Default Supercharger kit, JDM spec 370Z

Hello,
hello all, i'm new on this forum, i'll appreciate some guidance on this, i contacted Stillen for it's s/c kit, but they never confirmed neither if it works for our car or not (JDM, non-US spec), nor they told me if their kit works flawlessly (seems that it doesn't ) and after looking some topics referring to forced induction in this forum it seems that Stillen isn't the better alternative anyways, my question is, anybody knows who can sell a complete supercharger kit that will work for a non-US 370Z, and with an automatic transmission?

Thanks

I would send a PM to Sam@GTM or give GTM a call directly and talk to them.
I am not 100% sure if it will work or not, but Sam might have some ideas.

I'll go out on a limb and say the GTM kit will fit w/ the exception of the power steering hose. This will most likely need to be different on the RHD model. I've never worked on one personally so i'm not positive what the power steering looks like. I'm sure they can come up with a solution for that though if needed.

Thanks for the answers, the car is JDM spec'd because it comes from Japan directly, it's left hand drive just like in the U.S.
Anybody knows where the ECU is located in this car so i can check the manufacturers code?

I believe you can go by VIN number I believe to reference the ECU date.

I would guess no as they probably are not able to get a warranty from Stillen nor do they have to worry about CARB which are the two main reasons to use the Stillen tune.

^^ lol or get the kit that works well and from a company that actually gives customers support. Hell Stillen is not even selling the kit right now due to the fact that it sucks. Get the GTM kit and there will be no disapointment.

We have a local G, Z and GTR club and lots of people have bought GTM TT, Greedy's TT, APS etc kits and some have Stillen SCs as well but I was saying as a general rule for all cars (G35, G37 and 350Z) as there are US specs and GCC(gulf) specs. My point was no one find any issue with the tune as everyone is using different options and majority of options work regardless of which specs are those car US and JDM.

For the current SC kits, I still haven't seen anyone either with GTM or Stillen SC here, as frankly havent seen any 370z which is modded so far, but there are few G37 are there with GTM TT kits.

For me I am planning for GTM SC kit and if that goes through will update you
