  1. I think the Veyron is a stunning car, absolutely amazing beast to achieve what it did on the track
  2. see i think i would prefer a left then right hook to the face than being kicked square in the balls but then i guess thats just my preference., Zedrush, any thoughts on who might like to supply said brake items. envy dont seem to supply anything but endless (which look nice but cost 60% of a FI install) and ESR for obvious reasons arnt responding at the mo. Give adam@z1 a call, he can get you stop tech, ive heard really really good stuff on these especially from people in the know like Tere
  3. Happy Birthday Fudge Packer !!! Maybe youll start maturing, then again....
  4. Id get the AP Racing kit or Stoptech Single Turbos are cool though just for the fact its like a rollercoaster ride, going up a huge steep drop knowing whats coming then you get to that mid point then...... WHOOOOOOSH!!!! Pure orgasm
  5. damn it this is what I was after when I had mine a kit like this, i would of done it as well
  6. He doesnt live far from me if anyone wants tme to go and see it and check it out
  7. lol nah no more Z's for me at least not for a while
  8. Would love to have updates on this mate. I know with the Supra engine in the 350z one of the main problems was the electrical side. Luckily the 350z has ample of space availble for a variety of different engine options
  9. Agreed, if you are going to do it, do it properly!! Is my philosophy on most things!!! Anyway, when i win the lottery tonight, i'll shout you a built engine Stew if you win the lotto I want my lambo you owe me You told everyone what I am doing to my car so you get nothing!! Stew, I do have tickets for tonight and just to clarify, a £10 win doesn't mean a built engine for you! AH GOD DAMN IT !!!&^(^ G&@(@ &@_ @(*&Y STUPID MOTHA *)*HUHJ£&*Y( Only thing I wish for is having the brains to do an engine conversion myself, life would be so much simpler
  10. I know all the cheaper stuff but 30k for a vvti lump installed let alone the rest on that list I was way off lol

  12. Kinda steming from my other thread if money was no object what would your ultimate 350z be and what would you rename it as.... Even if you wanted to change the exterior... Heres mine: Kuro black 350z Veilside wide arch kit no spoiler Red Bride Seats retrimed in Italian leather Hydrolic suspension 2JZ twin engine turbo lump later edition with VVTI Audi R8 style headlights Volk GTS wheels Diamond cut centre Carbon everywhere koenigsegg cc8s style door openers Remote door openers Remote Hydrolics Stoptech brakes 6pot front 4 pot rear KW VArient 3 springs Fat music system Aston Martin interior layout with italian leather Platnum exhaust lol Nos purge kit Everything chrome and red under bonnet Front windscreen becomes a seee through touchscreen computer with green digets telling how fast I am going and the kind of surface travelling on etc....That be awesome but Id probably crash the car lol Make all this mods Ultra light so that the car weighs less than 500kg lol Would call it ... The Black Mumba I think for looks the car is at the top of my list, just change everything else lol Thats all I can think of right now
  13. Tell me about it And we still had to modify the TTE kit due to the location of the coolant return pipe from the turbo as they'd put it in a really daft place, so even millions of pounds of R&D budget doesn't guarantee you'll get a 100% quality product in the end. Given that I reckon you could do an LS3 swap for a solid 430bhp N/A and with that soundtrack for about £12K, that's certainly where my money will be heading in the future as you'd far more reliability over any FI option. Granted you'll have different teething issues, but still. Whats the cheapest kind of engine swap could you do with a 350z to get more N/A hp and reliable, Im guessing a Nissan engine for ease with similar wiring.. but then and skyline engines are turbo not NA arnt they RB26 has been done Theres a video of it on youtube somewhere. Its a bit quick Damn didnt noah from the other site do one as well in the states Wonder how much something like that costs and what problems may be encountered.

