Any chance that everyone could keep this on topic? I hate checking this thread every day, seeing a whole page of new posts and getting excited, only to realise thats its just people venting or arguing and not discussing TT awesomeness!

Trust me I know, I've dealt with GTM many times before. You are just running your mouth, and not offering anything useful to the thread. Coulda,woulda,shoulda. Put your money where your mouth is and step into the world of FI. When you get tired of saying, "hey bro hold on, let me fill my nawws tank back up," let me know. I'll even be nice enough to tell you who can and CANNOT tune your car properly on Oahu. :tup:

I totally Agree HERE!


Im going to ask everyone to Please "KEEP IT ON TOPIC"

THANK YOU.

It's on topic. We're discussing the ups and downs of waiting on great products. We build tension then go drink beers. Then when the kit comes in we install it while we drink beer.

If it bothers you that much only skim over the blue highlighted names of Mike and Sam for there updates. Problem solved. I'm here 7 days a week. Thank you. :tup:

OH CRAP, TRIPS IS HERE. RUUUN

Exactly what I thought. Not sure what he meant about TT awesomeness cuz there hasn't been any of that in this thread. It'll come eveeeenntuuaaallyyyy.

These off topic discussions is what keeps this thread alive. Myself along with Spohn and Baer are the reasons THIS thread is alive, these off topic discussions is what keeps us striving to see this thing through. We are in our own care group in a sense. Honestly if it wasn't for this thread I would not be on this forum as much as I am. So yeah we are on topic, because we the customers of this group buy are the topic.

Very true, you guys help this thread not become stagnant and are a hoot at times, but the entertainment and support keeps us going while we wait.:icon17:

Maybe if Sam returned the courtesy of responding to his emails, I would bother to follow what he says. :tiphat:

Um , I really do not know how to respond to this . But , I will try .... " I live my life a quarter mile at a time . Nothing else matters :not the mortgage, not my wife , not you and all your Texan BullCrap ! For those ten seconds or less , I'm free !! I have been in Oahu for almost a year and would not let any of these shops work or tune my car. Sooooo please share ....:nutswinger:

Why didnt I winn that darn lotto...I love the price...guess I will have to wait like most....darnit. Great deal...hands down!

I love the trolls that show up out of no where. "You can't climb into the ring with Ali cause you think you can box"... "he knows I can't box... I just run my mouth"

See what I did there I turned it on him. Cause I'm a bad ***.

Yea umm hi, just wondering what test pipes you guys are gonna run with this kit.

I'm getting the 3'' downpipes that already comes with my particular kit

I thought the down pipes only end in the stock header location? So your telling me my cat back exhaust will bolt right up to the dp? And don't you dare lie to me

I confirmed with Mike that the 3" in down pipes will end in the stock location, but it will not mate up to anything that's less than 3 inch duals. The flanges are larger than the regular 2.5" in exhausts most peeps run.

That's not a crazy thing to fix though, I plan on either running cutouts or getting a shop to mate my HKS to the downpipes.

EDIT: Stock location as in the stock ending of the cats. Not the header. The header is replaced by turbo. :D

This is good info here, I ******* love you guys.

What part of FL r u in? When this is done I'd like to check out the setup and then run it!

This is my boat also. I have the Greddy TI-C which is 2.75 (70mm) but to me looks to taper to a 2.5 where it would bolt up. I'll measure tomorrow. So while doing this I'm going to have the resonators taken out for a true straight pipe.

I'm actually from Hawaii, but I have to admit Oahu doesn't have very many good tuners or Motorsport shops. I do miss Hawaii's weather, but Texas does have a lot of top notch tuners. The only tuner and shop I would let touch my car on Oahu is Seth at Sonics Motorsports. He just became an Uprev certified tuner a year ago, but knows what the hell he is doing. Stay away from Munkywurks, he'll really work on your car like a monkey. There are a few other shops, but from my experience Seth is the go to guy on Oahu.

The lack of tuners for our cars is the only thing I do not like about Hawaii . I have been to all the recommended shops by the guys here and I think I will wait . Hawaii only has one place for nitrous and I believe that is going to close . So that leaves me watching you pioneers for the GTM , FastIntentions and boosted kits . When the reviews start coming in for the G 37 I will pull the trigger on the one that seems the be the easiest in terms of DIY ... That wait continues :shakes head::shakes head:

Boosted will always be the easiest to install, but he will probably be last to market with a G kit as well.

^ I totally agree:thumbup:

Spohn I'm running the same numbers as you in the exhaust department that is. I have a Beluga 2.75 CBE but my CNT TP'S and my flanges are 2.5. Would it make that much more difference if I went 2.75 all the way through?

Sent with TapAhoe

Mmhmm. I'm debating back and forth between doing an electric cutout, since I want my car to be daily driveable, and that I believe that if I have a 3 inch cutout, I might be able to make some nice gains.

Worst case, FI 3 inch. :tup:

From my personal knowledge with fluid mechanics, it'll make a noticeable difference. You'll be creating less room for weird counterflow or pressure changes/drops if you make it a straight 2.75 system, rather than having the system taper hard to 2.5 at one point.

I'm all about higher hp numbers with less boost!

Sent with TapAhoe

That's the best case scenario, not the worst case.

If this is the case port and polish the turbos.

We do not all have deep pockets Spohn a.k.a. Ballin out of control!:bowrofl:

I'm in Boca Raton man! I'm dying to get the kit, my car has been on jackstands for almost 3 months now. Meeting fellow Z owners is always nice :tiphat:

That's cool man. I'm in sunrise. Definitely wanna check out the ride when all said n done. Lemme know if u go to any of the meets around this area.

Looks like I'm just west of you a few miles on 50. I should be getting my kit installed by Z1 Performance when it gets to me...gonna be a loooong trip to Georgia. Spoke to him today for a while. I sorta regret not getting the SC that I was talked out of (thanks Andrew:shakes head:) but it's too late now.

I took the same trip for my tune. Was a loooong drive and even more frustrating keeping my foot from mashing the pedal but Jon is the man tuning these cars. Well worth it buddy.

I was able to squeeze in on this. Im super excited!! Hopefully by the time I pay off my layaway amount, these will be on the shelves ready to ship.

I still have to finish my s13 which is literally completely disassembled getting ready for paint before I start sending money for this kit. Im hoping around April. Until then, Ill be anxiously waiting for you guys to post threads and videos and drool lol.

Week's end already?

-sadface-

Must be next week.:ugh2:

It's GTM speak. All units of time are off by an order of magnitude.
Days = Weeks
Weeks = Months
Months = Years

How about that update?

I bet they won't post today.















Reverse psychology. Hehe.
