Nice to see a company stepping up to the plate and fixing the issue!

LiquidZ · 04-10-2010, 11:29 AM

Thanks Sam! We appreciate it.

djpathfinder · 04-11-2010, 03:21 PM

Yeah, they look seriously heavy duty.

Sam called me at home to imform me what was going on with the lines, and that the new lines that he is having made up will take car of the issues.
I aprectiated his phone call. for now i have peace of mind.
He is a vvery good friend and a runs a shop that stands up for its products and workmenship.

Oh I'm sure GTM will be getting this whole mess sorted out i just needed new lines NOW and i figured while i'm at it i might as well get the best of the best, almost guaranteed never to fail, could probably use them as a torque link, lines while i was fixing it so i won't have to worry about the freak of nature that is an A/N line failure now matter how old the kit gets(well i know i may have a problem like 50+ years down the road but I probablly won't be able to drive by then).

I agree with the statement of needing them NOW. LOL My Z has been up on jack stands since the 9th of March. Granted, I had some "difficulties" getting the old lines to Sam (he received them on the 31st of March). I am itching to get her running again and go for a ride!

I'm out 70 bucks in redline oil and 75 plus tax for the tow. I'll figure out what happened first before i got to in depth. Oil light came on with about 2 some quarts of oil left.

Your one lucky dude, being you were not driving 10/10th's at the track or bascially had this happen to you in an area where there is no cell service to get the car towed back home. Look at it this way better it happened when it did rather then in another situation. Still loosing oil on the road an greasing up the tires on the road is not something I would want someone else to experience. Had this happen to my datsun 510 and bascially wrote it off after that.

got my reimbursement from Sam at GTM today for my tow and oil and stuff proving once again that GTM is an A class place that is there for their customers and stands behind their product. Big thanks to GTM and i wish them the best. I will definitely continue to business with them in the future.

RCZ · 05-07-2010, 10:48 AM

I gotta say that's pretty cool of them to pay for your tow and oil.

semtex · 05-07-2010, 12:34 PM

GTM is a class act, definitely.

TipsZ · 05-07-2010, 02:16 PM

It's been almost 2 weeks since the re-install with the new GTM oil lines. No issues thus far. Going to check for leaks this weekend but I do not expect to find any.

abakja1 · 05-09-2010, 04:10 PM

Design question here,..but I dont see why they just dont make the AN fitting or pressed part longer in length so as to add more strength or areas of contact (crimp) so that there is less chance of bursting?

Anyways,..I got lines with fittings made by Mike,..they look really good too. But since I just did my first oil change at 1500 miles, Im going to do regular 3000mile oil changes till there is more certainty with this problem...
