GTM Performance Engineering: MHI Twin Turbo Official Release

Alkatraz

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but the GTM kit is the only one that is tested and guaranteed to fit RHD, so its really your only option V1H. Basically if you want TT's then you probably need to join the queue for this kit with the rest of us. The good news being that you will have skipped the 6+ month delay that the rest of us have endured. That being said, we still have no concrete timeframe from GTM for when these will start shipping

The group buy on this kit is now closed but you could possibly find someone who is dropping out and take over their place. Im not sure how this would work with shipping to the UK though. This might solve two problems 1) you could get in on the group buy price and 2) the other member actually manages to get their money back without so much screwing around.

DAMN the ISF weighs as much as a GTR.

Not much more than an M3. And it's a fantastic car, carries is weight extremely well. Japanese muscle and reliability.

On a slightly different note. A mate took me for laps in his drift car at a practise session earlier this week. If I don't hear anything decent from GTM by Super Bowl Sunday then I will be strongly considering cancelling my order, getting my money back and buying a drift car to start learning in. $10k is more than enough to buy an S13 Silvia to start out in.

There is actually an S13 with a full RB25 and GT2635R conversion for sale here locally. It would be overkill for a complete novice but still awesome to learn in.

Decisions.....decisions.......

If even our australian "sheep" makes such threats towards GTM - it's just got serious

elperuano

**** just got real. First Spohn now the Aussie. Good luck guys!

V1H

Thx very much guys for the insight.
A statement from Sam/Mike would be helpful as to whether there is still hope for the MHI kit or not. I wouldn't mind waiting as I still have a little saving up to do ;-)

But obviously, if there was no hope for GTM I'd be looking for alternatives (for RHD that is)

...Actually thx for pointing that out m8, I wasn't aware there'd be a difference btw LHD & RHD.

Cheers

It will come out eventually, i dont think that anyone is really questioning that. The delay isnt really even that rediculous yet its just that GTM's communication is sorely lacking which opens them up to all sorts of attacks whether accurate or not. I've waited way longer for cars parts in the past after being told that they wouldnt take long so its not something unexpected to those who have been down these roads before. **** happens, its how you deal with it that matters and ynfortunately GTM havent dealt with it very well at all which is a real shame.

GTM are the only ones that I could find that have supplied bolt on kits for RHD vehicles and can guarantee that they will fit. Its a shame that the other kit developers arent big enough (yet?) to take on the extra costs of testing for RHD's. They might find that the required changes to their kits are very minimal, who knows. I wouldnt want to be the guinea pig thousands of miles away though :P

You could always take a chance and get a local shop to make any required modifications but that could lead to all sorts of issues down the track i guess.

V1H

Ah well, that sounds all right then. I definitely stay tuned and watch out for the MHI

Best wishes

20 days! Wow hopefully you will not have to get any creditors or lawyers involved that's a lot of money. That needed to be refunded asap even with all the ropes you have to jump through with the banks and what not 20 days and counting is outrages.

I think a lot of vendors are guilty of posting "release" or similar threads well before the products are actually ready. Perhaps the moderators could develop some rules for forum sponsors so as to not unintentionally mislead folks. In my opinion, there should be no "release" thread until a product is on the shelf and ready to be sold. For example, this thread is really more of a "development" thread and/or group buy pre-sale thread. Just look at how much has changed since post #1. I think this may also help to set expectation levels for all the eager gear heads running around here.

16 days since last update...what's the current status on the delayed parts?

ZeeRedZ

You make some very good points and suggestions which I agree with as I have seen this strategy used by many vendors. I think many vendors use this pre-release strategy with a group buy to generate a source of income to continue doing research on a future marketing program such as was done here. It is clear from the many posts that GTM is continuing its research program which may or may not be in the final stages of development. I was very interested in this project but took a wait and see position and am glad I did.
