Aglii

Yes know that, got that part covered, thats not what im asking thanks anyway

Yes, First i am gathering information about both ways, then i deside

What i use my car for is daily drive, and in summer time when the tracks are open both Quarter mile and drift, more drift though.

Yes i know FI is probably way better for drift application, but i still want to do a NA project, not looking for crazy horsepower, just around 40-50hp and also i am making the car way lighter, the Zed just lost 200lbs on the first go at it, and i have not sarcrifiesed any comfort... YET

I am more starting to think about N/A way, both becouse ive never done a NA project before, always been in turbo or supercharger, dont need that much power and always can do that years from now, not plannig on selling either the Zed or the supercharger system, and even if i use it as a daily driver its fine if its out for sometime for tuning, got another car, and last of budget is not something that really worries me, but still dont wanna be spending money on something that does not help me, thats why i ask many questions. Exploring, finding the right combo of things etc..

At the moment i need answers to these question.

Best way to limit drivetrain loss, getting the power from engine down to the ground, ive seen ppl, making very good horsepower on fly, but only to loose like 25-35% of it, when it arrives to the wheel, i understand that drivetrain loss is normal, but surely must be some way to help limit that.

Also about tuning, in my mind there are 3 options, HKS F-CON V-Pro , Haltech Platnium, and the Osaris uprev tuner,

I have a good tuner thats not the problem, what i want to know is the more expensive one(haltech) really worth it?

Does it have the capabillity to extract more hp/tq then the other two?

Thats it for now

Thanks for the input on cams, then i guess that is out of the question, then on to the next thing, getting power to the ground!. The base model US version is a completly open diff not even VLSD, so that must help the power to the ground, a quelify drop in lsd, and what more would you recommand, money is not really the problem, but ofcourse i dont want to be spending money on useless things, ill leave that to the stupid ppl

What final gear ratio is recommanded for best acceleration, dont care about loosing top end speed

Yes not sure i want to go the FI route again, had bad experince last time that cost me ALOT of money,

Exploring N/A

so if someone can inform me about camshaft,lifts,duration etc would be appriciated

and what kinda gains i am looking at

Yes i know that, I got a vortech v2 supercharger system, but not sure if im going to use it. Just exploring the N/A way also

Just looking for low/mid range tq and a little horsepower, I have a good tuner.

I have the 287hp model,, 2003 base, also the car has lost around 200lbs recently

I am going to buy a good lsd to get the power better down to the wheels and lighter flywheel sometime in the next months.

What i use my car for is daily drive, and in summer time when the tracks are open both Quarter mile and drift, more drift though.

Yes i know FI is probably way better for drift application, but i still want to do a NA project, not looking for crazy horsepower, just around 40-50hp and also i am making the car way lighter, the Zed just lost 200lbs on the first go at it, I tried to loose split it between the front and back and i have not sarcrifiesed any comfort... YET

But it is not just about reducing weight, dont want to upset the perfect 50/50 balance of the Zed, for example i would imagine reducing weight in the back without reducing similar in the front would be quite bad, but im no expert, about mass, momentum or weight distubustion

I am more starting to think about N/A way, both becouse ive never done a NA project before, always been in turbo or supercharger, dont need that much power and always can do that years from now, not plannig on selling either the Zed or the supercharger system, and even if i use it as a daily driver its fine if its out for sometime for tuning, got another car, and last of budget is not something that really worries me, but still dont wanna be spending money on something that does not help me, thats why i ask many questions. Exploring, finding the right combo of things etc..

At the moment i need answers to these question.

1. Best way to limit drivetrain loss, getting the power from engine down to the ground, ive seen ppl, making very good horsepower on fly, but only to loose like 25-35% of it, when it arrives to the wheel, i understand that drivetrain loss is normal, but surely must be some way to help limit that. My Zed is completly open diff, so quaife lsd would improve that right? atleast a good start?

