Would you do it? From a GTR to a Z??

I wouldn't. I don't know how much your residual is but getting a new Z and adding force induction (plus cosmetic mods) to it is not cheap. Can you re-lease

I would like to get a 370Z Touring with Sport and Nav and just add a Stillen supercharger kit and no exterior mods (keeping it looking stock for the unsuspected...). I don't want to lease another R35...just something different but fun to hold me till R36.

Now, has anyone here done a 7sp AT with Stillen supercharger??

It's been done, I'm in line for a twin turbo kit... To make it TRULY work you'd need a transmission cooler and most likely GTM's valve bodies, and MAYBE their heat treated flex plate


Again, PM me your number, I'll shoot you a text and you're more than welcome to take my car out
It's a 7AT, sport, touring, with Nav (the nav is much better now in a '13, but mine still does the job)

What made you decide on TT instead of SC?

I have much to read up on GTM stuff....

Thanks very much for your offer....that's real nice and trusting of someone to a complete stranger.

Welllllll... Stillen lies about numbers, they have kinda shitty customer... They have no customer service...
And I'm just the first person to have put my name in for Fast Intentions' TT kit.

It's cheaper to go S/C, but when you're getting "special intro pricing" (LOL)
It'll hopefully be about the same


Oh... And since I have insurance, I really don't care, if you'd like, pay the deductible and total the SOB, I will be SOOOOOO happy!

Text me if you'd like to go on that joy ride: (310)eight nine three-4207

You'll get more power out of the TT over the SC which is a big draw for most going FI. The big draw for the Stillen SC is that it's 50state legal. For people like myself, this is a huge reason to get the Stillen as I've had my share of smog headaches living in Cali and just want enough punch to push me back in my seat. It's also a little bit cheaper.

If you want something comparable to hold you over and cost isn't the issue, why not step into a Vette? The new C7 looks to be amazing and has a manual transmission if that's what you're after. Or a Z06 which is at the same level as the GTR. Or are you super loyal to the Nissan brand?
