If it where me I would definitely call GTM to confirm fitment on RHD. Stillen might fit no problem but I'd call and verify that too.
well they will all tell you that it hasnt been tested and blah blah blah, and since there is no one here with a RHD car and a supercharger(or no one i know of) there isnt a real definitive answer

in theory since you dont have to mess with anything near the headers, it should fit, but again thats in theory, i dont think the steering knuckle would be in the way of the stage 1 and stage 1.5 supercharger kits as well as the stillen, but the stage 2 gtm kit might have problems cause iirc you cant run long tube headers without modification to the headers which could pose a problem with steering knuckle, but again, im not 100% sure since i am 1 N/A, 2 i own a LHD 370z

who knows, they all might not fit without modification, only way for us to know is to have someone try and fit them on their own personal RHD car or if a manufacture comes out and says it fits on RHD cars

The key to this discussion is that none of us know one way or ther other as no body has tried to installed a known kit on a RHD (that I know of).

If the OP wants to be the test rat than they can get comfortable with the fact that they might have to do some massaging to get everything to fit

Thanks for the advice. I have been considering selling my amg and getting a 370z since I miss my old 350z. Unfortunately going from a V8 to a V6 I think some FI would be in order. Great to hear vlad thank you for confirming.

OP hasn't returned to Australia yet. If I do purchase a 370Z I'd definitely go with the GTM SC Stage II.

Having said that, by the time I reach home there are going to be several new cars on the market. There's already the Mercedes CLA45 AMG and A45 AMG that offer great performance for similar total cost. And no FI maintenance to worry about. Also, there's the talk of the new Mazda RX7, Toyota Supra and Lexus RC F.

I guess I'll have to just wait and see before diving in and being the test rat. Especially seeing as I'm closer to noob status than techy status. Oh and thanks for reviving this thread.
