On a brighter note! who else is super excited and doing the install themselves? Think I'll try get it all done in 1 weekend.

NeverBoneStck · 08-07-2013, 02:49 AM

Starting to see the cracks ......

Alstann · 08-07-2013, 07:40 AM

I'm gonna be installing myself! My car is actually on stands and completely stripped apart, ready for the turbo kit to be installed. It's great having a beater car to drive around town.

I'm gonna be planning to install the kit over a months time, It'll give me time to work with school and my job, as well as make sure I have all my extra parts in order.

We are proud to introduce our new line of Twin Turbo Kits for the 370Z based on the venerable Mitsubishi Heavy Industry turbocharger line up. These turbos are water cooled and oil lubricated journal bearing turbos with a great track record of reliability, performance and value. Available with our kits are three different turbo options: 16g (600hp), 18g (700hp), and 20g (900hp). All three turbo options cost the same. Since the VQ37VHR is such a great engine, the 16g and 18g options are great for stock motor builds while the 20g is the way to go for built engine, high horsepower setups.

Since this kit was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, it is the only turbo kit that retains the factory crash bar. Also, there are no permanent modifications that have to be done to the car to install and run this kit successfully with outstanding performance. In addition, the engine can remain in the vehicle for installation.

As usual, we offer our kits in two basic forms: Turn-Key and Tuner. Our Turn-Key kits come with our GTM Spec ECU flash and upgraded fuel system components. These kits are designed to deliver a complete package that can be installed on a car and perform flawlessly out of the box. Our Tuner Kit, on the other hand is a complete kit that gives the end user the freedom to choose whatever engine management and fuel system components they prefer.

Below are the components included in our Turn-Key Kit.

Cast Ductile Iron Exhaust Manifolds
Pre-Bent Stainless Steel Heat Shields
Exhaust Manifold Install Hardware Kit
4-Ply High Resistance Nomex Silicon couplers
Stainless Steel T-Bolt clamps
Twin 3" x 12 x 12 Bar and Plate Core Intercooler Rated at 900hp (combined)

Just to Clarify....

Is the group buy option still available?

"This pricing will no longer be available once these kits are on the shelf and ready to ship. This is on a first come, first serve basis and the closing date of this offer will be determined in the next couple weeks."

This makes me think so, but a quick phone call to Mike or Sam at GTM would answer all of your questions. A phone call, not PM or email. I've had issues emailing/PMing them, but they answered the phone every time I've called them.

SPOHN · 08-07-2013, 08:42 AM

Just call them. You will still get the price. I talked to them every other day.

Thinking I'll take this on myself, however I am not sure on the clutch/flywheel install as I dont have appropriate tools or space...

My .02 on the clutch and flywheel. Take it to a dealer (I don't say that very often).

If/when the master cylinder fails during install, they will warranty it out. There is also a service bulletin out for GTR Dot 4 brake fluid replacement for the Z's so this will cover your cost of fluid as well. These two things alone save you ~$200 and can make up for a good portion of the labor cost.

COSMO · 08-07-2013, 12:31 PM

What do you talk to them every other day about? Sounds like a romance in the making... lol Maybe that's where I went wrong with mike... hmm...

I don't hang on nuts. I hug them. Lol.

Seriously I have some upgrades and working on some custom things and Mike has helped me a lot with very small things and proper tech info. Besides Z1, GTM has been about the only other shop willing to give there time with no rushing to get me off the phone.

SPOHN · 08-07-2013, 01:39 PM

Everyone serves there purpose.

Harry,

You are being very disrespectful and certainly do not know us well enough to be making that kind of statement. We have been very courteous to you and professional with you throughout all our business transactions. We are not "blowing you off" as you describe. Every time you call, we answer. Every time you had a request on anything, we reply to you. We are in the business of selling parts and taking care of customers. Why would we blow you off?

When you bought a Blitz boost controller online from another vendor and you were hitting 40psi of boost, you thought it was defective and bought another one from yet another online vendor. Then, when it did the same thing, you called us up and Sam walked you through installing it correctly. We helped you with a part that you didn't even buy from us and you have the nerve to imply that we have poor customer service? Really?

When you called to get our exhaust and complained about the price and the lead time, I told you that we are going to be getting our mandrel bender up and running and will be able to offer our exhaust to you at a better price with a faster turnaround. I told you that when we get it up and running that I would get in touch with you to let you know. You would call up every couple weeks asking the same question. I mean, I can only tolerate being a broken record for so long.

When you asked me about the meth kit, it was late in the afternoon on a Friday and I had an instruction manual that I needed to finish up for a customer and I explained to you that I needed to get that done. I also told you that you can purchase the kit from our website and it would be faster for you to do it that way rather than having me put a quote together for you. Considering that you are perfectly capable of purchasing two Blitz boost controllers from other vendors online, I honestly don't know what is holding you back from purchasing the methanol kit from our website.

Our customer support is unparalleled in this industry and there is always someone to talk to when you call and we are just a phone call away. If we don't meet your standards, I'm sorry. There is only so much we can do.

Ultimately, this is a thread about our new turbo kit and this isn't really the place for this sort of discussion. If you want to continue, please start a different thread.

-Mike

Alright mike since you have finally decided you untuck your tail from between your legs lets get the facts straight.

1. My car was never boosting at 40 psi because it is not possible. That you should already know but I understand your a desk and phone guy.
2. I never complained about the pricing because sam had discounted the other items I purchased besides my TT kit and I was hoping he would do the same for an exhaust.
3. You have blown me off on the phone when my drivers side turbo came shipped Unclocked which too me a lot longer to do the install and making me have to fab a part to make it work. I was just trying to figure out why things were not lining up and you swore it wasn't gtm's fault when in fact it was.
4. I called and spoke to you about a meth kit because you guys went about installing it into the intake ports instead of the intake tubes and before I ordered I wanted more info on that. Again you blew me off and I heard nothing.
5. 5 years ago I spent over 10k on a built motor from your company and with what I have spent currently on my 370z Iam over 20k.
6. I ordered your 3 inch down pipes about you assured me it would bolt up to any 2.5 exhaust and later I found that was not true and had to have a reducer welded in to make it fit. That's why I have been sending emails and calling about your 3' exhaust.

So if your asking me why I not so happy with your place of business it is because I have invested in your company over the past 5 years only to be blown off and disrespected in the process. You can get on here and act like the perfect business but the fact is after money is spent with gtm customer service go downhill. I know I don't speak for everyone here and but business relationship started good with you guys too at the beginning. The truth is you guys are getting Too big for your own good and customer support is lacking. You guys have way too many things going on when you cant even keep up with your existing items your selling. What does that say? Sugar coat it anyway you like mike but there are the facts.
Good luck to your 100+ people who ordered the kit who will need customer support..
