If there is a noticable amount of oil inside the exhaust pipe ends, the engine needs new compression rings at least and it will burn a lot of oil if you don't change them. That is a bit expensive.

 

Hi Bro,

Thanks for feedback .How much would that cost ?

JMNC.

 

Depends on your shop costs for labour but as an example of what they could probably change at that time:

High spec head gasket: $350
High spec head studs: $480
OEM Bearings: $780
High spec piston rings: $300

If you need new pistons, forged pistons from Cosworth cost approx.: $2,250 for a set. If you also changed the connecting rods to Cosworth, another $2,250.

Could also need a valve job which would cost more in parts and labour.

Labour cost: $1,500-$2,000
(All priced in Sing $)

You could also need new hoses, belts, plugs etc. for another $1,200-$1,500 depending on what spec you want.

Around $10k or more depending on what parts need to be replaced. Maybe $0 if it is in good condition.

 

HI Bro,

Thanks for input..Just saw I unit yr 2004, mileage 30K. Asking price SGD$70K.
With body Kit, 17" rim, navigation, reversed camera. But exterior can see many scracthes as it's black in colour.

A good re-spray will cost you about $3,000. A cheap spary for about half that but I would do it right if at all.

 

Hi Bro,

Thanks for advice, the dealer told me there is another 2004 unit coming 3 weeks. Hopefully, this one is better condition.

Do you hv any idea in SG where can I get the Nismo Anniversay Edition 18" rims ? Also how much for 18" rim and tyre will cost in SG, average Japanese rim wth 5 spoke design?

Thanks, JMNC

 

I found my Nismo Rays Engineering rims at Tan Chong (the Nissan dealer) and they were $6,000 with tires. I have not found any other low weight forged rims but they must be around.

 

sorry for the late reply, for those who are interested in the meetup.

i'm sent a PM to those that expressed interested for the 14th Feb meetup.

 

not sure where you can find the Nismo Anniversary rims, but you can hang around the Singapore Z forum in the delphi forums. people do sell their rims from time to time.

 

Hi Bro,

Thanks for advice.

How much and average 18" rim in SG cost ?
Mid-range type.

JMNC

 

Not sure. probably budget $300-$500 each.

 

Hey are there anymore meet ups? its getting really boring driving a 350z...

no kakis ... such a lonely life

 

you can join the Nissan Fairlady 350Z SG/MSIA group in facebook.

get to know some of them or you can organise a meetup also.

 

Hi all,

stumbled upon this forum and was surprised and glad that there's an active group of 350Z owners in Singapore. I've seldom see more then 2 Zs at the same place at the same time. The only time was when i bumped into another red colour Z on the SLE towards TPE in the night. Felt nice cruising together.

I drive a silver Z350 Roadster, nothing much done on it. Anyway, i live in the east and it'll be cool to know more like minded enthusiast.

Cheers everyone.

It was just over S$80k in parts and labour all in and managed 401bhp at the crank/flywheel and 321whp. 329ft/lbs at the crank/flywheel and 263ft/lbs at the wheels. Was done by Garage R Performance Centre (HKS Technical Factory) here in Sg. I owe the great results to Lester and his great team there.

Might seem a little expensive to some but it was a project I really wanted to see through.

 

Greetings

Just bought a 350Z from TC due to be ready in a week, let to know if there are activities and advice from fellow members.

Cheers.
