Hey Tony. Can you forward 100 of those sheets to me so that I can put "figure out how to make it fit on a RHD car" on all of them!

I like what I am hearing. FYI, all we need to lock your order in is $2,500 USD minimum! That is our "layaway plan."

No pressure at all, just give us a call when you are ready.

Thanks, Tony

I hear you loud and clear! I have no doubt in my mind that if our kit fit a RHD car, you would be the first to sign up.

Given how little room we have between the steering knuckle and exhaust housing, also the location of the turbo on the opposite side, it does not look promising that our kit would fit. That said, I cannot confirm this without having a RHD car in the shop to fit.

I know it also does not make sense cost wise for you to send your car to us. I cannot think of a solution for this problem. Unless a RHD 370Z mysteriously turns up in the US!

How long do I have to pay if I sent you that $2500 today? And can I paypal it to you guys or Wire Transfer?

We like to keep it under 6 months for the layaway plan. We are flexible, so if you need a little more time, that's fine.

Keep in mind, we ran way over our original projected self imposed ship dates. That is all behind us now and we currently have more inventory than orders.

We accept just about everything aside of Amex. If you are ready, please call Dan A. at the number below. He did design and engineer the kit after all. He can help you get squared away. I cannot, I am on the other side of the world right now!

Hahahahaha, I am relaxed, believe me! I usually only get online first thing in the morning or late at night, like now.

Appreciate all the encouragement guys, really do! However when you are in the position we are, there is no turning it completely off! I am have come to accept it over the years and it is part of who we are.

I could consider just buying the passenger side (LHD) exhaust manifold off of you and then test fitting it myself. I know plenty of guys with disco potatoes just lying around so I wouldn't even need that. It depends on what is actually in the way of the steering knuckle and what parts I would need to test fit.

Lance from Next Level Performance is telling everyone on myg37.com that you are away "on business". You should probably just roll with that

Multiple fuel systems for different levels will be in full production shortly and available.

3). A 7AT upgrade that can put to the ground with what we are throwing at it.
We have enlisted the best in the business that we know and trust. Clutch packs/billet Flex Plate/Possibly Converter & Valve Body on the way.

All in all, we realized that we need to offer the total package of supporting mods to go along with our kit. Otherwise, what is the use of having a kit that nothing else around it can handle!

Big-tire z34...I want to see

OP: Sounds like you have the right mindset. Far too many start down the path with unrealistic expectations of what's involved.

Best of luck in your build. Keep us updated!
