My dilemma: (I really want a TT for my car, but then, who wouldn't )
1) I have the tools and ability to install this, but I probably really need a lift and bigger garage. 2) Time is an issue, besides the fact I DD the Z, at least for now. 3) Its a little more challenging to crawl under, over and around cars. 4) The time to trailer/ship/drive the car to Tony to have them install the kit, the exhaust, then tune the car. (Yeah, I know "first world problems" ) 5) I can't find the price of the kit on the FI website. I know it's there, I found it before. 6) I probably should have the clutch, pressure plate & flywheel (and CSC) changed at the same time.... I vaguely remember what the cost of the kit was, and I have an approximate idea of the cost of the exhaust. The only thing(s) missing are the cost of install, the tune and the length of time the car will be there. Tony, if you got a spare few minutes... Important details: 2012 base, 6MT 31k miles (at this moment)

Pick up the phone and give F.I. a call! Tony or Kevin will be happy to go over all your options with you.

Agreed with what TerribleONE said
The great part about Fast Intentions, they have an ala carte menu of additional upgrades/options!

It's funny that everyone that wants the kit and has pretty much made up their mined ask this same question. I think what they are asking us is....20k is a lot of money and is it really worth it!!! And the survey says...hell yeah! If you are not putting yourself in a financial bind, drop the cash and don't look back. Boost on....

The prices everyone has quoted is in the ballpark of what I expected to spend, considering I'm keeping the car for a long time. The challenge is all the other details; getting the car to Cali (best way, w/the least chance of damage), do I get a cheap junker to drive till the Z is ready to be picked up... and I intend to drive it home.. and the host of little bitty details that drive me nuts. Thanks to jwick, TerribleONE, Hotrodz and the others for their input and the awesome threads they put up about their cars, it makes the decision easy to go boosted. I hate to bother Tony with this, considering I'm probably 6 months out from pulling the trigger on it and knowing he's busy up to his eyeballs. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, it's my 'I hate to ask silly questions' issue..

Don't feel bad it's really in their best interest to answer all your questions and make you comfortable with your decision.
I asked Sasha a ton of questions. Of course I did pony up as the first to try fitting the kit on a G so just wanted to be as sure as possible it was going to fit. |

For all those wondering about prices, there's a link on FI's homepage that leads to more information about their 370Z turbo kits. Here's a link to the pricing page (which has also been posted earlier in this thread):
