Default Any Supercharger kits for RHD vehicles?

I'm in South Africa where they only recently released the 350Z. Got mine in Feb. Whilst the local model (only one choice) has most of the options fitted as standard, it goes for around US$ 50,000 (excl 14% VAT) At that price I don't think we will see too many on the road.


Enough griping. What I'm looking for is a supercharger that can be fitted to a RHD vehicle such as mine. Currently there are no SC kits on the local market. Any suggestions / hints will be most welcome.

the stillen one should fit with no problem. Does require a new hood or hoodscoop. I've got the cf scoop, and think it looks good on silverstone.

Thanks for your response. I approached Alpine locally (they are also in the USA now) who indicated that the Stillen had to be adapted for a RHD vehicle.

mrzts,

If there is adaptation needed for the Stillen, someone has done it. In the lastest edition of EVO magazine, they have a review of a Stillen supercharged Z.

It was a car prepped by a company in Merseyside, Liverpool, called Middlehurst Motorsport. tel 01744 26681. I know they are a long way away from you, but you might want to give them a call and see what they have to say.

Firstly, thanks for all the responses.

I also mailed Dream Workes, and this is their [edited] reply:


We are going to release a version tuned for your aplication. This version is a few months away from the release date. We are estimating early summer. Price is not yet set, but should not be much more than our current $6200 retail price plus shipping and any import taxes. We are working on updating our website, so please keep checking back to get the latest info.


Not sure whether this is a standard response, or not.
