    Not had a chance to play with it, too much other stuff going on in life.

     

    Diff bearings are pressed on to the Quaife, and I sold my old 20vt engine so the diff is on the engine stand but that is it.

     

    Hopefully get some car time again later this year.

    Supercharger kit+mods for 350z DE

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Will have a Pre owned Procharger C2 complete kit and supporting mods available soon.

     

    How much assuming the OP is not interested?

     

    No prices as yet mate.

     

    Please check back in about 4 weeks time or see the For Sale section end of June.

     

    Hi Alex, just wondered if you had a price for the supercharger kit now?

     

    thanks

    Amatuer Racing - where to start?

    in Motorsport & Track Days

    As above, what can you afford?

     

    I have a mate who raced Caterhams, it was costing about £1000/event.

     

    Initial car cost

    trailer

    tow car

    tools

    spares

    tyres

    brake pads

     

    Also expect semi regular

     

    Engine rebuild

    gearbox rebuild

     

    Wear rate is massive compared to road work, everything is getting hammered.

     

    Also when it gets binned, if you cant afford somebody else to drive into the side of you and wreck the car in the first race....

     

    Hillclimbs can be cheaper to get into if you are in a road class, also if there is a road class time attack series near you.

     

    Still normally need

     

    licence

    suit

    helmet

     

    then your consumables

     

    Being competitive can become expensive quickly, eg front runners with a new set of tyres per 20 min race! Engine rebuild every season etc.

    VELOCITY INTAKE MANIFOLD

    How much power do you want and how much do you want to spend?

     

    NA tuning (rough stages)

     

    Decats

    Plenum spacer

    Exhaust

     

    Headers

    Cams

     

    Valvesprings/retainers (and wilder cams)

     

    Full NA engine build

     

    You can throw a couple of grand at it to get 310bhp, or spend a few more and get 350-400 with boost.

     

    If you went for the Jun stroker kit, 8.4:1 comp ration would not be great on an NA car!

    Cat C

    in 350Z General

    If the price is right, and the car is good its fine.

     

    I prefer to buy a cat C/D un repaired, so you can see its pre accident condition and repair it properly. Or if it is fully documented as above.

     

    Some yards will partially straighten written off cars so they do not appear as bad.

     

    If you are keeping it long term and its cheap, or cheap enough to break when you are done with it its ok, but it can be a hassle to sell as everybody will offer you less, and many buyers will not entertain in.

     

    VIC (Vehicle Identity Check) has now been discontinued.

     

    As an aside many cars are damaged and repaired with no write off and nobody is any the wiser.
