just wondering, if other members have contacted them...

also, if they do produce it, that's mean lth + cbe is the complete package for the exhaust system...

meaning that we don't have to purchase the header, cats and test pipe from what i've read from intake / exhaust thread?...

I don't know what their plans are with regards to production, but if they do make LTHs available for the right hand drive cars, then yes, LTH + CBE is the complete package.

hi "370z_2910" i have already spoken to tony at F.I and he has said that the LTH's for left hand drive 370z will not fit ours, also he cannot make them to suit our cars as he does not have access to a right hand 370z, he did say however if someone would be able to take under car pictures, specially where the right hand drive steering shaft goes down and other pics around the left and right sides, he may be able to do something. i would love to take my car to a hoist to take pics, but don't have the time. if any of you guys could manage that keep us posted as i'm sure there are a lot us over here in Aus wanting these....MYZ34

Those are short headers, F.I. are long tube headers so the difference is around the cats mainly.

I have Stillen Stainless headers on my car, and at about 15 degrees of left hand lock, the nut on the steering column joint at the rack "just" touches and I get the faintest vibration which was a little off-putting until I figured out what it was ... I will eventually replace the bolt with a grade 8 half-height boolt head or perhaps a cap-screw to avoid it ....

I have Stillen headers fitted to my car and at about 15 degress of left-hand lock, I get a vibration as the bolt-head that holds the steering column universal joint onto the rack just touches the outer circumference of the RG header .. was a little off-putting until I figured out what it was. Will replace this bolt with a half-height head Grade 8 bolt, or perhaps a cap-screw in due course to avoid it ... there is not a lot of room with these headers at the point where the steering column uni-joint fits onto the rack ...

yeah as many pics as possible, as tony needs to use them to see whether or not they can be made

i've email f.i. and tony said that he have difficulty in producing the headers unless there is an actual right hand drive car at his garage...

so sending the pics to him is useless....

i'm still waiting on xforce exhaust to produce a decent header (maybe) but they said that they have no plan on doing one....

from their website i could see that they have produced 350z header and complete exhaust system...
