In for idle video with those bad boys in place, nice work, balls out.

Agree on E85, but I would run that go go juice in anything ;-) that set up has a **** load of headroom

danielw 08-24-2010 08:32 AM

even though you didn't get this done in the timeline you originally posted on my350z.com, if you get this thing done ANY time in the near future I will be highly impressed. On with the show!!

bullitt5897 08-24-2010 09:22 AM

Hey Daniel we have a photoshoot on Sept. 17th so it will be done before then ;) Considering the magnitude of this build and the evolution of changes and all the added parts all I can say is "THANK YOU!!!!" To SAM and the ENTIRE CREW @ GTM Motorsports for putting together this heroic effort to get such a monumental car built in such a short time frame!

I CANNOT speak highly enough of the great customer service GTM has given me! By far they are the BEST!!!! shop I have ever dealt with in my years of modding cars!


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.... SAM and GTM TEAM!

travisjb 08-24-2010 10:57 AM

Props to Mike and Sam for this l33t project as I am very eager for a retrofit kit for my VR38 plenum and GTM Stage 1 kit. :excited:

BTW, I wonder why the BOV placement is different with the 370Z kit verus the 350Z/G. I personally would like to see the BOV located in the engine bay area.

JB-370z 08-24-2010 11:15 PM

Cannot wait to see what the intercool looks likes with the zele kit. Props to Sam and Mike on this massive build.

Srry for the late reply guys I have a shiv load of stuff thats going on right now and the car is only about 5% of what I have going on... :tup:

Ok so here is the update...

The car is still at the body shop and I have "Marty" from the myG37/my350z forums and lives close to auto explosion body shop snap some sneak peek pics for me so I can share with you guys. The car should be finished today or tomorrow hopefully and then goes to the Audio guy for a custom instal with all MB Quart Products :tup: that will be done by this weekend or Monday at the very latest and then back to GTM for final installs and dyno tuning :D

Stay tuned guys! a lot of big releases coming your way ;)

Looks good buddy. Cant wait to see it all unfold, more than anything cant wait to see some VIDEOS.

Jamaica 08-31-2010 09:38 PM

Looks Good. You have confirmed my new wheel combo now. Are you on coilovers? Looks like the front needs to be a little lower. The rear looks sexy.

bullitt5897 08-31-2010 09:44 PM

the car is on coilovers and the front is not lowered as we still have to install suspension pieces from SPC :-) I am running HKS coilovers btw :)

m4a1mustang 08-31-2010 09:47 PM

Looking good br0.

bullitt5897 08-31-2010 09:49 PM

No after discussing with Zele Japan we all agreed a custom exhaust would need to be made to fit my goals. GTM is Modifying my GTM Exhaust to fit the style and outlets of the Zele Kit :tup:

hey Mike just want to say that I know we don't know each other face to face but man I am proud of you for taking such a huge gamble by doing this. You have alot to lose on this. I know you have a great shop in your corner and you chose wise in that area. Good luck bro and can't wait to see what she does.

BOXER83 09-01-2010 08:43 AM

This is a car that needs to meet the Texas Mile and see what she can do.

Q8y_drifter 09-01-2010 10:39 AM

so what's the expected output? i mean you're shooting over 1000hp, how much over?

Man if you can make 1400+whp like those 2JZ's I'd die a happy man lol

NYBladeZ 09-01-2010 11:01 AM

When all is said and done i might have to take a road trip to GA just to see this car and hopefully get a ride! ;)

98intrigue 09-01-2010 11:28 AM

Going to take this to ZDayz? If so, can I have a ride? Haha.
