Bold 2: When I keep reading that ppl are having fitment issues it seems to come from DIY ppl and not qualified installers. Seems like qualified installers don't seem to have fitment issues. I dunno, but I just call BS on the whole fitment issues thing. Let's not turn this thread into a FP thread either. So don't be quoting what I say and start talking about FP and their install. Anyways my 2 cents.

Yes, the "Down pipes needed to be modified b/c of the steering shaft getting in the way." does seem like an issue. Glad they were able to do an easy fix.

. He also mentioned the Greddy kit which is also rated to 700hp. BTW, didn't you have fitment issues with the GTM kit?And as far as the fitment issues there were some. But talking with Dave and me asking how bad a problem it was, he mentioned that there are a bunch of other kits that has fitment issues as well. It wasn't only isolated with GTM's kit. He said it wasn't a big issue and worked through it with flying colors. Being in there everyday I photo documented everything and the finished product turned out very well, no zip ties or bent piping were used or harmed in my build. Got nothing to hide, I'll put it out there as it's seen but Dave's completed install on my HR and the photos I saw on the other thread don't look anything alike.

Didn't probe that far into the topic. I was mainly concerned with my ride. Being an F/I virgin i was just looking to take care of the issues in front of me and hearing that he's experienced it before and worked through it helped with the anxiety
Hehe betcha you ain't half as happy as i am 
Hey Jay,
good to see you back. I actually have had my Z back for two weeks. Finally got it back from D&V but i've been super azz busy and I haven't updated the thread yet. Have several pics and will have more after this weekend and hopefully a vid for a conclusion to my FI thread.
So far izzzzz

When they say "other kits" also have fitment issues, I am sure they are talking about the other companys that do "in-house" manufacturing of the pipe bending, bracket welding, etc. If you want correct fitment, go Greddy.
When it comes to the 350Z and going TT, I can't understand WHY someone would go with a different company than Greddy.
Well, not my money, not my car.
My company Redline Time Attack car is Greddy because I trust them more than any other company that makes turbo "kits" for our cars.

i have had my GTM kit for over a year now. im pretty sure like me one other person were the first to get it which means length of time i have had it on and miles. I think i may have close to 10,000 miles on it right now and i havent had any major issues. I am currently at 503WHP on a little more than 9 1/2 pounds of boost. I love this kit and i would'nt trade it for anything
