With the 7AT upgrades getting the final revisions for press release, what's next on the table for GTM?

ND370z 10-10-2011 02:31 PM
The car was leaking from what he told me. He took it to gtm after the show and gtm fixed the lines that you guys installed that was leaking transmission oil. If something is leaking why not fix the whole issue?

VVEL? I guess no, but there's always wishful thinking.

There are a couple things we are working on. One of them is a aftermarket wide range MAF option for 600 - 1000hp. We're planning on posting that up real soon and we are entertaining the idea of developing a GTM Vehicle Monitoring System similar to the CAMP2 but much better monitoring and logging capability.

About VVEL, we don't really perceive a need for us to invest our development time since UpRev is supposedly working on it.

We are done that and working on the press release.We just tested it on a car making a little over 1000Hp and it did an amazing job cooling the engine down.

:excited:

Err... more like $2k? Or should we stick with a <$5k ballpark figure for now? :(

kosstick 10-11-2011 09:14 AM
Now we wait for the 7AT press release..

NewYorkJon34 10-12-2011 09:28 PM
Sam, any idea if that gtr manifold will make power on a N/A car?

wstar 10-12-2011 10:40 PM
If I had to take a WAG, I think the NA motor needs VVEL tune-ability before serious manifold upgrades can have a huge effect.

fuct 10-13-2011 10:15 AM
take a WAG? que?

In for the AT upgrades.

But honestly, let's not bother Sam. I'm pretty sure he's got his hands pretty tied up with upgrades and all right now, spamming in the thread and/or his email won't help much. I'd say wait for the press release AND THEN ask questions :D

People love to speculate without knowing all the facts. A couple points I would like to bring up briefly.

First, the transmission was not low on fluid. Initially, they thought it was, but once they checked the fluid level and confirmed it was not low, that argument was invalid. For us, to ship a car without checking the fluid before it leaves is absurd. We are very thorough and know more about these cars than most techs at the dealership.

The second point, is that this transmission was not 100% when it came in. Just by looking at the condition of the fluid, we were able to determine that there was a potential issue and advised Andrew of the potential transmission problem. The transmission did work during and after the installation of the supercharger. As a matter of fact we were the one to send Andrew to the dealership to address the concern we had with the transmission. The Nissan tech came back with the nonsense story of the fluid being low. We got involved and shared the data we have on the transmission with Nissan and they took care of it. End of story.

There is a great amount of information that can be shared about Andrew's transmission that can help the whole community and we will be discussing these things in our detailed transmission write-up. So please be patient and stop speculating and coming up with stories.

Well there is more to the whole story then itself. I will start another thread regarding it so it doesnt derail this thread. I will actually have it on my journal.

ND370z 10-13-2011 04:39 PM
should be interesting. The truth has to come out.

Weres your other thread?

Clutch??
 
With almost doubling the engine output with this supercharger, the stock clutch is going to fail sooner than later so I might as well upgrade it while the supercharger is being installed. What is the recommended clutch with the Stage II supercharger?

Ron 10-25-2011 02:14 PM
Lots of people go with OSGiken clutches but I've had nothing but good results from Southbend for a fraction of the cost.

I have also heard that a lot of FI people are still on stock clutch with no problems. If it ain't broke...

Ron 10-25-2011 08:30 PM
yes, that too

Baker Tuning is building a 7AT 370. With a built block, its going to be fun.

I heard about this car. He has the same taste in wheels as me so I have heard. ;)

Jamaica 11-14-2011 07:49 PM
Not worth the money building the car. All said and done get a different car that can handle the power

Shop car, they have already built plenty of GT-R, 370z, 350z, Silvia, etc.

Jamaica 11-14-2011 10:13 PM
Oh yes I know. My gtr will be the next thing

That is a very subjective statement, but for your purposes........maybe true. From what I have seen, these cars take to boost very well. In compairison, doubling the output of a CA18DET (175HP) required forged internals, larger turbo, fuel system, and clutch (at a minimum). Then you needed upgrade diff, suspension, wheels/tires, at a minimum to make use of it. Was it worth it? My girl would say no. I thought differently :driving:

All I am saying is you gotta pay to play dude. Why no go for a GT-R from the start if you planned on running an automatic? Not trying to be an d!ck, but I would have bout a GT-R over the Z if it was offered in a MT.............

Number 1 reason why I'd never buy a GT-R