  15. Did Phil finnally hit you with the sanity stick? This doesnt sound like the Jay that used to bang on about going as fast as he can. All sounds advice non the less rtbiscuit: spot on mate, I dont think many people realise how much you need to monitor and tinker to get it right in the first place. Once you have a sensible tune, I think you can pretty much leave it, but the nature of the beast is you always want more. In real terms, becoming a better driver will make you faster. If you CBA with that then get an Evo! Has all the tricks and gismos to make you quicker without knowing what you're doing and can be easily tuned to silly speeds. Just dont expect any respect from me Nope they just said for 5.5k I could have a turbo kit. Unfortunatly as rtbiscuit says its not just the turbo kit you have to think of. So think its a good idea any body thinking of going FI not to be caught out by the attractive price of 5.5k but think of all the other extra add ons you will have to think of when going down this route which you are not told off on face value.
  16. Veilside Wide arch without rear spoiler, aligned wheels... one word... original, nice one and congrats on the bravery on making tough decision, J/K nice get more aggressive wheels though, maybe change colour to a more striking one to go with the striking kit imo, or change brake colour to lift off the wheels and arches, just my opinion though, but then what do I know
  17. some good responses there Just thought was worth bringing up because people seem misguided (especially me) that if I go turbo I will be faster, if Im faster, I will be a better driver... So many people ask about turbos and other F.I, but how many are actually confident to drive it to an excess that demands it in a safe environment or would it be a waste of money. Seems a dangerous game to advertise come get your turbo kits fitted for 5.5k when really you need to uprate brake kits, and perhaps suspension in addition as well as ECU problems you could encounter. Just thought people should be aware that its not a simple thing of I want turbo, Ill ask and ill get and ill be able to drive like Hamilton, it really is for people who are experience drivers, hence why I didnt go down that path, that and price
  18. I must of missed this if they did, but I just remember them turning around and saying that if you want to know they werent willing to fit one and we would have to pay out to get it fitted then pay for dyno and see for ourselves, which I didnt think was a good sales angle. If you are selling something and say it gives that kind of gains, then back it up with first hand experience and not wait for the consumer to find out if it does or doesnt imo
  19. +1 Would be easy to just go out and buy just another 4wd track slag but where is the fun in that? It's all about being individual and making the car you want. I can't see myself selling the Z anytime soon and FI would be a logical next step but I think I would personally get more out of the car by upgrading the brakes, coilovers first etc. Hate doing this.. but I ha...a...a....a.v...e.. to...to....to...to... t t t to agree.. there I said it hate agreeing with Andy
  20. Lol, Pingu got something up his sleeve? Yeh its a tough subject imo, whilst £5500 does sound inviting it is the thought of thats not all you will have to pay. Ecu will guarantee to set you back at least 1k and then some, then uprating certain areas to strengthen, so all in you are probably looking at 8 to 9k, then more services and so forth... With Jap import you dont need to do anything to the ECu I thought as its not self learning, so will accept upgrade which will at least save you 1k. Faster car is probably better option, but a 350z is so hard to beat on looks imo especially at that price
  21. Im not sure, I think he has ruined this sale by starting high at 50k now down to 17k over a year and a bit, noone will take him seriously, if he keeps dropping perhaps this time next year it will be a fiver And then you can have it back again Wouldnt want that back, its the wrong colour
  22. ahhh... Well i bought my car from japan i live in germany and work at the nurnberg ring fior a comopany that look after rich people cars that are to lazy to drive them over,i dyno it at work quite often i post alot of my result on 350z UK forum, well the engine spec is as follows, The heads where done in house by mines in japan along with the bottom end it has mines custom H section con rods custom pistion, i had to use a nismo cranksshaft machined to match the the bottom half to due minor difference in the block all the block and heads along with the component have been cryo treated to insure relabilty, the heads are done by top secret in japan and come complete with individual throttle body set up gold trumpet ones you many have seen them, the ECU the pain on the 350z is a HKS F-CON remaped in the UK of pump 100 octane fuel, the manifols are nismo spec R ones ported to match the exhaust outlets on the block, the i have 400 cell sport catt and run a APS 3'' dual exhaust. just to make thing sclear that is 470 bhp at the wheels gentleman not the crank, i have been to many meets in the UK and owned 700BHP twin turbo ones there is no substitue for a proper N/A engine hope that helps i will put sum pics up later on guys and then this http://my350z.com/forum/attachments/a/2 ... r-dyno.jpg
