  1. From the US Forums: 1. When you take off the OEM knob, you will see an inner stalk, an outer stalk, and a piece of plastic that sits on the inner stalk. Critical info: all measurements need to be taken when the shift knob is in manual mode, from the -(minus) position. This is because it is the lowest plane the shift knob will travel. 2. I used a pipe cutter to cut the outer and inner stalks. This gave a very clean cut. I cut the same amount off the inner and outer stalks. 3. The GTR knob, like the OEM, requires that you duplicate the 2 vertical slits on the outer stalk. I used a dremel for this - this was easily the most difficult task (for me). 4. At this point, the piece of plastic that used to sit on top of the inner stalk will not fit anymore once the inner stalk is cut - this is because the inner stalk is much thinner at the top in order to fit the piece of plastic. You will need to fabricate another piece of plastic, or try to thicken the inside of the OEM one. It is a fragile piece. I ended up making my own, but Office Depot sells a house branded plastic pen whose body will fit exactly over the inner stalk and duplicate the function of the OEM plastic part. If you cannot fabricate this piece of plastic, the Office Depot pen body will work just fine. It doesn't sound great using a 99 cent pen for a $325 knob, but it may save someone some time for now. 5. Put the GTR knob on, and mark each side where the pin will sit. Then gently dremel the outer stalk on each side. 6. Lube the stalks with lithium grease. 7. Put the GTR knob on. Some pics - OEM 370z manual shift boot with the GTR shift knob (370z not shortened) Some pics - without the shift boot and 370z stick shortened to match the GTR low style So what do you think?

  3. Would you mind starting another thread regarding this? If not interested in buying I can't see why you're posting here.
  4. I think the quotes bellow from the supercharged zeds owners summarise very well how good this kit is, if you're still in doubt!
  5. Ordered it, if it works I don't mind pass it along to other members
  6. Or just a part of similar items purchased from UK: Read the original post and do the maths properly
  7. Just a few of the mods from my kit, excluding shipping to UK, excluding VAT, Customs, etc
  8. Vortech’s V-2 Vortech V-2 head units are similar to the V-1 superchargers where the supercharger will require an oil feed line and oil drain line. The major difference is they are using helical gears inside of the gear casing. What are helical gears? Helical gears are gears that are cut diagonally instead of straight. These Helical gears help eliminate a lot of the gear noise that is common in the Vortech V-1 superchargers. You will still hear the whining sound, but the chattering sound caused by the gears is significantly quieter. This is why Vortech names their V-2 compressors SQ, which stands for, “Super Quiet.†Vortech V-3 The Vortech V-3 supercharger is the latest release in superchargers from Vortech. Unlike the Vortech V-1 and V-2 supercharger, the Vortech V-3 does not require any oil lines to feed the supercharger gears with oil. The Vortech V-3 supercharger has an internally lubricated transmission. This internal lubricated gear case requires for the supercharger oil to be changed with Vortech’s special supercharger oil. The Vortech V-3 supercharger also comes with helical gears to make the overall gear noise quiet, but still allows you to hear the sweet whine sound that we all love about superchargers. Vortech SCi-Trim The SCi-Trim is one of Vortech’s smaller type superchargers. These are commonly found in smaller displacement engines and some entry-level supercharger kits. The SCi-Trim does come in a V-1, V-2, and V-3 transmission. Vortech T-Trim For those seeking more power for street and strip, Vortech makes a T-Trim for these power seekers. The T-Trim really shines for those who have a modified engine that flows good and are seeking to run boost levels in the 12-18 psi range. The Vortech T-Trim is normally the next blower size up from the Si-Trim once people max it the Si-Trim. The T-Tim only comes in two types of transmissions, which is V-1 heavy-duty, or V-2 also known as a “TSQâ€. The V-2 version is a non heavy-duty transmission, which means it is not idea for cog pulleys. Also, you are referring to a just the supercharger and not the supporting mods as well. Add to that VAT, shipping, Custom Charges and you will find yourself very far from the $5500 figure
