Yeah he was being a D-bag when I was talking to him. Wasn't very friendly at all. Sucks when some people go Boost they think they're all high and mighty and cooler than everyone else.

Maybe I'm :stirthepot: because he thought everyone would :bowdown:

But he was :thumbsdown:

Whoa... hold on. So What exactly did he do or say to you that qualifies him as a dbag?

To be completely honest, you just met the guy and probably exchanged a few words in a few minutes at Nismo Fiesta. I've known him for a while now and he's nowhere near a dbag from what I've seen.

We were talking about supercharged systems for the 370 and he was kind of just talking down to me like I was less than him. Just his attitude. He didn't say anything specifically though. It's really not a big deal at all. I'll probably never see him again.

He's a dbag, yet you are the one who came on a public forum to diss a fellow forum member,that you hardly know, after what was likely a brief conversation. Makes sense.

Whatever it was, it may not be a big deal to you, but when you call someone you talked to for a few minutes a dbag... without real basis... on a public forum... well, you can imagine it's gonna be taken personal.

Even though I don't agree with bringing it up the way you did, or even bringing it up at all, I feel bad that you are getting kind of burned alone here. So, it must be noted that I had the EXACT same experience with said owner, so it wasn't only you, and you're not exaggerating. However, maybe he was having a rough day or something, don't wanna rule out and call him a d-bag.

Regardless of whatever miscommunications we had, his car was impressive and nicely put together. So, it got the recognition it deserved and congrats to him on placing. :tiphat:

Yeah the car was phenomenal. I loved the perfect drop in the rear and it's hard to make blue wheels look good but he did it. Maybe he was having a bad day, who knows. I just was saying what had happened. I like to express many of my opinions publicly, it's just what I do.

i think that maybe there was a misunderstanding yesterday, while he may not have been the most outgoing forum member, that hardly qualifies him as a d-bag. i got a chance to chat with johnny(sp) a few times and i thought he was a good guy. he has an amazing ride and had some good advice for us early risers that were washing our cars. i know i told him yesterday about 20 times but damn! i love those wheels!:yum: sorry nina that i didnt get a chance to formally introduce myself but when i came to drool on your ride you were a little busy cleaning and i didnt want to interupt. nice ride!

I'm much in love with his white nismo and zentropy's z looks damn sick :yum:

Johnny was nothing less than humble when I spoke with him. He was very honest about his car and provided good honest advice. I got to hang out with him and the dallas crew throughout the cruise and all were very chill, nice people. Not sure what it was or what misunderstandings there were, but I can't agree with that observation.

Well once you go boost, N/A owners are just below ya.:stirthepot:

:tup:

I know I've been taken the wrong way. I have to feel the person out first. When you have a highly modified car it attracts, not only those with knowledge, but the idiots. And you get some of the stupidest questions and comments and sometimes it get frustrating. So sometimes you come off wrong.

But I can tell you one thing that I've learned about cars... It's never the car that has the stigma; IE: Mustang owners or Vette owners or Honda owners. It's the owner.

Yeah I can see how I came off wrong. I mentioned GTM Stage 2.5 supercharged and that seemed to do it. I was planning on going Stage 2 with extra blower-assist mods on top of that. So I sort of unofficially called it 2.5 lol.

:iagree:



:inoutroflpuke:

:tup::tup:

I can't believe I missed it =[ I was in San Antonio the weekend b4 for Easter!

F Easter we shoulda celebrated the week after lol

Unfortunate. It would have been cool to meetmore of our neighbors to the west. Hope you make it next year!

In regards to the owner of the Supercharges 370 nismo- far from d-bag. Maybe something was said that was taken wrong but he's a very calm person ( maybe just his Demenor is calm and it came off wrong)


I heard about the GTM 2.5 conversation and it seemed to go a little differently but what do I know.

Let's get off the guy and discuss the good about the show/weekend! J.C.! Share some pics for those that weren't able to go!

:iagree:

Hope Jenny doesn't mind me devulging her album and photos out to the public :)

I just reAd all the post. If I seemed like a jerk when u said you can get at least 550 hp with a stg 2 kit, I was just trying to get you to understand that 550hp sc would be a major feat. And it would take a lot of heart ache and money to reach that goal. Just speaking for a monetary stand point turbo would be the way to go. And from my experience with sc So far has been good, but I don't like it when someone corners me and ask me how much money I spent on everything. And as far as I knew the wholesale pricing through gtm is non existent with their sc kits. The reality here is don't be rude to someone and ask a personal question about how much money was spent, but rather talk about our driving experience enhancements with our z's. Which I though this was all about. FYI I have been a DIY guy all my life. I did not hire a shop to do any installs for me. I probably know more than u think. Peace out! Sorry for ruffled feathers. I truly am!

Ha! No prob. I think our opposite personalities clash a bit. I heard from somewhere you are a calmer, less spoken guy, and I tend to ramble. So I probably caught you off-guard. Anyway, love your ride man, even though it does sound like a shop vac :icon17: :tiphat:

This is exactly what happened here.
Synak when you come up talking a bunch of sillyness about stages and things, people tend to think you dont know what you are talking about. Hence why the conversation didnt last very long.

I was standing right there when you told him the 2.5 kit came with a custom tune and injectors... Some of the information you were throwing out was a little off base, and honestly I dont think I would have taken you seriously either. You told him the 2.5 comes with a "Custom tune" and a few other things... Most people that are doing these modifications tune their car regardless of the stage.

The stage 2.5 kit doesnt exist... Anyone can buy a blower and piece together GTM parts.

I am pretty sure you were confused about the other white nismo because it doesnt have the bbk lol.

The tune, injectors, heat exchanger, etc I was referring to were just random mods that came out of my mouth. What I meant by 2.5 was that it was the 2 with upgrades beyond what came with the kit like some of the things I mentioned above. Everyone knows a supercharger's worst enemy is heat. Wouldn't want to get heat-soaked especially in Texas. I do admit I came off fast like I probably didn't know what I'm talking about. In reality though I do have a bit of experience with superchargers. I had a 06 Cobalt SS before this with 320whp, which is hard to do with the stock S/C. That's just another reason I'd rather go S/C than T/C. Not to mention it's cheaper and easier to install DIY.

Get back on TOPIC!!

and Leave the personal stuff out of HERE!

Pics I WANT :pics:

It's being civil. I think you'll know when it gets out of control :tiphat:

Pics and vids on Facebook and Youtube.

All I got to say is set realistic expectations. 550 hp sc would require more than what you have just suggested. And I thought that gtm integrated an air to air intercooler rather than a heat exchanger like stillen. I may be wrong though, since my experience with sc is only about a month in the making.

sorry. I am bad.

Still yet, big 500+ hp would be much more cost effective and realistic with turbo. And I believe everyone could agree with this.

Really dude.......

So... here's one of the raw vids I took with my phone on the way to the Twisted Sisters... not very good quality but you can get kind of an idea of the roads/hills/scenery around us

wow moderator didnt do much to control that guy (synack), must of been a casey anthony juror

Awesome nina

:icon08::icon08:

Can someone do something about that 37hevn troll? Nizstalgic and I just resolved any problems that there ever were, not that there was anything serious in the first place. Now this guy is trolling on my visitor messages telling me that nobody respects me which is far from true. I did report him so check your inbox moderators.

u sure that's far from true? :stirthepot:

lol Ron, come fix my transmission! And give my jack bar back!

tomorrow at the meet.

Deal. So you are showing?

I hope, car is ready. Tuning tomorrow

Lol MOOOOOMMMMMMM meatloaf! lol @ far from true.

:tup:

Now I can get my spacers done! :happydance: :bowrofl:
