SPL website , order everything for the Z33, the combo works great.

Ditch the wheels or get a set of 18's for track and play.

kylin nelson

kylin nelson

^^^ Get off of your high horse, kid.

With $10k laying around for suspension the obvious choices would be all SPL components and Moton or Ohlin coilovers.

kylin nelson

its not a high horse im stating the obvious but thanks for your ideas

Hey folks! I'm pretty new to the forum but I've had the greatest pleasure in reading kylin's posts. I do however think we are all being trolled. There's absolutely no way someone would build a Z like this. I lol'd so hard at the stingray headlights post. Made joining this forum ever more worth it.

kylin nelson

Well sorry for the late post but the car is apart and I have a few questions so sense the 350 uses mainly all aluminum suspension parts I started to just grind them so they look more so of a brushed aluminum but my question is what would you guys prefer the brushed aluminum look or powder coated a color my wheels are gold and have a polished lip and then I have the kw club sport coilovers that are yellow and silver and my car is brickyard

kylin nelson

so just a few pictures tell me if you like the brushed look or if i should just powder coat them

Are you replacing the bushings on the suspension arms or did you just take them off to brush them?

Did you blow up a can of WD40 getting all of that off (4th pic)?

Looks like you're making a show car, not a car for the track.

kylin nelson

so here a few things that have arrived theres a kinetix intake manifold nwp big bore throttle body magnaflow cat back system nismo r tune headers and then i have the KandN intake/short ram air intake in the box in the garage and then waiting on the kw club sport coilovers and then the cusco front and rear sway bars and the whiteline front and rear sway bar end links and then orderd a black alluminum underbody and ya thats it so far

kylin nelson

and yes ordered the energy full suspension bushing kit and ya lots of wd40 previous owner for some reason drove it year round in south dakota were i live

With all of the money you're dumping into brand new parts for your car, why aren't you going FI ? The gains from all of bolt-ons you spent on your DE engine will still put you below 300 whp

kylin nelson

and its not a show car but i atleast want it to look nice and clean and then i also forgot i got the wilwood big break kit as well in black

kylin nelson

i will never do fi this is just little stuff i wanted to buy for it till after college when i feel like spending 25 grand on a na engine that our engine builder will do we only build na unless its one of our trucks then turbos are fine but in one of the previous pictures you see part of a challenger that we built and that has 780 hp and 680 torque and ya its a road course beast but ya all of our cars we build are na monsters so i will fallow suit and i think they sound better

Should've stick to those AWESOME megans coils man! KW club sport are for losers like me that take their Z out to a track and mindlessly running circles!

Ballaz should always go with balla partz like those megans~!

kylin nelson

i would of stuck to them but then i found some things i didnt like about them so got the kw club sport instead was going to get cuscos zero 3 but i dont have time to wait for them at the moment so maybe when i build the engine ill put some motons on it but well see the kw were like 3200 so thats fine for now

I had no idea people in South Dakota were growing money trees. May consider a move.
