Don't get me wrong, if you are a capable mechanic you can do the install yourself, although I do not recommend it. However, with the list price of this kit being about 9K, you are not taking into consideration the other parts that you really do need for this built. Even though GTM labels the car as a turnkey kit, there are several parts they do not include that are needed to run this kit when you are coming from a stock 370z. The main part that stands out to me is the twin plate clutch you will need to buy that usually will run you 2K. The stock clutch is not capable of holding up to the power levels of a TT setup. Ontop of that there are several additional parts that are needed to run this setup. Just in the cost of parts alone it gets very expensive. With that said, it can be done for less than 20k. If you are a DIY I would say you can get it done for well below 20k. Let me know if you have any questions, I am always happy to help
