TT kit for 350gt and 350z???

[twoquik]

I got told that i wouldnt be able to use the greddy tt kit on either of these cars as the kit is american made and is suited for left hand drive cars would this make a difference? Why wouldnt i be able to put it on a right hand side drive car. seems stupid to me can someone explain?

There are a number of turbo kits available for these at the moment from HKS and Trust.

Might be worth calling and having a chat to Nizpro

I have 4 words and a mathematical symbol for you

Steering column + exhaust manifold

It might seem stupid, but the problem relates laws of physics regarding two different objects being unable to occupy the same point in space/time.

I don't know if there is a GReddy / Trust kit for RHD Z33s or V35s, but I wouldn't buy a kit from the US if I were you, because of that potential risk.

As for getting the GReddy kit itself:

The GReddy kit is USD$6,000 (or around AUD$8,000) with intercooler. Add shipping and you're looking at a couple of hundred at least, since its not going to be light. If you get hit up for Customs and Duty you're probably looking at AUD$10,000 before you've paid for someone to install it.

Plus you're probably going to want to get an aftermarket exhaust (the HiTech and APS stainless steel catbacks are just under $2000, Japanese ones are usually around $2500).

I've also read some nasty things about the original GReddy kits being shoddy. Some of the required bolts were either too short or not supplied (not a major issue for a workshop, but it is if you buy in to GReddy's hype that you could fit it at home and you're not the kind of freak that has a shitload of spare bolts in varying sizes lying around) and various parts needing "encouragement" to fit together.

This may have been resolved in the time since its initial release, but its something to be aware of.

For $15,000 you can get an APS TT kit installed, which has been designed to comply with ADRs and comes with a nice, shiny, engineering certificate.

And to go with the local support and warranty it offers, the APS kit makes another 100rwhp.

I've never been in a GReddy TT equipped car, but I have been in an APS TT 350Z. The power delivery is smooth. It pulls like your standard 350Z up until 2300RPM (which means it pulls pretty damned well) and then the power just smoothly swells and doesn't let up when you near redline. Aside from flutter at medium load lift-off and the sneeze at high RPM, the thing is so civilised you wouldn't know it wasn't OEM.

So even though the GReddy kid makes less boost (and so might be even more linear in terms of power delivery), the APS kit is smooth enough that you'd take the extra power even if you were after a GT-style car.

Sure, if you've got $45K to spend on powertrain mods to the car......

There was no mention of budget

yeah called nizpro there kit is 50k very expensive. Also Ive heard that the aps kit has bad fuel managment. Apexi hurry up and bring out a power fc for these cars

[scathing]

I don't think many people have ever had anything nice to say about Unichips....

No PowerFC available for the VQ motor yet. So you're either stuck with a piggyback (Unichip, E-Manage, F-Con Pro) or a full replacement like a MoTeC.
