The 2020 370z needs a DCT

I think that the incentive is low for platform specific tuners to get into it. They don’t have much to gain or money to make for all the time they will invest. Seb is in the perfect position because he’s at a good Z shop, is a tuner himself, qualified/experienced with technical wiring, and even has a personal interest for his own car. It’s easy to imagine though that the idea of starting again from scratch now only to switch TCMs, at great expensive of time of money, is probably discouraging. He has never implied that he will not, it’s just that no discussion has taken place over this, because there has been no defined moment where we gave up on the original TCM supplier. Last contact with them was more about how it’s coming, but alas it never comes. What happens is you wait and wait and wait, and then you just stop thinking or talking about it.

The DCT swap community is full of overall support for swapping the trans into any vehicle, and then it’s up to the user/installer to take any additional platform specific steps. I see this as a generally more likely and viable business strategy for companies in the DCT swap scene over platform specific shops.
