Man i'm so glad and so sad at the same time after reading this.
I really was thinking about saving up some $ to get the Quad-Exaust from GTM because it looks so kool and unique ..... but then i don't think i will do that anymore It is sad that some one us have to go thru this kinda bullsh*t, and i do wish you guys the best of luck |
:wtf2:

For the record, if Sam/GTM is ever willing to get me an external waste gate conversion kit by mid/end of November '14 (as part of a rebuild image thing) then I'd be willing to remove my negative posts about them. But I think 5 months of waiting for that kit to the point the reseller I went thru gave up on them after having a lot of emails of them riding their asses over 5 months doesn't bode well for that happening. But if it did, we'll it would be a start on that road. It does ultimately suck to have less shops and less options - and face it there's a lot of cars out there with GTM setups; rip and replace is not exactly something I care to consider with AAM/Greddy (if they go back to selling HR kits), etc.

After reading more of this thread, I feel like I am fortunate to have received my TT kit and supplemental parts and received it in 3 months time. The car Gods must have been looking out for me big time.
I called Sam about every week after the first month about my parts. Maybe that helped. I've also learned that the best way to do business with GTM is to just order parts and have the install somewhere else. It seems everyone who takes their car there ends up waiting year(s). But then I am also reading about the "group buys" that have been screwed over. Thank Goodness I didnt get screwed over to that extent. I will say the fitment of the TT kit has left much to be desired and it seems they almost just got a kit "close" to release and then just said screw it and just released it. The fitment cost me $x,xxx alone in extra labor and $xxx in parts to fix the problems, and much of my own time fabbing and modifying the kit. I had to shave the universal steering coupler included in the kit because the turbo was grinding again the steering coupler. And there is still contact under load. I am having to install poly engine mounts to see if that fixes it. There is a rattle at low rpms because something else in the kit doesnt fit quite right. Several other parts did not fit quite right but I am willing to overlook the rest. Not only this, but it has also creating a high idle code and problem. I was told it was a flaw in the pre-throttle piping. (I was suppose to have received a "newer" version and I think i did?) Either way it has creating an idle problem that has been partially corrected through tune, but not completely. There is also an issue with airflow low in the RPMs under load at full WOT. The power is great. (See my sig. Stage 2 TT tuner kit) The engine bay appearance is beautiful. But all those shiny bells and whistles mean nothing if the overall driving experience is degraded and the number of issues it has has made my TT experience not as I would have wanted. Had I do it over again, I would have waiting on Greddy's or AAM's newer kits. |
Update, i got all of my $ back from GTM. The credit card co. Has refunded everything, now am 7 grand richer.
Ill probly buy titanium internals with this cash, then will see. |
Have no dog in the race, but as a GTM kit owner. I know it took 6 months for them to ship it, but I wasn't the one that had to wait. I'm happy with my little 8 psi stage 2 setup, but I will not purchase a product from them until it's ready to be shipped.
Take in mind they're plenty other options now for FI. http://www.myg37.com/forums/engine-d...of-buying.html |

i'll drop the F word too. Forged Performance has treated me right too. (yes we all know about the ******* GTR, and 350z TT swap).
but they haven't gotten 100% better after down sizing. |
I wanted to do GTR Intake manifold on my Z but I dont want to get the fittiment kit from GTM, anybody else makes the kit to fit the manifold on the Z?
