In all honesty I have not seen much of an increase in the fuel prices here over the last 7 years. And compare it to prices paid in the UK ! I feel pretty lucky

Can't reakky answer any of those questions, but you shoukd have answers next week. As I already said, their enngineer is travelling to the states with the kit. I beklieve it is Chesteron (?) who is keeping in touch with them stateside.

Availability, probably very soon. If I order now I won't get an install until December due to the number of units being delivered to the states.

Cost of install, don't know as I don't know if they have a shop in the USA or not. But for Japan it was a flat charge of about $1000 for install and tuning, regardless of setup, ir optional oil cooler, large core radiator etc. That is because PE do the installs. Top Secret were chargin between 6-8000$ depending on what you have.

Estimate that I have for my setup if I go ahead in Japan is about $10,000 which includes all parts, fitting and tuning.

Still waiting on word about the house purchase, If unsuccessful then I think I'll be ordering the kit on Monday.

Will not get a NISMO oil cooler though. Checked the catalogue and of the coolers available it is the lowest spec available.

Dude check out prices for motorcycle turbo kits, typically start at $5,000 for a DIY kit that just bolts straight on, does not include intercooler etc. Here you have the bolt on components plus extras for engine reliability and driveability, and in my case that includes professional fitting/tuning.

Bargain really, Top Secret kit will cost you about $5000-$8000 more and not include as much.

With all that additional power, will other parts of the car need to be bolstered? Such as the transmission, drive train etc?

If you would do me the honour of reading the posting you will get your answer. Already told y'all about the larger capacity oil pan, the stronger clutch and the intercooler that are included in the kit. Also recommended additional parts are an oil cooler and larger core radiator. Other than that the stock parts are fine (on the version S which has better suspension and brakes anyway).

Funny thing, i just learned PE USA will not allow any dealer to sell below MSRP. Isn't that illegal? I hope that there can be some room for negotiation.

I don't think posting that info on a public board was too good an idea. You may like to rethink and edit that before it affects your business.

Yea so about the 10K, uh does anybody want to buy me a kit as well, cuz even though i agree that the kit is def worth the money, 10K is a huge hole in the pocket especially when still paying for the car, so i was jus wondering, maybe someone hit the lotto wants to help a fellow Z man out or somethin....

J/k J/k, but seriously lol.
I cant wait to see one of these bad bos in a video, just to hear it let alone see how quick it is.
