GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

RCZ

Thats about as much as you got right. If you only knew....

Your comments fit right in with this thread though so I'm not surprised. Did Sam put you up to this??

I'm entertained by the irony.

If I only knew what?

My thoughts, opinions, facts stem from actually having purchased, installed and utilized a Stillen kit. If you prefer them, so be it. If you want to be educated, read the root thread of the links I am about to post as the links are solely my responses. A LOT more great information in that thread.

As you can see, I have a lot of experience with F/I cars. And I just traded my 09 GT-R in for the 2010 370Z Nismo so that I could have yet another project car.

As far as Sam putting me up to this, well, since I am east coast and 30 miles from Forged Performance, you do the math. Though, maybe I should ask Sam to put me on the payroll.

EDIT - links are leading to same post even though they are different URLs. For those interested, check post 184 and 187 of the above posted thread.

Why the hell would you sell your GTR for a 370z...The 370z is small as ****...that's why I didn't get one...I got the g37 because I couldn't afford a gtr...Why would you downgrade all the way down to a nissan z....just curious...

He said project car, the Z parts are cheaper than a GT-R so for a project car it is better.

what's up with you coming on this board new as F and throwing crap at folks that have made great contributions since day 1... everyone is fair play if you have specific criticism, but the crap you're spewing is based on 1-2 data points and some extrapolations about how stillen's prior work applies to this kit... fix your attitude or beat it...

and if you're going to criticism the stillen kit, you do realize there's a stillen thread for that, right? why would you come to this thread to for that? hmmm

I saw your second post, but I just wanted to answer two questions that you posed.

Firstly, I may be new to this forum, but I am certainly not new to the modification arena or Nissan products. (it should also be obvious as to why I am new to the 370Z forum...if not, it is because I recently traded my GT-R for a 370Z. Had no real need to be on this forum until now)

To date I have:

a - modified a 2005 Infiniti G35 using Vortech's bolt on kit

b - modified a 2003 350Z with built shortblock and GReddy twins netting over 600rwhp

c - modified a 2006 Pathfinder with the Stillen SC kit

d - modified a 2009 GT-R using Cobb AP and custom tune netting 500awhp

e - modified a 2010 370Z Nismo...with ?? (remains to be seen)

Given my past experience, I am fully qualified to discuss past and current F/I kits, be it the Stillen or GTM. I am certainly not trying to be condescending towards any member of this forum, more so I am trying to educate others based on my experiences. Isn't that what these forums are all about? Sharing knowledge with one another so those of us who pioneered F/I on the VQ platform with our hard-earned money can pass on the hard lessons learned to those who are up-and-coming? If not, I will certainly "beat it" as you request.

Secondly, I have no desire to bring any of my opinions or facts of the past or present Stillen kit into their thread. I respect the vendor threads and have no desire to poison them. I admit I got sucked into posting more in this thread than I should have...but, in my own defense, it all started with me merely posting pictures of engine bays. My post was only meant to show the aesthetic sides of things as I saw them. Both were public pictures and not trade secrets.
