Sam, I'm glad to say I stuck around and kept patiently waiting. I'm very excited for the delivery in the kit. I'm sure many others can agree, and are very happy. It's been a long while, but I have faith GTM will deliver.

Thanks for the quick update Sam.
I didn't actually realise that the RHD cast parts were any different. I assume that its the exhaust manifolds that need to be slightly different to fit?

I meant to send you guys an email about this ages ago. I had planned on getting a few things ceramic coated here in Perth before installation. Do you guys offer this as well or just powder coating?

Can't wait to get my hands on the installation manual so that I can start preparing. Is there much (if any) difference between the LHD and RHD installation process?

Sam, to my understanding you are offering the Garrett Turbos for this kit, correct? If so, they are ball bearing turbos and so the return lines must be above the oil level. If you don't tap the oil pan, where would the oil return lines go to ?

Sam. Also, hopefully we don't have to relocate the power steering gear with a new coupler like the earlier turbo kit? Please confirm

Kit comes with the 8qt oil pan pre-fitted for oil return.

Straight from GTM-


There is no drilling and tapping of the cylinder head or upper oil pan with this new kit and no scavenge pump required.

The factory steering system remains intact.

The GTM MHI Kit comes with a baffled oil pan that has one-way anti-slosh valves. This alleviates the need to drill and tap the upper oil pan while simultaneously improving engine oil control and capacity.

Here in Aus, we get RE11's standard with the 19" wheels, we don't have options on the 370z's, they all come fully loaded with the best of everything.

I know that. All I need to know are the oil return lines fittings at the pan above the engine oil level or below. I hope they are above because if not, the ball turbo bearing might smoke. It's OK if you have the bushing type shaft like the MHI to have the return lines below the oil level. So, I am just concern about this issue. THank you

That's good that we don't have to mess with the power steering gear, the head and taking out the crash bars like the last kit. Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks for that.
Any particular reason you decided against it?

I've done it before on other vehicles, by a couple different places, and it always seems to crack rather easily in my experience. have had a few friends that had the same problem. so for me, i decided against it.

So now that multiple people have requested refunds can we get a list of who has requested and who has gotten their money? As well as a date of when requested and when it was returned

1. Neo187H requested 1/22 not yet refunded
