The Useless East Canada thread!
04-29-2013, 05:02 PM
So I'm driving down Can-Amera like 20 min ago, and I get a rolling start on a newer Eclipse full of teens at a light. Its raining just a little bit and is perfect condition for a clutch kick.
So I roll up beside them in neutral and put it in 3rd, followed by a clutch kick. So by then my rear tires are spinning and 3rd gear was a good choice because I could build up some speed as I hit it off the rev limiter from time to time. I carefully corrected my steering angle as we were basically side by side and didnt want to collide of course.
I rode it out, followed by a "peace" out the window as they tore off past me wishing they had a 350z.

I'm going to start a "Feeler" FS thread for my TT Z, 10k?
It seamed to work for Mike with his headers.
Then I can get hundreds of guys interested, create a bidding war and jack up the price to 1 Million ha-ha.

Had two guys on some race bikes driving behind me today. When I pulled up to a red light both of them pulled up to my passenger window and got my attention. They then proceeded to tell me that my car sounds fn awesome... The one guy said that it sounded like a V10. I just laughed and told him that I just had some bolt on mods and exhaust with some HFCs. He was like wow I thought it was a TT set-up. He then looked at my wheels and gave me a thumbs up and bolted off into the sunset.
Now image if they heard 2TH PWR's car...

hey, there are definitely some from the Ottawa area, but, not sure how much they check in.
As for my part prices. art will prob stay the same at 500.
Reason I changed the headers is because they are going back into production and 370 guys want em big time. HUGE gains seen on that platform. And only used 2 track days so basically new. it was actuallyXChacalX who said I was letting the headers go wayyy to cheap. So I was thinking 700 for the headers and they will prob sell to a 370Z guy.

well a company is gonna try and make a copy of the Momentum.
They are still a few months away from selling them and as I said on the other 370z forum is;
I doubt it very much that Z1 will match the quality of the Momentum header. wait and see.
with all the work involved to make that kind of header, I cant see them selling those momentum copy anything below 1200$
if they do make a special entry price. jump on it I guess....
the only reason why a few of us (not me) managed to get them below 1000$ brand new was that they went out of business.

Anyone in Niagara/Hamilton/Halton know of a junk yard with a 350 in it? I need some misc stock engine parts like an upper plenum and maybe a front timing cover. And maybe the stupid front passenger cupholder too. Hate that thing.

How did your car feel after the tune? Was it worth the money - noticeable difference?
260/258 is what I'm expecting.

It's a 2006 g35. Should be the same rev-up in yours I think.
I got the tune years ago, iirc my initial impressions were that I liked the improved throttle response, and that the engine sounded angrier. It does add some power too, and it will put your AFR where it should be with all of your breather mods. No question I would spend the money on it again.

Its actually a really fun car. The Nismo puts out nearly 200whp and only weighs 2900lbs (which is nearly the power to weight of the stock Z!). Comes with stiffer suspension, summer tires/18s, bucket seats, suede steering wheel and obviously the body kit/spoiler. It makes for a really solid daily driver, I drove it to Ottawa Friday and got decent mileage even with the bike on the roof.
Still rolls a lot when you throw it in corners and the driving position feels really high, but Im just used to the Z. Ill still get a toy after I move but probably not until the spring.
