350ZDan Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 HI! I posted yesterday regarding a clutch but havent introduced myself... Names Dan(obviously) haha, and have a major obsession with cars and tuning them. Ive had some powerful cars one that ive still got but not run for over 2 years now. A stripped out starlet GT with a 3SGTE(MR2 turbo engine) 2.0liter. Car weighs around 900KG and power of 320BHP. Yes its seriously fast haha. Looking to sell that once up and running again. Ive also had a tracked out civic EK9 type R with 1800cc 200BHP. Took it to Nurburgring and various other tracks. I sold that recently and bought myself a 350Z So far only mods are: Typhoon KnN Intake system Fidanza light flywheel stripped out boot/spare wheel/tools etc etc... I have decats and an aftermarket Y pipe on their way to me. Then order up a plenum spacer + remap.. After that i will decide on a supercharged set up. Thats not 100% yet. I believe i have a good engine in this one as a few drags tell alot. Goes very very well for a supposed 276BHP?! I would say more around the 290hp mark on this engine as bit too fast for 276BHP quoted figure. Heres a couple of pictures of the week a bought it(around 3 months ago during the snowy period, hope you dont mind. Comments and criticism welcomed.. Looks a great forum and look forward to sticking around. Already been very helpful for me Thank Quote
M13KYF Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 you forgot to mention the stubby aerial mod Quote
350ZDan Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 you forgot to mention the stubby aerial mod Haha! eyes of a hawk! I forgot about that. I did that pretty much as soon as i got it as i really wasnt fond of the OEM huge aerial! Cheers dude PS... Actually none of the pictures show my new stubby aerial?? Is that one not OEM? As the one i have now is half the size of that one! Quote
Simon+Kat Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome fella. I bet stripping out the boot space really helps with rear wheel traction Quote
350ZDan Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome fella. I bet stripping out the boot space really helps with rear wheel traction Thanks mate! Haha, Yeah its that bit more twitchy now granted! But the main reason for doing so was to increase boot space!! I cant believe the lack of space in this car Traction isnt great at the moment anyway with the budget tires that were on the car when i bought it! But should be getting new wheels soon so will wrap them with some semi-decent rubber. Quote

Maccaman Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Dan & to the forum. The next thing to do is to get your name down for the BIG Wales meet & drive out in May. Should be about 50 Zeds you could check out & a great chance to meet the people on the forum. Quote
