Vlad Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Awesome work mate! Should've asked on here for "sun visors" for the gauge - I have few and don't use them, so you could've just had them On the dyno sheet - is that power at fly or at the hubs? ...don't worry yours is still more powerful. That's ok then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 ...all you need now is some nice coilovers. And I know someone who can help you with this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 ...all you need now is some nice coilovers. And I know someone who can help you with this problem I was thinking of Tein springs one day maybe just for a little drop although coilovers do appeal to me as I'd prefer to lower the back more than 14mm, ..was thinking more like 20mm on the rear. Might just cut the rubber mounts though with Tein springs on the rear to give a 14mm+5mm equaling a 19mm drop. Need to start saving up some more cash now though as it's not cheap this supercharging lark. As you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thinking about the rubber mount mod ! These springs paired with some anti roll bars would make a great everyday set up . Would love to lower it more but it's just not practical for driving at a good pace down a nice country road . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These springs paired with some anti roll bars would make a great everyday set up . Would love to lower it more but it's just not practical for driving at a good pace down a nice country road . Totally agree. This is my everyday car and as much as I like a lowered look I'm not willing to compromise the driveability of the car for it. Here's someone else that has done the mod in case you're interested: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87017-rear-spring-mount-mod-carried-out-to-level-stock-suspension/ Be interested to see pictures of your car with the Teins after you've done the rubber mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ya had a look at that thread , looks good . The only time I notice the rear being slightly higher than the front is when he fuel tank is empty . When it's full it looks spot on Your car must fly with that bhp now ! I think it's what the zed should have had from the factory , around the 400 mark . Do stillen do a kit for the HR version then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they started out like this for sure. Stillen do a kit for the HR but I know very little about it at all as all my research was for the DE engine.

GMballistic Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well I said this thread would be slowing down now the big reveal has happened, ...todays addition, ....a P-clip. Holds my breather pipe and looks cooler than a cable tie so I'm happy for the £1.18 odd total it cost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah but what a P clip ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah but what a P clip ! Thanks buddy. Stainless steel with sweeping curves, rubber surrounded edges for increased pipe protection all fitted via a stainless steel allen key head bolt. Doesn't get much cooler than that for a P-clip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Wow every day cars supercharged what mpg you achieving now charged Not a flippin' clue, ...really doesn't concern me either. I only do low mileage each year as work is very close to where I live so that helps keep the miles down. I've always gone for performance cars and honestly have no interest whatsoever in mpg. Poor mpg is just a part of owning a performance vehicle imo. Sure it would be nice if my car did 50mpg but I fill up usually every week regardless.

ChrisB Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Good reuse of that annoying redundant intake mounting point with a P clip. I would have stolen that cool P clip idea for mine - except my breather is buried well underneath with the Vortech airfilter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 It did turn out to be a useful mounting point Chris which is nice. Probably going to have a go at tidying some other pipes/wires etc up on the weekend unless I decide to just drive it, ...which lets be honest, is much more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes love that attitude Also worth mentioning that since I've changed the fuel injectors & the fuel system even my Zed hasn't a clue what mpg it's doing. Think it's because part of the standard way it works out the mpg is off fuel injector cycle. Oh well never mind, ..if I had wanted economical I'd have bought a Prius.