2.Also about tuning, in my mind there are 3 options, HKS F-CON V-Pro , Haltech Platnium, and the Osaris uprev tuner,

I have a good tuner thats not the problem, what i want to know is the more expensive one(haltech) really worth it?

Does it have the capabillity to extract more hp/tq then the other two?

3. final gear ratio, looking for better accelration, dont care about top end speed, so what would the best for that?

4.Kinetex plenum, the black one, not the newer V+, Would that be a good move? with a good Motordyne spacer ofcourse, or is the spacer only better. Heard a lot of difrent things about this.

5. Headers, ive heard alot about the OEM headers being really good, and some say they only loose power with aftermarket headers, what do you guys think about this

Thats it for now

EDIT:

Other mods that are either on the way or waiting to be installed.

Full ARK performance dual exhaust -

Test pipes

Plenum spacer

Cold air intake

Walbro 255lph

Bigger injectors

And all the gaskets,seals,o-rings are being changed including stronger headgasket.

Engine is currently out of the car.

The insurence company here in Iceland, dont matter what you do to your car, the insurence stays the same.

For my 350z insurence I pay 420 pounds a year, and that is the best insurence not the basic one.

I could jump on my car,, or drive it into a wall while drinking vodka does not matter i only pay the deductible which is about 300 pounds, but if its not my fault when someone crashes into me or damge my car then i pay nothing.

Bonnet?

In Icelandic it is Húdd or Vélarhlíf if you wanna be complicated, pritty much close to the word Hood

Yes, i much rather go with this one: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79535-350z-cf-hr-hood-with-vents-interest/

You have to contact them to get quote for shipping, i live in Iceland so cant comment on the taxes in UK but we only pay 24% VAT no customs fee for tuning parts

Not sure the exchange rate but thats about 750 pounds? it was on more discount i bought it a 1 week ago for 700 pounds!

Bargain i would say

Some cool gifts for sure especially Aglii's Ark system. Likes for all.

 

@WhackyWill ~ Did you really get a GTR? ...or was it just a picture of one?.

 

Thanks, was not going to buy anything this big, or atleast that was what my wallet was telling me

But then i saw the christmas deal at arkperformance, it was like 700 pounds for the full system, and i did not have the meds for my Zeditis

 

That's a bloody bargain

They still have it at arkperformance, i think, was 700 or 750,

AIT and VIS have replicas, and shine also i think

Spot on, thanks, but damn, around 4-5000 dollars, @*!#

VISracing has a replica for about 1100 dollars though, full carbon

Thats wierd, its a picture from the nismoshop.com, and i have protection does not warn me

 

Fixed..

 

Strange you have taken the link down and added a picture of a Zed..!! :scare:

Yes, and the hood i am looking for is on that ZED

Thats wierd, its a picture from the nismoshop.com, and i have protection does not warn me

Fixed..

Does anyone know what hood this is?

Cant find it anywhere

Some cool gifts for sure especially Aglii's Ark system. Likes for all.

Hahah the man tin is a good one

Well i guess i am my own friend

From me to me

Yes was wondering about the v2 replica, but ofcourse a little work is always needed for replicas, nothing i would not expect, would need to take the place for the badge out of the bumper anyway

Thanks

Yes know he is a trader on here, but you guys have any experience with there bumpers/skirts, fitment, quility, general stuff

After some google search did not find any bad things, but wanted to ask here anyways.

Can you name me a few parts store or traders who buy parts? got alot of parts from my old engine whcih had like 50k miles on it, heads,valves,springs,retainers,timing,cams, chain assambly, and alot alot more, that i am willing to trade or sell for really really cheap, or trade for stuff i need

Thanks

I would pay for shipping

They got sued and had to pay alot of money, been good since

Nice Zed (again) Aglii. Just some ideas below.

 

Retractable front number plate here from Tarmac Sportz (trader on here); http://www.tarmacspo...-Show-n-Go.aspx

Also they do these side steps which I think look very cool; http://www.350z-uk.c...sers-more-pics/

Yes, knew about the plate, will look at the side steps, still taking ideas though
