There is absolutely no way any professional underwriting company would say this is your premium for your modified car whether you have $300 worth of modifications or $300,000. Period.

lol your funny. Mis information? do your research which you havent done. I have my policy and knows what it includes. My company adds the coverage at no charge based on my driving record. My rates werent adjusted but decreased from the last two years. Each car insurance provider provides different polices based on your driving record. so you can continue to say so they dont cover it and whatnot. I provide them with recipts on what items are added on the car and its insured. Simple as that. A few members on this forum have this insurance also. If people want to have there aftermarker parts covered simply call your insurance company and ask what type of coverage they offer.


btw call sts turbo and ask for a install manual. I got one for the 350z

StillenZ 11-17-2010 07:58 PM

wow...lol. I'm going off topic because I just don't really care..sorry. Jamaica, you are smoking rocks. Need to get your mind right. You sound so ignorant with the comments you are making. You're telling people to do their own research, but dude, you are the one that needs to research.

I feel bad for the people on here that don't know any better and have to read your crap. You're so convincing because you believe the crap coming out of your mouth lol.

Unless you are paying some kind of additional premium, the things you are talking about WILL NOT be covered. It's so sad how you truly feel the ones opposing you are wrong...kinda feel sorry for you. Hope you don't speak with so much confidence about such topics in "real life" conversation

209Z 11-17-2010 08:04 PM

blahhhh stay on topic..for everyone =]

I had 4-5x more money "invested" into my f*cking Galant than your 370Z. You're coming off as quite haughty insinuating you're the only one here who knows about insuring a car with a ton of aftermarket mods.

I'm tired of opening this thread and seeing this banter instead of STS discussion. I really hope and owner of this kit posts up some good videos - the sound of the 350Z STS setup is literally the only reason I'd choose it over an in-bay single turbo setup. It's freaking intoxicating. :excited:

Jamaica 11-17-2010 09:16 PM

so over 30k+ you put in your galant. Damn made probs for that. plus u dont know how much money I have invested z. Plus doesnt matter how much cuz in the end your never going to see that money back. If im wrong im wrong. so if im wrong prove me wrong.

but in the end sts turbo had issues. I talk to andrew at STS turbo and they have 5 current orders in the process. Also stated that they are retuning the kit

209Z 11-17-2010 09:20 PM

what type of issues?

Jamaica 11-17-2010 09:32 PM

they are having tuning issues with there current tuner. He also stated that they are tuning it to run at 8 psi to run 480to the wheels. I asked him about the piping because the piping looks pretty low...but does it look lower then the fast intention or any other exhaust?

Well, at least you realized it. Do we need a hug? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-hug005.gif

Dan Z Man 11-17-2010 09:58 PM

lol this turned into quite a funny thread...i really hope this thread gets back on track..i am looking really forward to this being mainstream considering i dont want to spend 11k installed gtm turbo kit..this 'can' be a nice alternative..only thing i dont like, with the pic above, seems the setup sits pretty low

rAiN 11-17-2010 10:24 PM

This is soooooo aweaome to hear!!

looks so friggin awesome..

209Z 11-18-2010 12:38 AM

looks really nice..but it does look pretty low when on the dyno. And maybe alittle lower than the FI exhaust..hmmm

Jordo! 11-18-2010 03:55 AM

Looks good, but it also looks one speed bump away from being damaged...

How much clearance is there compared to OEM?

1slow370 11-18-2010 04:14 AM

why is it that whenever we are trying to figure out how low something sits all we get are a bunch of under car pictures? Zero perspective, someone needs to get a camera hold it level with the bottom of the bumper and take one picture from the back and one from the side to see how low it sits in comparison to the body work and lower control arm mounts and how far back that drop is to know if it is far enough behind the wheel to hit the pavement when say backing out of steep driveway. that or take a board shove it up to the tires and tilt it to see if it will hit the piping or the bumper first. A friend of mine has an STS 350z and i swear that baby has hit the road a few times but there isn't a scrap on it so it must be a damn near miss.

:iagree: need some pics now

danielw 11-18-2010 08:39 AM

on my 350, that wasn't lowered I had much more issue with my vertex front bumper than with the charge pipe or turbo. It really doesn't sit that much lower. I had a friend that had 1 inch springs and his didn't give him much problems either just had to watch out for the big speed bumps.

209Z 11-18-2010 01:25 PM

i like my car being low. If this forces me to have to raise my car then..ughh =[

wishihadnav 11-18-2010 05:17 PM

its does look kind of low...might be a good idea to fab up a metal plate/guard that goes under it..

rAiN 11-18-2010 09:56 PM

id go back to stock heigh stock look with just sts sytem

rAiN 11-18-2010 09:56 PM

but g37 is already high with drop to begin with

1slow370 11-19-2010 02:16 AM

it can be low but if it's positioned correctly it won't hit the ground. We need pictures that can show where it actually sits in relation to the rest of the rear end of the car. as for the skid plate idea, that would have to be one hell of a skid plate to be able to gaurd the turbo from a speed bump google up some rock guards for 4x4's and you'll see what i mean 16Gguage would just buckle and it would still hit the turbo and thats .06 thick.

wishihadnav 11-19-2010 04:29 PM

yeah i agree the plate would have to be hella thick..

Staples 11-20-2010 07:57 PM

What size intercooler piping is being used, 2.25 or 2.5"? Thanks

1slow370 11-21-2010 03:15 AM

it should be small no bigger than the size of the turbo outlet, on a RMT this reduces boost loss and increases response, if they are running an intercooler with a single outlet then it should be about 3in out of the intercooler then y off into two pipes the size of the throttlebody OD.

rAiN 11-21-2010 01:32 PM

i bet this system is LOUD

cotizi 11-21-2010 01:48 PM

ive seen this cold-start in person. its the loudest z ive ever heard.

I'm going to start working on my custom kit the beginning of the year. 2.5" Y it into 3" to the turbo then use a 2.5" charge pipe to the turbo and to the dual throttle-bodies.

I'm looking for a mutli-reading boost controller/gauge, oil pressure gauge, A/F if possible into one unit, besides the CAMP2 system that HKS carries.

JMac88 11-21-2010 11:43 PM

Take a look into the aeroforce gauge. It will read afr right off the ecu, and you can get boost and oil pressure kits for it for ~$50-$60

I'll have to look into that... I wonder how precise our stock wideband is?

EDIT: Lmao... i google searched aeroforce and the first thing that pulls up is an Aerosmith website :supergay:

Lets get back on topic.

While I was looking around google to see if I can find what was going on with the370z.com, I found this:

http:// out performance shop . com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=0-2010NissanNismo370zRed3

Remove the space to get to the site. you can see more pictures of the red nismo with the STS turbo kit. It looks like it had smaller rims and new headers installed for the setup. I wonder what numbers would it really put down if it only had the turbo kit installed and with the original 19 inch rims. We all know smaller rims put out bigger numbers.

docaam 11-24-2010 10:37 AM

its looks nice in pictures

JMac88 11-24-2010 03:39 PM

When i had talked to sts directly, they had advised me against the LTH because i had asked that exact question. I did not know the car had small rims at the time.

rAiN 11-24-2010 10:19 PM

i dunno man, are the lth making that rasp?

The lack of resonators / mufflers / cats is what's making the rasp. It's pretty much a straight pipe, free flowing exhaust.

will there be a way to have this kit without sounding like a civic with fartcan?
