My 350z

 

I'm in the city. Finishing school for my jman pipefitter ticket but when I go home Friday I can take some more pics and I will upload them. Pretty sure the shocks r stock but it sits a little lower then normal.

 

Well, based on those pics you have some decent looking brakes. The calipers are larger than stock, and the rotors are cross drilled, so someone was serious about that aspect of the car.

If it's lower than normal, it is more than likely your springs that are modified and NOT stock.

I like the looks of the black accents on the white body. I wouldn't change the aesthetics of the car.

 

I'll take lots and upload as many as I can. Would really like to know what is all done to this thing. It seems the only people that knew r dead or the guy who did all the work on it no one can seem to find him either. I appreciate the help and suggestions. Like I said I don't know much about the tuner world but I love this car and would like to learn. Wanna build this thing right. Not cut corners. My goal
Would b to have about 750 controllable hp. And the car b reliable as well. Only gonna drive it now and then and if I take it far anywhere I'm gonna trailer it. I live a couple hours from edmonton and there is a drag track and a road track u can pay to play.

 

The spoiler and hood r carbon fibre. Actual carbon fibre not just stickers. He was a very wealthy guy so he didn't cheap out. The back brakes r not done though. Is there any reason behind that? It has the gauge pods on the pillars as well and they r carbon fibre. I don't know forsure but I'm sure everything he did to this car was the best parts he could find. He was a all Or nothing kinda guy.

 

Most of the braking is done by the fronts. Maybe your cousin thought the rears weren't a priority.

It sounds like most of the mods are already in place. I suggest you take it to a shop to have it mechanically checked over, take photos, and then see about getting the car on a dyno. Maybe your Z is pretty much already complete.

IMHO, there's no need for tons of HP unless you're just going to brag about it. I think a lot of HP is useless unless you use it, and even then you have to learn how to use that much power. Taking it to a track on a consistent basis is a start. Learning to drive and control the car no matter how much HP you have is the right thing to do.

That's just my 2 cents.

 

Yeah I mean it's a beast now. But that is my plan is to get it looked over and c what's going on. Get it on a dyno. I rented a ferrari 458 in Vegas last year and I've had sickness ever since. It haunts my dreams. Little out of my price range. Best chance I got is making this somewhat comparable.

 

If it's NA, you may have 300whp if you're lucky (and that is an extremely generous estimate, you're more likely around 250-275). If you consider a NA Z a beast, you may want to rethink FI until you're a better driver. Not trying to offend, I'm just being honest.

What's your winter vehicle?

 

Well
I've told that there is a lot done to the motor. Bored out. Pistons. Ported polished. Chip clutch. Headers exhaust chip intake injectors fuel pump. Being it's 280 stock I'm sure it's got more then that. Turbos isn't the only thing that can b done to a motor

 

I've driven ferraris and owned super changed mustangs but I appreciate the concern hahaha. Pretty sure I can tell the diffrence between a stock car.

 

They had 230-260whp. 287 was at the crank.
