BUMP.

2 sets in stock, good to go.

Same price:D

I run the HKS Y section, pricy but pure quality.

hi guys

 

i have a 2005 UK spec 350z roadster.

it had sustained some water damage to the interior.

everything is in good working order apart from 2 things:

 

1/ the airbag light is on. if been tols the sensor under the seat needs checking.

 

2/ the external lights front and back + wipers dont work, however the washers on the wipers are working fine and all the external lights work fine if i disconnect the brown clip from the body control module. i suspect the car needs a new body control module.

 

does any one have any ideas on how to fix those 2 issues.

 

your advice is much appreciated

Here you go mate.

Hello and to the forum. good to have you on board.

I think that they are horrid

:lol:

Tbh if you expect to get no lag from a turbo engine at all you're misleading yourself seriously.

Sorry mate, got to disagree:

If you take the time to do a proper install and choose your turbos very carefully then no lag is achievable.

I am running my 350z at 600 bhp with huge torque at only 1 bar.

There is absolutely no obvious turbo lag and the time to spool up is minimum with the power constantly on tap.

anyone up on the anti lag system for turbo cars..

 

i have alot of lag on the APS TT kit and want to fit anti lag, anyone done this yet/?

If installed and mapped properly then you should have no lag on a tt set up. Best advice that I can give you is to go back to your tuner/fitter.

BUMP...........

Another 3 sets of these have just arrived today.

Still £240 including shipping.

Cheers,

Alex.

Does anyone use an outside car covers for their 350z?

 

How much and where can i get one from?

 

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

I have a spare brand new Genuine 350Z car cover still in box that is surplus to requirements.

Give me a shout if you want it and I will get it shipped out to tomoz with delivery Wednesday. £100 + £15 shipping.

Cheers,

Alex.

Will definately try and take an engine pic or two, although there's not really much to be seen.

 

I seriously think your under estimating how important engine shots are to potential buyers of a supercharged zed

 

+1 and with the information about mileage since, which professional outfit did it etc., you are selling something a bit different and those that don't know need a nudge that it is well done, professional etc.

I also think that a copy of Abbey Motorsport's Dyno numbers would also help big time. Abbey run a Dynapack Chassis Dynamometer so the hp numbers will be from the hubs. Like the rest of the guys say, any potential buyer will want to see this stuff.

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if anyone knows much about the HKS rotrex supercharger kit, i have tried looking for some reviews but cant seem to find much about it? Is it reliable? how does it sound etc etc?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

Sonny,

I ran the Rotrex system in the Purple Sumo 350Z [Hercules] for around one year and it was extremely reliable and very quiet as it runs planetary rollers instead of traditional toothed gears. I ran it on standard internals @ at a safe 365 bhp with standard belt pulleys.

At the same time on my other Zed I was running an ATI Procharger C2 but that is a story for another day.

You should find all the information that you require @ www.rotrex.com

but in the meantime find below a brief summary.

The HKS Rotrex Supercharger Kits for the 350Z are the only s/c forced induction systems for the aftermarket from HKS. The centrifugal type supercharger features a unique traction drive, with a closed oil circulation system. The traction drive utilizes fixed ratio planetary rollers that are more efficient then traditional gear-wheels. Because the planetary rollers do not have teeth like traditional gear-wheels noise is decreased and reliability is increased. The closed oil circulation system cycles a specially-formulated Traction Oil that lubricates and cools the supercharger, dramatically increasing longevity and reliability. The Traction Oil is cooled through a liquid to air oil cooler included with each kit.

All HKS Rotrex Supercharger Kits are developed as complete bolt-on systems. For certain applications HKS will include a front-mount air-to-air intercooler, Super Mega Flow intake, Bypass Valve, additional injectors, upgraded fuel pump and S/C Fuel Computer. Also included with each kit is a high-performance cast aluminum bracket which has been precisely engineered to reduce noise and vibration.

Kit Overview

Rotrex C30-94 Centrifugal SuperchargerThe HKS Rotrex kit for the 350Z is built around the latest Rotrex roller-driven superchargers. HKS has swapped out the compressor in favor of their own turbine housing and wheel.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Alex.

I would like to be running near 400bhp if possible, dont want the hassle of changing internals and Low boost too

If you do not change the internals then you will have to run low boost and low torque.

Which turbo kit would be the safest and most reliable and giving me great gains.

 

HKS, APS, Turbo technics???

Firstly, what power/torque/boost are you looking to run ?

Forgot to say, you coming to the jockland hoon? Would be good if you could make it!

That is the plan Stew, my name is down but I unfortunately can not confirm as yet but will let you know asap.

Supposed to be in FYR Macedonia that week end.

Guys, this is much more complicated than it first appears.

HKS are only providing the parts that are listed in the link in the initial post and this will only provide a BASIC FOUNDATION OF PARTS FOR YOUR OWN BESPOKE SET UP.

There are many more parts required to complete this set up and that will depend on what power / torque you wish to run.

Anything above 400 hp will require an internal forged rebuild.

You will require to run VPro, VPro loom, upgrade the fuel pump and fuel pipe return and fuel rail set up, injectors, fuel bypass regulator, induction pipes will have to manufactured, air filters, oil cooler, radiator, intercooler, boost controller, extra gauges, wide band commander air fuel ratio monitor, suitable exhaust system, dump valve, uprated clutch.....the list goes on and on....The above is just off the top of my head and in no specific order.....Then brakes and suspension will required sorted.....Mapping £500 +....

You are asking for guideline prices, well here you go, remember I have personally done this so the numbers are for real.

If you want to run sub 400 hp then you will get no change from 10K.

If you want to run around a safe 600 hp and 600 lbs ft like me, then you will require 20K+ and that will not be the end to your spending.

Hope this helps, but it really is a mine field with loadsa hidden costs/extras and the decision to go fi should not be taken lightly.

Cheers,

Alex.

What intercooler would you use with this kit,

 

Im considering buying it but want a hks intercooler aswell

You will require much more than a suitable intercooler if you run with this kit.

Yip, Got to agree.

The HKS Turbos are the way to go.

I have been running the HKS 2530 turbos for around 6 months now with no complaints.

i just simply sprayed some oil into the calipers.

Sorry mate,

Wrong Garry.

Gary Stewart was who the comment was directed at.

Cheers,

Alex.

Be good to see you again Garry...engine still holding together ?

 

Alex - I'm not sure we've met before but the engine's fine thanks

 

Great idea CHL

Be good to see you again Garry...engine still holding together ?

Where is Paul ? he should be up for this!!!!

Count me in providing my car is back, so put me down as a provisional at the moment.

I have an Azure OEM bonnet you can have for £50. Only problem being the bonnet is in Surrey but the offer is there if you are stuck.

Andy,

I have a use for the bonnet if S1 HNK is not wanting it.

You have pm.

Cheers,

Alex.

When someone on here confidently asserts "both are good..up to X,Y,Z" it would be awesome to have some data/evidence... otherwise I, and probably others, just ignore it as Yet Another Opinion

What evidence would you like mate ?

What I posted previously was my own personal experiences and not another opinion.

I have pushed these engines beyond the limit in N/A, Supercharged and Twin Turbo format.

What data would you like me to produce ?
