VRT keep action speaks louder than words. I am sure that when I come back from my deployment that I will have no reason, not to ship my car down to your location. I wish I didnt have to go now. Let your work speak for itself. Sought of like the 350Z, it does not need an advertisement to sell.

I make this mistake all the time. The word "infinity", after all, is much older then "infiniti". This is not hard to overlook.
Now, as per this never ending argument, I will have to side with VRT on this issue. Either take a trip to San Diego and come back with real proof that they are a bunch of jackasses or relax, even if they are not serious, then why is it a problem to all of you? Don't use their services then. I mean, you all have driver's licences, which makes you at least 18. Stop acting like you are half of that.
Let's all be reasonable adults and wait until MIA does his recon work.
I am getting tempted to trade in the Z for a Cayman. The people on Porsche forums are so mature...

That was a nice turn out at Fusion. Many more cars than I remember from the last time I went.
Miaplaya, good to see you and your car again.
Z Boy, it was nice to finally put a face with all that feedback
Well, I hope this puts to rest all the hating that is going on in this forum. VRT came out and proved that they do indeed deliver what they promise

Nice to meet some of you tonight. We will be at both Streets of Willow for the Motor Press Guild and Big Willow with Open Track - Wednesday November 16, 2005 as well as a few more Road Race events before year end. Thanks once again.
See you soon.
Michael

Apparently one G had the JWT kit (out of the box, but with a single intercooler) putting down numbers in the 420s-430s to the wheels @10/11psi? Please correct me if I heard wrong. Not too shabby, a dyno sheet would be nice to look at.
Saw various intercooler setups:
Single on a G.
Dual on a Z.
Dual on a G.
Can't remember if I saw a Single on a Z.
I thought it was a bit strange seeing so many JWT kits in one place considering they're not for sale yet.
Peeling out in the parking lot and screeching the tires when you leave doesn't exactly make the Fusion meets cop friendly...

Cliff's notes:
VRT showed up at a "meet" for a short period of time, with some modified Z's with prototype JWT Turbo kits that had all different kinds of intercoolers on them. They then proceeded to high tail it out of there and leave rubber marks behind. CLASSY to say the least.
So how did VRT prove itself to be a reputable 350Z tuner and installer by showing up at some car meet with some turbo Z's and then taking off like bats out of hell?
I never doubted that VRT indeed had cars with turbo and s/cer kits on them...I do doubt however that VRT has any useful knowledege about 350Z modification that somehow makes them "better than the rest". They talk the talk and spin their tires...that's about it so far.

What "researched knowledge" will you show us next??
Maybe a little acceptance and less jealousy and hate will help these forums more than the accusations and trash talk. They obvoiusly have the kits they say they do and should have more insight to the workings of the JWT kit that many people have been asking about. Great work VRT hope to see you at Willow Springs.

I've talked to people who have had dealings with them and I've seen the BS that they post on here thread after thread. VRT doesn't even have a REAL SHOP, they work out of Mike's HOUSE. I could go further into detail, but frankly it's not worth my time.
Keep on swining from VRTs nuts...we all know you're the real joke here.

WOW!!! Even with proof!! Going out there and there are a few (no names ) who still cant just let the hatred go and know that they were wrong! Dude, they have the JWT Kits that they stated and many people saw them! Stop hating and realize that the information you gathered (if any) was wrong. They have the kits, the cars are bad @$$ and its final!

There we're some bad a$$ cars out there last night though. Was a good time.

LOL BriGuy just won't let it go. I'm glad to hear VRT wasn't talking $hit. This board is really starting to get full of haters. I want to thank VRT for showing up and letting people check out their setups. The holy grail does exist! lol I can't wait for the JWT kit to be released. But I thought that a single intercooler setup for the G35 wasn't going to be available? VRT, is it anymore beneficial to have one big intercooler on the G35 instead of the dual intercoolers? If you have both setups do you still run similar numbers on the dyno?

Jim Wolf and VRT better get on the same page. Because Jim Wolf says that their kit won't be available until early next year, while VRT claims that you can bring them your car right now and get a JWT kit installed for like 10 grand.
You guys don't get it. At first I was skeptical because I hadn't heard a peep from anyone about JWT kits. And this guy came on here claiming that they've installed 10. So I called JWT..and they said that VRT did indeed have TWO prototype kits. Little descrepency there.
A few turbo cars showing up at a meet PROVES NOTHING. I want to see VRT actually CONTRIBUTE to this community before I will give them any respect. That haven't done anything innovative, all they've done is taken someone elses turbo kit, installed it on a few cars and talk about how it is far and away the "best". They've posted up bogus hp and 1/4 mile times, and don't even work out of a REAL SHOP.
VRT has CONSTANTLY run circles around questions about their claims. They claim they've installed every FI kit out there for the 350Z and therefore their assessment of the "superior" JWT kit should be taken as gospel.
So where are the Greddy TT, APS TT, APS ST, Turbonetics ST, PE TT, SFR TT, Vortech S/C, ATI S/Cer, and HKS S/Cer cars that they worked on??
I don't get why you guys think VRT proved ANYTHING. I could show up with my car at some meet and promise you the world...would you sit there and swing from my nuts after that just because I have a turbo kit installed on my car???
FYI:
I NEVER SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY JWT KITS AFTER I TALKED TO JIM WOLF
