So around April for the VVEL tuning results & around august for the new GTM intake manifold results?

Seriously Jon...

They were mounting the GTR intake adapter yesterday... the car was up in the air getting the fuel system hooked back up along with other items so the car will be running and testing begin this week... I was on the phone with Sam trying to get some other stuff taken care of when he informed me of the status of the car.

I understand people are excited and want to hear updates. But you have to understand this is a BUSY BUSY shop. GTM does not have a ton of employees and these guys are working hard to get everyone's builds done including mine.Yes could I call Sam everyday and hassle him on whats getting done... Am I going to do that? NO, I understand what it takes to get this stuff done and I trust Sam with the car. He is the kind of guy that doubles and triple checks the car before doing anything because this is just as important to him as it is to me and the rest of the community. Please show patience and when the car is back up and running and testing we will share our results.

thanks,

Mike

Mike,
I need you to REPORT every post that's off topic or unrelated to the ORIGINAL topic. NO trolling or childish BS will be allowed here. Please tell "sam" to report any useless or off topic post as well. There are plenty of places for entertainment, the tech section threads are NOT one of them!!!

I assume you're talking about posts like mine... It's not childish to call people on BS time lines that are quoted. And I'm certainly no troll. I've been on the Z forums for 5+ years now. I think it helps the community out as a whole by lowering unrealistic expectations on build times. I've seen to many times where the owner is expecting one thing and the shop just goes along with it to get the car and the $$$ in the door. I for one am tired of it.

bullitt5897

Wow you have only posted 69 times in this comunity... How exactly are you helping our community? Ohhhh thats right you bring the same B.S. hatred from My350z into our community. Gotcha

I have replied several times to your comments on my build times yet you obviously refuse to listen to the facts and you stick to your story and blah blah blah. If you dont have anything to add to this build or community that is constructive and helpful. then please take yourself back to my350z and continue your little rampage there. GTM has always been up front with me on realistic time lines. Changes in priorities and other shops have delayed this build along with magazine shoots, Events, and decisions on my part to start new product development on the car. If you still choose to believe your own uninformed B.S. versus taking the facts from the owner then I am just going to report your posts and ask you to leave my build thread.

Nothing was directed toward you. It was a general statement for ANY/ALL members who do not keep the topic at hand.

As for your concern, leave it to Mike and Sam. It's their time and money. You have 0 involvement in this build. If you want to talk to me in private, you're more than welcome to send me a pm.

As I have mentioned many times, I WILL continue to delete "off topic" posts or posts that looks like posted just to stir the pot etc. If you have question for Mike or Sam, feel free to ask in a polite gesture (following the forum rules). What Mike does with his car or how many years it takes build or how much money spent on the car etc - are totally Mike and Sam's business. We don't have 1 cent invested in this project, hence we have no right to say anything other than to wait and see how this unfolds.

Thank you.

Mike, if you would like to post update every x days, it'll help member keep a track of whats going on. Maybe a pic or two here and there.

You're welcome. Anytime the thread gets off topic, you guys need to use the report post function. That's why it's there.

They are doing a one off while still building all their other products. It may be unrealistic for most Z owners but if you look at it, the Bugatti is unrealistic for 99.99% of the worlds population but that is where a lot of R&D is coming from and will in turn help make cars better and more powerful. The same goes for this project. Is everyone going to do this to there Z? NO! But a lot of new things are being tried which my come to an advantage to Z owners!

GTR intake plenum alone is going to be a great thing. Since if anyone wants to build a motor alot of people are worried about the amount of PSI the stock one can take.

I can't believe this thread is full of people OTHER THAN MIKE who have comments and complaints about build time. Its just beyond me, its not your car in the shop, its not your car being a hardworking pioneer for the z34 community. Just goes to show if you put it on the internet people will hate for some reason or another. Mike will bring the car home when its good and ready and frankly I doubt any of us are an excited and anxious as he is, even if he drives an STi otherwise.
