I'm sure we'll have to remind them that there's a high capacity oil pan in place so that they don't underfill it during an oil change. Or tell them not to touch the tune (to keep them from flashing it back to stock). Any other pointers?

Most if not all people that that go FI do there own maintenance. Having the means to install one is one thing. But I'd highly recommend learning about the up keep on a FI kit and doing it yourself. If not defiantly defiantly find a shop that's up to date on such things.

^ what he said.

I'd never take a FI car to a stealership. Either learn how to do simple upkeep like oil changes or take it to someone u trust. Never a stealership.

Depends on the dealer. My dealer installed my turbo kit. They'd do fine maintaining it if I let them.

HKS one step colder and NGK plugs that are also one step colder. HKS has the advantage. They help reduce temps which helps with pre detonation. Also has something to do with timing.

Would Gtm have them on their web page and is there a specific name for them or just "HKS One Step Closer"? I already placed my MHI kit order :tup: but i would feel safer if i upgraded the spark plugs aswell.?? :)

Chuck33079 06-09-2013 08:00 PM

Nope. My dealer's installed quite a few fi kits on 370s. Of course, there's only one guy there who gets to touch my car.

I will ask some Aussie GTR owners this anyway but are these the GTR plugs that people are using?

He is correct, the dealership has done a bunch though less now.
One tech there is a master GT-R tech and is the only one who works on the boosted Z & all GT-Rs for the dealership. He mods his own Z and has a high passion for it, plus the dealership is good about treating customers right overall.

I would say for most a dealership will screw up more than fix, but there are a couple diamonds in the rough. :tup:

I emailed to inquire about getting myself on this list, haven't heard anything back yet..

Also, I'm a noob with forced induction. With such an upgrade to the engine, would there be any modifications to the transmission needed to handle all the newly added power?

If it's the manual, you'll eventually burn up your clutch. Put a stouter one in and you're fine. For the 7AT, there's a lot more that you'll need to do.

SPOHN 06-10-2013 10:40 AM

I'm glad you guys have faith. I wouldn't let a dealer install my kit if my dad work there.

AreJay 06-10-2013 12:16 PM

So this is Probably a stupid question but do we lose any comforts with this major upgrade in power? Such as cruise control or SRM still working properly?
