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?

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.

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

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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
