you don't have to spend $10k to get an awesome twin turbo kit for your 370z/G37.

Still taking shots at the competition I see....

He is right. You don't have to spend 10k for a awesome twin turbo kit. You can spend 7k and get an awesome twin scroll single bb turbo kit.

That means working with yet another company that we don't have direct control over. Fortunately, we were able to get the heat treated piping in this afternoon so we can get back to bending pipes. We also discovered that we need more dies to do some of the other pipes as well.

For the cast pieces, we got samples to check and found some inaccuracies with several of them. Those have been fixed and sent back to get redone. This means that the molds had to get re-worked so that the parts will be in spec. That was a few weeks ago and things are back on track.

Sam

Nice to know there is quality control in place! Nothing worse than getting parts that don't fit! Sounds like annealing the pipes didn't slow you down too much. Looking forward to hearing the results on your next round of inspections!

I'll stop filling your thread with crap now!

Thanks for the update sam!

09nismo498 · 12-17-2013, 08:32 PM

Sam- So is everything else done then? Just waiting on bending the pipes, and receiving the cast pieces?

DO IT!!!! It will be cheaper in the long run. You can pick a used one up for around $60k and spend $5k and have a 600awhp car...JS

My wife initially told me to do this over a year ago because she knows how I am. When it is all said and done, a GTR will satisfy your power craving for many years to come.

The last time I spoke with Mike, I mentioned a Super Bowl time frame and he said "I certainly hope not!"

I wouldn't be surprised though, too many unknowns.

Looks like you guys are one step closer! I seriously doubt that it will be summer

Just for the record I never accused GTM of anything illegal. I DID sign a contract knowing that a "restocking fee" would be charged. I'm mad at myself for doing it, however also irritated with GTM because I know that the contractual agreement wasn't a two way street. If I paid in full, I still would have no product. In the end I lost money, and it's natural for me to be upset. The communication issues with GTM is unacceptable. When the customer has to make repeated follow up calls to an email requesting an invoice for parts, that is a major disservice. Especially after each call, the customer is told it will be done by the end of the day and you already have the customers money. It's bad that you get called out for having horrid communication, yet seemingly do nothing about it. Lastly, absolutely ZERO effort whatsoever to retain a customer who is displeased with the company (at least in my experience).

This will be my last post in this thread because I no longer have a spot in the group buy. This will also be the last time I do any business with GTM. I shouldn't as a customer have to strive for the companies business, it should be the other way around. It's a shame because GTM has done good things for this platform and has some great things in the future that I would love to get my hands on. I am easily one of the most reasonable guys you will ever meet. I often see reasoning in people's decisions that have ill effects on me. Unfortunately this is not one of those situations. I have no doubts that the MMHI turbo kit will be a great product with many happy users.

To everyone still in the group buy, you will love boost (if you don't already know lol) and I hope the product will be delivered sooner than later so you can burn tires faster than you make money!
