2 dates in which he said he would provide results.

Not dogging him specifically, but i've seen way too many companies in the automotive aftermarket world promise this and that and never deliver. Or deliver late with a huge markup because of "unforseen circumstances".

You get a product completed, and bring it to market. Don't blur the lines and pretend its ready. Much like Berk can't get exhausts out because of holdups.

Price is..well..what it is. Nothing for a 370z is cheap. I'm not sure why everything for this car costs 4-10 times more than domestic car parts, but they do. :confused:

bullitt5897 07-20-2010 07:14 PM

DarkZide do you do much heavy modification to cars?

Often companies will release a product that is by their knowledge 100%... They test on the platform they have available to them for the time frame in which they have that platform. A supercharger for this car is not an easy task and GTM has stepped up to the plate designed a kit installed several already on the VQ37 platforms. Now with any build large or small there is bound to be hiccups (this is not in any way an excuse but rather a reality check). Sam and team have not marked up the kit and they have delivered working vehicles. This one vehicle seems to have a few hiccups that they have to trouble shoot and if your in this type of industry you know that it can be very frustrating and take alot of your time fixing little gremlins. I work on motorcycles and you want to talk about price... how about a "works" radiator for an R1... that costs $7500+ for a small 6" radiator extension!!!! Dont complain about the price because the price for these kits is on the same level if not cheaper than a kit for say the mustang or camaro!

Try buying parts for a Honda S2000 I spent nearly $10k on a N/A car and only got 50rwhp more out of the engine! The Z is a great platform and is cost effective to say the least! If you think our parts are expensive then go buy another car and modify it.

NYBladeZ 07-20-2010 07:33 PM

I reserve judgment on GTM's kit but its still disappointing that they are only running oem headers and cats and still not making that much boost. The VQ motor cannot be the one lone exception where greater exhaust flow actually loses power. I know Sam is a workaholic hopefully he will be able to address these issues.

shumby 07-20-2010 07:46 PM

^^^^ why are they not making boost. where was that stated? I chose to go with the 6psi pully, this was because i did not want more then 350 tq on my tranny. the kit does get 8 PSI. I choise not to go fulll out. nowhere no how did anyone state they did not or cannot get 8 PSI.


Only stillin is issuing a recall to downsize the pully and tone down the tune. NOT GTM

shumby 07-20-2010 08:40 PM

posted today on the G37 site.

Bullit is correct, the instructions are being finished up and as each new kit goes out things are being fine tuned. Though as with Shumby's build, another G37 and my own almost done we can see things coming slowly, it may not be as fast as some of you expected but patience can be rewarding.
