VRT - Z Roadster
This Z may look familiar?
Some of you are Right and Some of You are WRONG. A year ago, this Z started to be built by Speed Force Racing. After 8 months of waiting for their R & D (it was the first Z they ever built) SFR handed to VRT a prototype / One off kit with a built motor. VRT personally hired Tim Richards, who is awesome BTW, to design the kit for a Z.
The Z made great power on the Dyno, did car shows, track days, and work fine until the piston squirter broke due to the engine build and the motor ceased because the squirter wedged between rod #2 and the cylinder wall at normal start-up and not under any stress.
In the event, we decided to abondon the kit to be our chosen source of power and adopted a new relationship with world renowned JWT, Jim Wolf Technologies.
Here are the pictures of the same Z, yet please notice this isn't an SFR built car, but a VRT built car, as we are proud to be powered by JWTs turbo kit, which is not yet available to the public, but soon to come.
IMPORTANT:
We would like to offer the original SFR kit up for Sale to you members to the highest bidder. If you do purchase the kit from us direct, we would encourage you to contact Tim at SFR to install the kit. They are the best qualified for the job because it is their kit. Tim is great to work with and is an awesome tuner.
If you want to buy the kit, email me at info@violentracing.com

I don't take away anything from VRT's cars, but their full out marketing campaign they have started on the G35 and 350z boards is a patehic cry of how hard they are trying to validate themselves.
VRT,
Don't try so hard! If your cars as a bad **** as you say they are the business will come with out having to post about your shop like a bunch of ******.

If you are about to spend that much money on your car you don't make a decision like that based on one thread. Again, forgive me if I wrong, but it just seems fishy.

JWT has built quite a strong name with Nissans. I've always heard nothing but good things about JWT from my friends who have 300zx's. In fact, anyone who owned a 300zx that's modded almost had to have used JWT.

We have yet to "Adverstise" anything except a SFR Kit for sale. And if you are sick of hearing about VRT I would soon stop reading your favorite turbo magazines as well

Its getting kinda old that everyone goes ahead and starts bashing people for getting their name out...who knows, maybe they are new...but regardless they have dealt with a few VQs and so far I am pretty impressed. I mean, all these comments are reminding me of all the crap EVERYONE gave to Alphawerks for their headers! And now look...their power gains were true...but the only way for them to have gotten the respect from alot of people on the forum was to advertise. so let them advertise...whether it be their products or shop. A few people will eventually get reviews for them and then everyone can make their decision. But seriously its pretty sad that nobody gives new comers a chance. So back to the topic, good luck VRT and I look forward to seeing the good work you guys do!

In fairness to the other sponsors, you should try this thread again after Vic and Kyle approve your sponsorship. I think you will get a much warmer response.
I have a lot of respect for all the vendors on this site...and will extend the same respect when you become a sponsor.
Hell, I buy from and sell to many of them. But we are all paying a lot of money to be a sponsor on this board..... Best of luck.

VRT, so your base kit you're using is the JWT kit and you're getting 500+whp out of it? I thought JWT even said the turbos in their kit are good for 530bhp which is about 440 to the wheels? I'm not trying to bash you, I'm just interested to see if this kit can really push it to that level and what is needed besides the base kit to do this. How many lbs of boost are you running on this kit and how easy is it to turn it up? I've been patiently waiting for the JWT to be released so I would appreciate it if you can tell us as much as possible about it. Thanks.
