***Topgunz ROTREX C38R Supercharger Kit***

I have 2012 G37X and can confirm that NO hood pins are needed. Clearance is tight but fits. It is key to have the offset coupler orientated correctly

Hi everyone. I have had this pipe blow off twice now on really hard runs, despite it being clamped down really hard (just not hard enough, I guess ). Anyone else had this happen?

Might try another type of clamping ring. Any suggestions?

Push it in further on that side, and pull it out more on the other side. Then it will have "fitment interference" and will be impossibly to pop off. The clamp should be clamped on before the ridged lip of the pipe, not on top of it, if its clamped before the ridged lip of pipe then it should be near impossible to pop off as well.

To further improve this you could also try adjusting the pipe/elbows going into the intercooler.

This, and use some hair spray on it to help it stick. LOL Old Diesel trick.

Anyone else have belt squeal only during startup? When I’m warm and driving around I have no issue with it.

Very slight but I tightened belt as mentioned and it went away.

Cool, worked for me as well. I thought it was odd that it would only happen when cold and didn't think to tighten. All's good now. Temps are also under control with a vented hood.

Do you have a coupe or a sedan? I'm wondering if this would fit under the hood of a G37 S 6MT Sedan?

Yes it will fit a Sedan. We used a Sedan when we fit it up and came up with the solution to not having hood pins.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement coolant reservoir? Mine is not sealing properly... coolant is routinely draining out of the overflow tube above the seal. Hopefully it's just a problem w/ the reservoir & not something internal that is generating too much pressure. Replacing the reservoir is certainly the cheapest / easiest thing to try. I've reached out to Aaron several time w/out any response, so that's why I'm asking here. Thanks in advance.

Haven't seen much activity here lately, but it's worth a shot. I was thinking of pulling the trigger, but I rent and don't have the room, or the patience to do an install. Any shops in the Phoenix AZ area? I'm in Tempe.
