correct mike....unless I have some crazy desire in a year to up the boost, ill keep it nice and safe...

plus 2G for the adaptors

you'll be looking at close to 7000$ all said and done for a torque appropriate tranny setup.

 

sounds about right..sound performance does these for supras.....about 6k for the ipt build so, yea, its roughly the same......If I want the hi whp, gotta pay to play!!

 

 

Wonder what happened to this?

 

car has been at GTM since november of 2011......still waiting on engine install....hopefully finished in 1-3 months but who knows! Ive about given up on the performance market...Im goinf back to a little honda 4 banger and just chillll to work and back without worrying about cops...it will probably sit in my garage when finished maybe driving iy 1 day a week...wish I had the 80-100k spent....oh well, live and learn....AGAIN!

 

dropping $80k only to get the silent treatment. talk about customer service.

 

For such a large build, 6 months is not bad. Expectations should be set properly from the beginning though. Hope you get your beast back soon OP. Interested to hear how well the GTM 5AT holds up at 600 wtq... Mine has been doing fine going on 4 years at around 500 wtq peak. I'm thinking of bumping that up a bit though but not sure what the real limit of the transmission is.

 

But it's nearing 6 months and he has no idea when it will be done. I doubt he would be so frustrated if this were made clear to him up front.

 

its going on 1 year....4.0 stroker twin turbo motor ordered may 2011....stated 3 weks time...october, motor complete......car shipped to ca nov 2001..staed 30 days...visted ca feb 2012.....internals not ceramic coated as ordered....supposedly the pistons are back now (march 24)......I expect to get the car back after 1 year in total porcess----build motor and install it.....all other chassis mods, boost gauge coolers etc already done, just needed turbo engine to replace sc engine.....Ive waited almost a year, so I can wait more...Im used to it at this point....dont really care about hi HP anymore as I got into engough trouble with the SC...only got off cause i was wearing scrubs and said I was going to hospital for an emergency...Im too old and tired now to enjoy the car, so Ill cruise it around like and old **** and realize how stupid I was.........LEARN YOUNG FOLKS FROM MY MISTAKES...IT AIN'T WORTH IT...ssave for a condo or education or something worthwhile.

 

rc, I hear that GTM has tuned one AT to 623 or so, but dont know the length of time it lasted......a year ago I would be willing to put in a GM 4180e, but now, I just want a car to drive...I have to buy another car this week to get me to work and back cause my wife now travels in the other direction........

 

yeah from reading everything on the 350z/g35 forums for the past few years I've seen that the people who seem most content are those who stick with intake/exhaust, suspension and maybe a little all-show-no-go exterior/engine bay mods. People who redo their entire interior in velvet, full custom paint, and forced induction seem to have regrets or want to move on to a different platform. And many FI people lose their G/Z as a daily driver or are forced to buy a reliable DD to beat on. I think it may be a psychological thing where a person may not be able to be happy with what they have despite it's shortcomings. It's funny though, when people get older they always regret selling that first sports car... How would you describe the mod bug?

 

I believe I met the owner of this car a couple of years back at the Stillen meet in southern CA. His was a G35 sedan and he was using a T-Trim blower. He dropped $50k on the build and when I last spoke with him he was in the process of suing GTM for fraud. It's funny you the Nissan community hasn't learned its lesson yet.

p.s. a 6 month wait is redonkeyless for a motor build and FI install...

 

Good luck, hope things turn out well for you and me.

 

Why a 4.0L setup for "only" 600whp?

Of that's right....GTM (get that money)

 

ROFLMAO...ALberto strikes again....damn brah GET THAT MONEY...right on point.

Screw that pick up a used GTR and *** slap GTM with it all day long versus giving them 80k so they can smoke cubans and walk on marble floors thanks to your paychecks.

Also if you recommend the engine at 600hp then stop advertising 800hp and asking ridonkoulous money you fools

 

if you read the 370z or g37 forums, GTM posts there regularly and they are THE premier shop.

 

depends what your after, if you want something quick and fun to drive and something you dont have to worry about bolt on and tune is the way to go. I'm after something that scares me every time i take it out and when after that you cant expect it to not have problems, should expect stuff to break or fail when you push them to their limit and farther its just a matter of time lol

 

why a 4.0 setup for only 600 whp/ CAUSE I WANTED IT **********!
