GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

Q8y_drifter · 03-24-2011, 06:42 AM

Valve body upgrade will help speed up the shifting which in turn does not heat up the trans oil as much, but then again VB upgrade is only available for the 5AT (at least for now).
An oil cooler will also keep the trans oil cool and help lengthen it's life.
A torque converter upgrade does nothing to longevity. It simply helps with launching and slip.
But as Z eliminator said, the problem is with the clutch packs in the last 3 gears. It's all about driving style. If you're going 60mph in 7th and wanna go WOT, drop it to 3rd gear first with the +/- BEFORE pushing the pedal all the way in. That way, you don't stress the trans and cause premature failure. It will help your trans last longer. For the 5AT, I think it's the 4th and 5th gears that are weaker.

Thanks for that exaplanation. At least someone replies to my posts.

You've been waiting that long for the supercharger?!?! are they not in stock?

Kirkster · 04-23-2011, 03:51 PM

Most of those that are waiting are waiting on the stage 2 SC. Sam is telling me that mine is going to ship early next week. But mine is only a stage 1...

Funny, he told me the same thing 3 weeks ago???? I'm going to have to talk to him on Monday and see what's going on.

SAM@GTM · 04-23-2011, 04:41 PM

We are putting FI kits together in groups to make the process go a little faster, we are taking turns between VHR TT kits and SC kits.We are limited to how many kits we can put together in a week, We were hopping that at some point kits will be assembled and ready to go on shelf, but we have not been able beet the rate of orders coming in which is a good problem to have but we would rather not make any body wait.

Next SC batch leaving will include both of your kits.

Thank you for you patience.

Sam

toner123 · 04-23-2011, 05:10 PM

here is how it works. Sam likes to see everything going down. When a kit ships, i know he verifies all its contents before it goes. When a product is RnD he is the finnal stamp of approval. It comes down to this, if you want a quality kit then your going to wait. Thats how it has to be because Sam wants to make sure everything is good to go.. He will not take more then he can personally handle and if you call him up he will tell you this. He also doesn't rush to put the kit out the door because he knows mistakes come out of it. I had to do the wait also when I ordered my TT kit. The only reason I am posting this because I hear alot of people saying things about the wait, like i said thats just how it has to be if you want the GTm kit.

Thanks Sam, at least I won't be bothering you Monday morning.

But, sooner than later, would be better

I'm itching to start working on this project.

Z eliminator · 04-23-2011, 04:32 PM

I spoke to him 2 days ago and the work is coming along nicely on the stage 2.
he did not say anything about shipping them out. " belive me i would know "
I would say 5 or 6 weeks . Or in Sams case it could still be a long time.
we will just have to wait and be patient.

Dembflyr · 04-23-2011, 05:16 PM

If you want a GTM kit, and you do, you will wait however long it takes.

Z eliminator · 04-24-2011, 06:56 AM

" you mean that your shipping my stage 2 next week."
Plus mine is the stealth kit.
