First of all, the relay box on the drivers side needs to be moved, but where to? Instructions seem to be for the G35. There is absolutely no place to move to relay box to. So right now, it is laying on top of the intake box, probably rubbing the hood. Not good. Secondly, the passenger side filter is rubbing against the power steering fluid container. Not good. Seems that Stillen is selling the G35 intake for the 370Z. Just bad fit and finish Stillen. Now I have to see if I can pull the passenger side intake closer to the engine with some metal straps, which will cause the intake box to rub against the cooling system rubber hose - not good. What a pain. Stillen, if you are reading this, any suggestions? I hate to take the system out and cut the intake boxes to the right size. $450 should give me a better product, and not at "G35-kinda fit in a 370Z" intake system.
I recommend you sending a PM to Stillen or calling them directly. They are known to have excellent customer support and can help you with anything.

I'm not sure if they designed a G2 unit for the 370Z? If they did, they might have sent the wrong unit?

thanks! I called and left a message - no reply yet. I cut and modified the intake box a little and used a hose clamp to pull it closer to the engine and now it does not rub against anything on the passenger side. Still no good solution for the relay box on the drivers side. This intake will have to do for now until I find something better - maybe the r2c when it comes out.
