the 350 is a great car, somewhat like your situation, i had a fully eg with a jdm b18c, skunk2 stage 3 cams, 85mm bore, jdm itr header, skunk2 im, hondata, etc. it put down 224whp and 160 tq (not bad for "dinky little honda" best part about it was being able to pass 350s, g35s, wrx's, sti's etc, on the freeway of course. however when i went to the z, it was def different, most noticeably no lift system like vtec. however, the 06 increase the redline and it definitely made it easier to adjust.

 

I left my 00 gsr (supercharged) that made 244hp, 177tq and I miss the car a lot, but Im glad I moved on at the same time. The car was very quick, but it was loud, creaky and a theft magnet.

shameless plug: the gsr's s/c is for sale, pm me for info.

 

I had a 1998 GSR with Bolt ons:

AEM Intake, DC Header, Greddy Exhaust, Ground Control Coil Overs, Tokiko Blues, Fittipaldi 17's, aftermarket hot coil.

I liked my GSR but comes no where near my Z.
No regrets at all except that the kid that bought my GSR ruined it but modding the sh*t out of it and doing it incorrectly.

 

I had a fully 93 Civic hatch with an internally stock FULL RACE turbo'd gsr motor, made 346 whp at 11psi,on EARLY HONDATA PIGGYBACK, ran a best et on slicks of 11.98 @118 and ate everything that i ever raced on the road, I never lost to anything on the road except an 11 secon awd talon. I miss that honda, when I got the Z i got it bc I graduated college and got a great job,, I also wanted something that I could park everywhere, too many thieves out here,, driving the Z got more attention from people, esp the chicks,, but my honda would easily eat up most FI Z's on this forum,, Driving my na Z is not to much of a thrill, but its safe , reliable, and sexy as hell..

 

dude if the Z had some form of audible VTEC like hondas do that would def be sick. ( im pretty sure our Z's do have variable valve timing though, right? just not like vtec)

 

Well Ive made the decision to keep the integ for myself. Gonna bite the bullet and pay for another garage space (2 car garage rented house). Its only $50/month anyways. Sellign the GSR I would get crap $$ and its worth alot more to me. Thanks guys!

 

Good choice. I'm jealous. I wish I could have kept my EP3 (2003 Civic Si-the hatchback) but there was no way I could afford two brand new cars purchased only 1.5 years apart. By all means, keep the GSR in the garage!!! Those damn broke Civic guys (haha, I could've been one myself, but broke because I have a Z too) will do nothing smart with your motor if they ever get their filthy hands on it.

 

what a selfish guy. give it to ur bro man.

 

variable timing but no lift on the cam....the thing that makes the engine go:
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-BWHAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!....


lol

 

The reason I can get the extra garage spot is my old roomate is moving out. My bro is moving down here to go to UCI and will be living with me so Ill let him drive now and then. I jsut recently learned about all this is. This is how I can get the other garage spot now! Funny how things work out!

er, now i jsut need to buy the damn Z!

 

my last car before my z was by far the funnest cars to drive that i have owned...i had a civic, integra, a wrx, and now an 06 z, i miss my subby! but i'm starting to have fun with the z

 

um..I went from an R6 to a 350Z..so anything feels heavier than the R6

 

Hey guys,
I came from a 05 F350 pickup with a turbo diesel....It was time for me to own a sports car...I miss the truck a bit due to it's massive appearance and safety concerns....I get a bit nervous in the Z on the highways passing big trucks and tractor trailers...otherwise i love the feeling from the Z

 

my friend went from type-r integra to g35c.. He never looked back

 

sold my first GSR when they first came out..loved them
so I got another and then eventually the novelty and design and look of the car grew old and tired..so I sold it and got a better car my 350z..which i then proceeded to mod and add a TT there is no looking back just looking to get something comparable to the power it puts out..a new Z06 looks interesting
