Where did you order? GTM kit is around 70.


What about the fuel return kit?

Just pieced it together at an auto parts store. Just need a relay, wire, fuse holder, and end connections. Didn't do the fuel return kit.

Don't order the GTM kit. I can't find the link right now, but they just use another relay kit that is $35-$40 retail, add a fuse holder, and sell it for $70.

I am going to buy the stuff to do the relay today and will do a DIY write-up for it in the next couple of weeks.

Sounds good! keep us posted :)

Awesome! thanks

All I want for Christmas is my TT 370Z! :tiphat:

I'll have to console myself with driving my RB26DETT powered 240Z... Oh! The humanity!

CodeDrk 12-26-2013 09:29 PM

any? updates?

Alstann 12-26-2013 09:32 PM

The update I want to hear is that the cast parts have a final quality check that is good, and they are on the way, and that the pipes are being hammered out good. :)

Alkatraz 12-26-2013 11:17 PM

I'm sticking to my Super Bowl (at best) time frame for shipment. I wouldn't expect much to be done over Christmas/New Years.

Nixlimited 12-27-2013 11:15 AM

Going into month 13 without my car, I sure hope it's before superbowl.

13 months?!? Wow I give u credit for waiting that long, I was going crazy when my car was in the shop for 3 months.

m3chhawk 12-27-2013 11:53 AM

Add up the cost of insurance, property taxes, and loan interest (if applicable) over that period and the cost of this kit REALLY shows up.

Yes, it has been frustrating, but in fairness to GTM, I gave them permission to continue testing updated parts on my car and they have done some very nice things for me (my car) for my patience. I speak with Sam fairly frequently and I know he wants my car done as badly as I want it back.

I said it a long time ago, and painful as it is it is still true, better to be done correctly than quickly.

Happy Holidays everyone!

thats completely understandable, but the 13 month wait isnt!

critical 12-27-2013 04:22 PM

I almost died being without my car for a week this holiday. 13 months, you're a saint.

DOOMMONKEY777 12-27-2013 05:38 PM

Damn. I would get another z by now.

I'll keep away from the obvious response to this and just ask, what are 'property taxes' in relation to a car over there? I've only ever heard of Property tax in relation to a house, do you have to pay a yearly tax on your car over there? If so, is this over and above the normal, yearly car registration charges?

He's absolutely right except for property taxes.
if anyone prepped their car for boost and are not driving their Z then I can only imagine how they are feeling. Paying the loan on the car (which most people take out) sucks. Paying full coverage insurance on a vehicle just sitting in a garage sucks.

I ran a google search and did read something about property taxes on cars and boats in some states, so its not necessarily incorrect. Im just interested in whether this is just the normal yearly rego costs or some other large tax that some people get slugged with.

Totally agree about insurance and loan repayments if you happen to have them. I don't think too many people would not have been driving their cars at all during the past 6 months though so to say that those costs demonstrate the "REAL..." price of this kit is pretty silly. More likely just inflammatory but i've beaten that horse well past death already....

I feel bad for Nix (apart from the fact that he is ending up with lots of free goodies) but he is the test car so not exactly a normal scenario. The rest of us have been delayed by 6-7 months from the initially announced "June/July" release date. At the time this date was announced it was obviously still very tentative (as indicated by the two month date span), i initially had my hopes on September/October in time for my birthday.

Even if we assume that the absolute official release date was June 1st (which it obviously wasn't), then the delay is now coming up to 7 months. I know that some other kits have been delayed by 6+ months in the recent past and they were not producing 100+ kits or having emergency brain surgery so why so much negativity?

elperuano 12-27-2013 07:46 PM

Lol. I'm not falling for ur trap again! Good luck to everyone!

All in perspective though, used to work in Philly where they take 3.4% right off the top for city wage taxes. Then federal, then state. So here they have silly things like property tax on your car but it's still cheaper in the end, at least cheaper than Philly lol
