prescience ''I Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm sorry I lost my normal login - but it may not surprise to note (given recent postings) that there is absolutely no long-term joy to be had for supercharging (can't speak for turbocharging) the Z. There is the constant feeling that the end is nigh (and/or that your investment is toast) and from personal experience the feeling that when you sell, the problem is ended is nowt but a relief. Deep pockets required and £40k deep doesn't remove the feeling, I can assure you. The Z is a brilliant car at the price: N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z is a brilliant car at the price: N/A And out of the shadows comes the usual purveyor of doom and gloom I'll take that on the chin as it's probably deserved But the evidence is that unless you have specialist backup (Alex, Abbey etc) UK F/I owners do much less mileage and/or bail out quickly. I think that's because you are constantly listening to every little noise, checking your gauges and convincing yourself all is really OK. That removes a lot of the pleasure - well it did for me at least.

nurrish Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 You are absolutely correct.....the fun was totally sucked out for me with all the extra attention it needed....I missed being able to drive it how I wanted to drive it....instead when driving I was constantly worried about damaging it....I will be happy to be n/a for the time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that the car is setup right now & should last assumming I don't neglect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that the car is setup right now & should last assumming I don't neglect it well when you decide to mod the car you've decided to shorten the lifespan of the engine and all the other bits and pieces that would be getting more stress put on them, for instance a tracked 350Z would need lots of stuff replaced very quickly compared to one spending most of it's days on the M1 doing 30-35Mph. For the modding engine part lets for arguments sake say they decided the parts would last 150k/miles... if you start modding and putting extra stress on the engine this number will decline... I'd be concerned FI'ing a high mileage engine without changing the internals first and give it generally a bit more TLC. If you have a < 50k/miles Z I see no reason why you'd FI it and keep it happy for another 30-40k/miles... I'd say it would be well looked after if the owner bothered to FI it in the first place I do however would be put off buying an N/A car that had been FI'd if I didnt know the full story or the owner themselves. Not sure what Nurrish is doing! IMO I think he'd had to much last weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 After reading these latest comments, all i can say is, to those that are driving their supercharged 350Z about with a feeling of petrified doom, then sell the supercharger setup to me CHEAP! and i will enjoy every minute of it without fear i think i have a couple of hundred in the bank spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot worry to much, a well set up 400bhp S/C will last as long as stock car , but as long as it is built well and set up well, Nurrish was running to much boost full stop and I told him that. run a HKS kit, it is quiet, fits very well and makes good power @ a low boost level.
