Anyway, regardless of it working or not, it's not a route that I would want to go with.

I don't know why you are being obssessed with details about this, but I just pointed it out to say that if Ebay kits were knock-offs of other expensive kits, it might work to some degree but since it's not the case for the Z, no way in hell it will work. Anyway, just go to Supraforums.com and do a search. You'll see plenty of threads about it.

Thanks for the one person who gave me actual information and now I'm not gonna go with that option. Might just do some bolt ons and be done. Whatever. Mods can delete this, I got my info. Thanks.
I'm going to sell my Greddy TT kit soon. I'm selling my G35 coupe & have decided to go a different direction. Keep an eye on the for sale threads in the next couple weeks. I'm going to be including a few essential goodies with it too.
