but 3k down and put the rest on your credit card. easy dude

Let's make it easy for everyone. If you have the UpRev cable the tuner kit will cost you $5395.
Now take advantage of GTM's layaway option. This means you have one year to pay the kit off. You only have to come up with $1,681.50. If the kit is released in 3 months. You will need to only save $140.13 a week for the down payment.
After the down payment is made you will only need to pay $309.46 a month. There is no interest on the layaway program sooooo the real question is can you afford a minimum of $310 to at least get the first step of being boosted underway. :tiphat:

If you wait you could be looking at paying almost $8000 for the same kit or you can cheaper and get the $4595 or $4995 kit. Seems to make since....:stirthepot:

put the down payment and do the layaway...if you can't get it installed right away why pay interest on something that can't be installed.

Jackson, there was a big car show there Sunday. It was a fundraiser for Hospice. Is this the same one? I posted it on our site.

I registered and paid but couldn't go due to a conflict. I was actually more interested in donating the n=money than the car show and swag.

I'm down to go see f&f 6. we should prolly get a list going so we can preorder tickets

on the built engine note: internals alone would probably run $5k. rods, pistons, cams, valvesprings, retainers, etc... gtm quote me $6k just for the cam swap + head work on our car. i imagine with labor and everything, u would be looking at $12-15k depending on how wild u went.

Tower, what was your quote to get the engine built by gtm?

edub370 05-04-2013 11:21 AM

is that a list of all the parts it would take to get a gtr to 600whp? So, thats about $24k in parts & labor for that gtr build listed above. as opposed to $30k for the z. that seems correct that the z would cost a little more considering we are taking a car from na to boosted.

i mean we need a few extra things not listed above such as trans/clutch upgrades, oil cooler, trans cooler, possible radiator upgrade ( thats $3500+ in parts off the top of my head right there. add labor for that install, and there's another $3k). plus if u have a 7AT, you gotta do major trans mods to handle that power too. you gotta think, the gtr gets the advantage of being built to handle 500hp worth of boost outta the box.

building an engine is a big undertaking. thats why there are so few "built" cars running around on the streets.

BUT, on a good tune, our engine can make 500-550whp on stock internals with just bolt on boost. the VQ37 is pretty stout for factory setup tbh. Hell, even 2jz's start having to worry about stock internals around that hp level

Mine was quoted at $34,903 to get my car to 700+whp, closer to 800whp. That was a whole new 4.2L engine, 3" exhaust, clutch set up, stage 5 fuel system, boost controller, traction controller and of course the twins. That's without install or shipping. I was soooooo close to doing this but after drooling over the GTR I had to come to my senses and realize I can get to 1000whp for the same money on the GTR.

yes 24K in parts in labor to bring a GTR to 750 rwhp. A GTR engine can handle 800 on stock iternals but i asked for a engine build price so that i can see what the cost would be compared to a Z. At this point in time boosted 350z's were all over the place. way over 600+

Wow Yea 35K with out labor too? you would need suspension mods and breaks o hold that power of 700+. i guess im venting and im upset that the Z cost so much!! the 370z that has 1,000 WRHP cost 100,000 to build.
