Lol this guy is hilarious. No wonder nothing amazes me anymore.

Seems like he works for the shop or has some affiliation with the shop. The response are absolutely hilarious.

I would have gotten a refund a long time ago. Sounds like they're just yanking your chain bro

I may be a bit more patient having gone thru a custom motorcycle phase and yes having been burned by both wait time and quality concerns. I'd also like to state that economics 101 trumps business 101 EVERY TIME. Supply and demand. If I have it and you want it bad enough, I can treat you like a hooker and you'll still bring me your money.

The customer is our first priority and has been kept in the loop. The kit was held up by the fabricator. Since the 370z application started to pick up, we needed to make jigs for all of the piping for orders to be shipped. Usually we do everything with the car here. Initially we used a outside fabricator and then recently completed the process of bringing on a inhouse fabricator. A few more parts from the powdercoater and he will have all of his stuff. The owner of VSR has even arranged to fly out personally to help with the install.

Just wanted to say good, bad or ugly I appreciate the input from the FI community here in this forum. Before, I knew little to nothing about SC, TT, Single Turbo or whatever for the Z. But i've learned so much in such a short time. Thanks guys!

Getting so close to my (Polished) Stillen Supercharger/Headers and Berk HFC's!!!

I feel like it's 1997 again and I'm about to get Goldeneye 007 from the video game store

We have a couple of Viper V12s here in Fargo, and quite a few Cobras licking their chops - anxious to see what the Z is capable of! So ready for this! #ProjectSnakeEater179

In this thread alone there's a pretty good reason why Stillen isn't the answer to pretty much any question.

You clearly still have a bit of learning to do

I see where you guys are coming from and a appreciate the input! For me, a lot of my mods were looked down upon before I got them. But they haven't given me any issue throughout the 47K+ miles I've had my Z.

People's bad experiences never spook me away because the lobotomy I got prevents such things

and quiets the voices

I was just trying to credit you guys for your contributions.

Wow! That's impressive, might look your way down the road if I went turbo.

Chuck33079 · 06-05-2013, 11:26 AM

For about the same cost as the Stillen, gtm's mhi turbo kit will be a better performer. Stillens kit is by far the worst option for fi on a 370. There's hours of reading here on why. I won't derail this thread into a stillen vs the world anymore. But do some more research. Unless you need a CARB cert, there's no reason to go stillen.

Nissan370 · 06-05-2013, 01:42 PM

ok talked to the bobby over at vsr he called me some changers were made to the front crash bumper and a few other parts so the kit is final rdy

so after talking to bobby and getting a better understanding about what was going on with the kit i feel a lot better about were we stand with this kit

im not going to bash anyone or any shop i am just giving my exp.
most of my patients comes from the fact that my car makes ok power now and i have a lot things going on with my new job

so still hopeful in a few months i can post up some dyno numbers from a single turbod 370z and enjoy the car before the snow returns

FireDan50 · 07-11-2013, 05:23 PM

That kit on the car yet?

elperuano · 07-11-2013, 05:31 PM

^thissss

Nissan370 · 07-11-2013, 09:08 PM

Workin on it.

car is on its way to vsr motorsports

Dzel · 07-11-2013, 09:28 PM

Nice congrats bro!I was going to go this route before BP came out with the second wave of kits, but I would have to pay to much to have the car shipped. Then the MHI kit came out I and went that route.
