Yeah no excuse to have had your motor for what a year? Not Acceptable. But the fact is you accept it and Sam gets away with it. GTM has a lot of potential as you can see by the work on OP's car but my gosh they can't run a business. A year long build isn't even needed to build a 1000+ GT-R. That was the only negative drag back from this thread is that OP has GTM products and work done on the car because I won't touch GTM. But I'm happy it worked for OP. Happy OP went N/A. Your the first to do this and had the balls to do so. Going boost isn't everything. Every car is boosted these days. Maybe I'll just do cams and heads and call it a day. That's if I get tired of saving for a GT-R.

Nice! Subd for future updates

Saw this car sitting at specialty z last week while I was getting my gears done, that mani is purty.

Were you the guy with the JDM 3.90 rearend?

GTM still know how to produce huh?....Great results.

wow .. so did you experince that urself or was that in someone's car u come across with ? talking about Nismo Oil pump ..

sorry i'm just trying to study these :)

It's from talking with guys who work on the grand am motors. call up jwt and ask them how long a nismo oil pump will last on a grand am car. If you want this kind of info all you have to do is call and ask it's not like its a big secret.

^ no need to call .. i just wanted to find out how did u know about it.
thank you sir, u just saved ma life lol .. i was considering getting one but not after this.

Yep, dry sump or at least an external oil pump is the way to go.

VQ oil pumps, and all known available "upgrades" are notoriously explosive when factory redline is regularly exceeded by more than a couple hundred RPM

can u elaborate on this ?

You can purchase an external oil pump which is actually the pressure stage of a multi-stage dry-sump pump.

Back in the early 90's, before I went dry-sump on my historic race car I used a gilmer drive pulley to drive an external pressure pump that pulled oil out of the sump, and then sent it thru the cooler and filter and back into the engine.

I'll search the web for a reference and update this page a bit later.

Nice build. I believe it has more in it for sure.

Awesome build you got there.

What occurred with the group buy and GTM was wrong but you can't deny their talent and products.
