Reflections on GTM over the years

R/T Tuning

It has officially been 1 year since GTM received full payment for a stage 1.5 supercharger kit that we ordered for a customer's 370z (who we refunded in full back in May of 2014 , because we was expecting a 8-12 week wait , as were we based on the information provided by Sam)

They sent the majority of the kit in September, but it was missing the supercharger and pulley....obviously making it hard to sell this supercharger kit.

Multiple calls to the shop phone as well as Sam's cell phone (google number , whatever), and countless emails have still lead to no resolution in site.

I estimate i have invested at least 25 hours worth of follow up time in the last 52 weeks, a lot of it while at home with my family because being on the east coast it always seemed easier to talk to an real person after 5:00pm est.

Meanwhile back in October 2014 i ordered 4 370z supercharger kits from Stillen at the same time and had all 4 within 10 business days.

it looks like whoever makes their exhaust manifold castings is looking for other sources of moving them now. an old distributor of mine emailed me a couple days ago with a picture of them and said he can get them now if i wanted to use them for a kit... but we just finished our own manifolds and I never cared for those ones anyway. not to mention, always better to steer clear of drama when you can.

Can you keep in touch with him so those of us who would otherwise have to resort to dealing with GTM again have a better option?

I replied back fishing for details but then he didnt reply yet. I am not sure if he decided it was a bad idea to get mixed up or just hasnt got around to the email yet

Chuck, I got you covered.

I think Phunk and I are talking to the same guy.

I was told $800 for a set is the price.



EDIT 2: spoke with Phunk. Same guy... $800 a set is what I was quoted

Good deal. I'm sure I'll have to deal with this at some point.

And the fork in the road...


50 sets need to be ordered at once. Or the supplier won't do it...

phunk

they wont find a buyer for 50 sets, and they will have to settle for whatever someone is willing to take.

Why can't anyone say who this source is?

theDreamer

No, this is the exhaust manifold for their twin turbo kit.
Early manifolds are known to crack.

Its not that its being concealed, Its just that there currently is no source other than GTM. Someone that both member "DEpointfive0" and myself know was presented an opportunity to scoop up the manifolds if GTM does not. He reached out to us in attempt to gauge the potential value/risk of the investment. I do not believe that anybody is going to do anything with them until GTM's intentions are clear... I dont think anybody is interested nor does the option really exist if GTM chooses to continue forward with them. I believe what we have here is somebody overseas that is becoming anxious to move the manifolds is and investigating alternate sources *if* it comes to that.
