Guest prescience Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Some of you are probably aware from the FS forum that I am currently selling my car - it went on PistonHeads this afternoon also. I am considering de-installing the kit prior to selling the car. If anyone is interested in pursuing that option and purchasing the kit (which has only done 1500 miles) with any of the additional modifications which I have also on the car, feel free to give me a shout. If I was to de-install I would probably have it done at Abbey Motorsport in Surrey or TDI in Essex (as both know what they are doing with the Vortech kit) and that also might be worth considering for a co-ordinated de-install/install at around the same time (to ensure no parts go missing for one thing ) and since it should make the job even the more straightforward. Edit------> Ballpark cost - £2500 for the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Price? Won't work on your car mate or MY06. Price discussions on PM please but ballpark figure - £2500 for the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Won't work on your car mate or MY06. Sorry if this is a noob question, explain pleasee, why wont it work on an '06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the technical reasons without contacting Vortech - probably simply fitment-related. However they are developing (and may have already developed) a specific kit for MY06 and were looking some months back for donor cars to test it out - in the US.

I assume its something to do with the new 300 bhp rev up engine that is present in the MY06 and GT4 zeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptist Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Correct, fitment to the 06 motor is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 So although there are no guarantees since I am still planning to sell the car as is (will review in 2 weeks), I do have a price in mind for all items as shown in the FS thread - so if you want to propose a price, I'll let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 It was sold on the car see here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 I had got as far as arranging the date (25 Sep) for TDi to take the kit off and sell individually when I spotted the message on my mobile's answerphone - it was all over in a few hours. He was keen to start with (had the cash) but the first time I put my foot down, it was all over He made some interesting remarks: - coming from a Supra, he thought the stock Z wasn't fast enough; this bodes well for the future for the FI guys - he was concerned about it being a base car but my re-trim to leather/alcantara solved the issues he had; not concerned about cruise, Bose or heated seats but the leather is important and for £500 notes would be worth considering for those non-GT boys - he loved the Kuro but wouldn't have one due to the swirling of the paint on the ones he had seen; treat yours lovingly Kuro peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptist Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Definitely needs FI, agree with that. Happy you got what you wanted mate. Keep in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 So what are you buying next, if anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Definitely needs FI, agree with that.Happy you got what you wanted mate. Keep in touch. Yes I did, I wasn't for moving on price once I had determined (as we discussed on MSN) what could be made by splitting. No way its a slow car, people should not mis-understand me, its just that for the brave of heart, FI offers so much more and the dynamics etc of the car prove how capable it is of handling the extra power. When you get that motor of yours done and somewhere accessible, that is one thing I want to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptist Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Anytime, build is done, running in next week, then mapping. We'll see what she does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
