Mark@Abbey m/s Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Peter I am in the US at the moment, I will see what is in stock @ my friends tuning shop. KevT I will speak to you when I am back re the 370 tuning. Mark Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Apart from FB does he have a web page where I can view his product range that you know of please.On FB it says his team are away in USA. And due to the urgency of this issue I need to illiminate him asap. I have tried to find a website but as I said his name only showed on FB. Thanks friend Peter his website is due for release in the new year, but if its in the states, he has links with most suppliers and can usually get it in, so if you have an idea of what you want ask him, but also check to see what he currently brings in. either message him on here or on FB, or alternatively get Abbey to bring something back with them.

4RE Leather Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 I had no idea Mark was in US. They are fitting the S/C. like I said, at the end of the day it is no one's fault but my own for selling the stock b4 checking that the Cusco fitted. I am so dum at times. Well most of the time of late. It takes a lot to get me excited and when i went over and saw my car last week, then saw some customers cars on GTM website I got tunnel vision. I just could not take in that the VQ strut bar was not as high as the HR until l saw 2 cars side by side. Were the problems lay are when parts suppliers state "Fits all models" A typical example of this was a carbon slam plate I got. I was assured it would fit and it did'nt. The cut out for the bonnet catch resting place was much to small, so i had to shape it. The supplier had a little rant at me until i sent him the pictures. he soon appologised. Another lesson learnt and chalked up. Thenoname:) Quote
jollyranchers Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 subscribed to this too , looking forward to the dyno sheets ! whats the rough fitting costs for this kit ? Quote

4RE Leather Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the offers guys but i thought i would have one last attempt. Hope they came out ok. someone asked me about the window tinting so i will get them up later. The wheels were done by a contact of Taras from Rt performance at Brentford. Mod Edit. Fixed links by adding code. Lexx Quote
Lexx Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Fixed links for a second time. You;re almost there with it. Copy and paste the link from photobucket that starts with rather than the direct link and you're sorted. Quote
4RE Leather Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 I will try that. never had the send reply ticked. I had no idea you wanted the pictures. Thought you wanted the links? Are we sorted now as i just did a shot for Redline. Peter Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Looks like a very nice Kit. Very OEM looking. Looking forward to see the numbers after Mark has done his magic. I wouldn't worry too much about the traction, S/C are very linear and predictable in their power delivery so you just need to be smooth with it. I also have 275 RE050's on mine with the S/C and they're pretty good. Of course you can loose traction when you want, and sometimes when you don't but it'll be fine if your smooth. You will love it!!! Quote
4RE Leather Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Ah at last, someone singing from my song sheet:) I wanted to keep it as stealth as possible as I am shy and don't like attention! Have you got an oem spoiler on the back of yours! I have asked Taras at RT to look into finding one that is not a show piece but actually gives some down force. My slippery affaires might be that thetyres are new:) I still have the Carbon Nismo one that I got of ebay. It was a tad out of alignment so paypal gave me my money back and i still have the spoiler. Shame as it looks great. I am sure someone with some knowledge might want it and when bolted on the gap might close. I found out that the way to tell a real one is the wings touch the body! You live down south! thenoname Quote
Lexx Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I found out that the way to tell a real one is the wings touch the body! Not quite true. The design changed very slightly in 2008. Early ones touched, later ones had a wee gap. Quote
4RE Leather Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 I just don't get why no one did this before GTM, the Rotrex C-38's they use in those kits are just so clearly better than the vortechs and the C-30 (HKS). Can't wait to see the results, from what's been said on the US forums, that's a quality kit, just wish they'd get on with it and make one for the DE. DB DE as in 370? this unit is for HR and DE:) It says on the box 350/370 S/C Kit. Ask mark he loves to play with them:) Quote
Lexx Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 DE refers to the VQ35DE engine fitted to 2003-2006 cars So far as I am aware, this kit fits the VQ35HR and the VQ37HR engines. So that is 2007-2009 350's, and all 370's. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 If the kit fits a DE, i think something just jumped to the top of my wanted list Quote
Ian Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 If the kit fits a DE, i think something just jumped to the top of my wanted list It doesnt Quote
DannyBoy Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 If the kit fits a DE, i think something just jumped to the top of my wanted list It doesnt Yea, I've been hoping GTM will get on with it and make a DE version; the C-38 just makes all other supercharger options look like hairdriers (only 400bhp, pah!). Unfortunately doesn't look like they plan to so i'll have to stick their TT kit on my wish-list instead DB Quote
Ian Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 The carbon INGS 1600mm wing should provide ample downforce Quote
4RE Leather Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 If you get a chance could you send a link to a picture please? And can the kind gent who yesterday told me to get rid of the radio Ariel and rear wiper blade. What was your suggestion for replacing them with? I must have my talk sport you know:) Cheers Peter:) Quote
