Yea apparently a really long wait for the items and the service is non existent with these blokes but ive done the reserch and its the only tt worthy of gettin really... apparantly the greddy don't make for rhd and hks do a kit for 350z but seems to be discontinued?? The gtm kit there has been mixed reviews

Dan I think I spoke to the garage that installed ur mates 370z he said the same thing pain in the ass to fit apparantly cause he purchased lhd instead of rhd I dunno ive had mixed reviews some say its a great kit others not so good so kinda on thr fence on this... thanks for the thread spoke to matt from east coast customs as well great bloke very helpful gave me his opinion on supercharging the v but at the end of the day tt looks the way for me potential for bigger power and dat boost kick

How much are you willing to spend?

Are you planning to build the engine?

Two turbo's is extra expense for no real gain imo. A single will make for easy power also. Speaking of which, how much power are you chasing?

Hey scotty yea I know just seems like there are more tts on the market rather than s/t

plan is to boost the car without the engine building so low boost looking at 250-300rwkw

My mates 350z has the aps tt and that kinda sold it for me but they aps dont make the tt kit anymore and the place in syd where I got a quote for advised the gtm tt kit

Yea I know mate been quoted $17k driveaway on the gtm tt kit as the garage I intend to get the work done advised me they have the gtm kit as previously they had the aps which has now been discontinued.... I know a few 350z' who have had the aps kit installed there so I know the guy knows his vqs which gives me some comfort however alot of people on the zclub forum has had really bad runs with gtm where they have waited really long for the kits to be shipped and received and the lack of service when things go wrong I.e missing parts and what not but then a few places ive spoken to say the gtm kits are great so who knows now!! Was gonna get the kit myself then get the garage to install and tune now ill confirm whether they do have the kit ready in thier shop and be done with it

Far... Wat? That's more than the car is worth.

I was offering a 400+kw capable kit for $5k, and mine isn't laggy at all. I'm telling you, save your coin. Research, find a good local fabricator and make it yourself.

If you could find one of the old HKS single kits that were discontinued, they would be your best bet. Mine craps all over it flow wise, but I would need the car here to fabricate it.

Otherwise, get into the fabrication forum and ask around, I am sure someone can help you. I could make some parts for you and ship them up worst case.

It's very tight up there, but a single turbo hidden under the head low mounted is pretty low key. Send me a PM if you would like to see photos of my creation, even if it just gives you ideas...

in QLD E85 is $1.26 to $1.45 , usually 20c cheaper than 98

but you will need

Haltech replacement ECU

1000cc + ID or IV14 injectors

Haltech Flex fuel sensor

Stage 2 at least return fuel system from CJM (-8 supply line, -6 return line, rails, fpr)

Walbro 485 fuel pump in a modified fuel tank housing

Maybe Surge tank or CJM twin pump housing if your going above 450HP

I don't know who you have been speaking with Nate, but unless you are running big numbers, that fuel system is overkill.

Osirus, Aeromotive 340L pump in stock housing, stock fuel lines (or swap to Stagea return system) Xspurt 1000's and you are good for 350 odd kw. More than you would want to push the stock engine...

Melbourne has about 60 servos selling e85, just look for the red flags.

hey scotty, my walbro 485 runs out of fuel at 450-75hp above 5000rpm 12psi

fpr starts at 40-50, heads upto 80 and drops down to 70 and holds.

Spoke to aftermarket industries fuel guru and he said 462lph is max of that pump at that power so it just cant keep up..

tuner said he cant do anything as its leaning out while he is trying to tune it :/

ill upload the graph, one sec

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
