GTM Motorsports Twin Turbo vs Greddy Twin Turbo Kit

Nismo221 · 09-07-2010, 11:52 AM

Okay thanks everyone for the info, I really am lost when it comes to turbo systems and setups.

Anyone know of a good website to fined a pillar pod for the boost gauge? and other ideas where to mount the gauge. I thought about removing the small box where the GPS goes in other models and making a plate to hold the boost gauge and a boost controller. Anyone know if the box could be removed easy or if all that would even fit there?

Also its alittle off subject but has anyone ever dealt with Z1 Motorsports in Georgia? I know about a 3 months ago I was going to take my 1990 300zx up there for a complete over haul, like $26k worth. But I had alot of questions and the guy did not seem to want to talk. Idk im sure I was asking stupid questions and the guy was busy. But Im new to this and I want to understand everything Im having done. This is one of the reasons I went ahead and bought a 370z. Im sure everyone at Z1 knows Zs inside and out, thats the reason Im still considering taking my new 370 there. But I need someone that will work with me. So has anyone else had this problem or did I just call them at a bad time?

I can say I know what your talking about. They did the same to me years ago a couple of times. Even flat out lied to me. I've always prayed to see him again. Then I see above there acutally posting they like the Greddy kit when years ago they told me it was the worst kit on the market. Probably due to they were a APS distributor at the time. So I went down the road and stayed away from them at all cause. They seem to have there own little following. Now I know alot more so I know how to sort at all the BS most shops give you.

I never dealt with z1 personnally but I heard good things about them. As far as the greedy situation idk but he clearly said in his post that he would go with the gtm kit over the greedy kit. He also said he makes more money off the greedy kit and he still is saying go with the GTM kit. I think that is honesty right there and him not trying to sell him a lesser quality product so he can make more money. So for that in my opinion +1 to Z1

Never dealt w/ Z1 personally, but i would go talk with them, and probably do some research on some other boards with previous gen Z's and read reviews from other customers. Remember if for some reason you aren't satisfied, the best thing about the GTM kit is that you can actually have them do the install. They aren't just a manufacturer or importer like GReddy is.

SPOHN and NISMO221,
Like I have mentioned in previous posts, I take all of these statements and issues very seriously. I do not want to tie up the forums with details, but if possible, please PM me who you spoke with. I am fully aware people have "off days", but this experience has obviously left a bad impression that I WANT to make sure is corrected. In the future, I invite you to contact me directly if you have any questions or need any help.

My direct desk extension is 770-838-7777 extension 309.

NISMO221,
I personally own 2 Z32s as well, so I would be more than happy to help you out with either your 370z or 300zx.

SPOHN,
I hate to hear that we have apparently lost your business. Again, I would appreciate it if you would PM the name of the individual you worked with. I will admit, there has been some shifting of employees over the past few years here. Our current staff is completely different from what it was 2 to 3 years ago. If you would give me the chance, I would like to prove to you that we are in fact a completely different company internally. I am not saying that you may become one of our "followers", but I would like for you to feel that you do have the option and ability to call or visit us whenever you have questions, are in the area or looking for parts.
