Smile Newbie Question...

Hi all,

First post here. Based in the UK. We only have 1700 Z's in the country (Not much in the market for mods) so I'm loking for assistance to increase BHP.

Not interested in major things just breathing and which intakes you perfre / have tested.

Thanks
Ric.

PS. I see you refer to your motors having 250 bhp. I thought it was 280 standard ?

The US Spec 350z has 287hp at the crank/flywheel. That is different from an at the wheels reading which is what the 250hp would be. For power to get to the wheels it has to do allot of things first which cost hp. You loose that power by spinning gears, driveshaft, axles, wheels etc the friction involved in that process also robs power.

Understood, we have the same spec here. Do you get the integrated phone system in the US spec ? They want £200 for the cradle
