Hello fellow Z owners!
 
Hello,

Just a quick hello and I am excited to join this forum. My name is Kerry and I am a man (Kerry is an irish mans name). I drive a 2009 monterey blue sport touring 7AT with nav. I recently had a GTM stage 2 twin turbo kit installed by Z1 motorsports in GA.

As you might imagine, the car is a beast now and is putting 500 HP to the wheels (yes its been dyno'd at that). It also will spin the wheels from a dead start all the way through 1/2 of third gear in the 1/4 mile (yes, I am trying to fix this).

I am not a mechanic but will be happy to answer any TT questions sent my way. I will mention in advance that MUCH.....MANY.....extra cooling units were added in addition to the TT install. I also added a VIS vented carbon fiber hood to aid in cooling. You can see pictures of the install and my car at Z1's website under customers cars, z34, and mine is the blue one.

Woot another tt! Did you hit max yet?

welcome:hello:

Blue370tt 12-04-2010 10:15 AM

No max yet....only at 9.5 psi
 
I am going to run the Z officially in the 1/4 right after Christmas. Borrowing drag radials from z1 for this. You might think I am crazy but I am hoping for low 11s or high 10s........we shall see.

I had a feeling I was gonna recognize this bad boy! When I was down for Z Nationals @ Z1 earlier this year, Jon showed me this car in person. And the VIS hood and just been put on. What an awesome car it is!!

:hello: Welcome aboard....ya got the best color, too. :rofl2:

That's one hell of a first post. :tiphat:

Nismo221 12-05-2010 04:22 PM

Welcome. I'm trying to figure out everything I want do to my Nismo when I have Z1 build my stage 4. If you did it again would there be anything you would add / would not install in the build?

Blue370tt 12-05-2010 04:30 PM

I wouldnt change anything and the only thing I would do different is be more patient. When your doing a mod this big there is quite a bit of tweaking that has to be done to get it just right. I wasnt really expectibg that....but Z1 will make it right as they did mine.

ZCarMan 12-05-2010 05:54 PM

Welcome Kerry! I had the opportunity to see your Z down at Z1 last summer and it was very impressive!

Blue370tt 12-05-2010 06:22 PM

Thanks.....it has been a fun car so far. Cant thank Z1 enough for going the extra mile for me.

Glad to have you bud, but a few comments:

- Leave the TT questions to the professionals unless you put it in yourself.
- Simmer down yo, specs are good but a truck can spin its tires through 3rd!

Ok...your entitled to your opinion but I clearly state that I am no mechanic. Also, anyone that has mech questions I refer to John@Z1 who did my install.

That being said since I spent the 20k and am the owner I think I have the right to offer an owners perspective on driving the car and its performance POST TT install.

And, not many daily driver trucks will go as fast as my car.

:iagree:
I think he ment this thread for questions like I asked. Like would he change something or add other parts if he did it again. or maybe if he has had any problems. Not to walk you through a TT build step by step. So cailm down, stop being a hater, and let the man enjoy his amazing TT 370z. Remember we are all part of one Z family!
