I don't mean to be rude or anything but it seems like the red color make it look like the front left fender look like it's been in an accident lol......

It doesn't flow right.... Looks like someone backed into the front left fender

 

Damn not too bad,wheels look badass too. Some spacers and wider tires would make it perfect! The front flows better with the HR hood.

 

The frs rb kit just looks better.....

 

I agree the FRS looks really good.

 

COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA gone TURBO.

COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA spent it on SUPER LOTTO PLUS tickets

COULDA SHOUDLA WOULDA drowned in my puke

COULDA SHOUDLA WOULDA smothered a first born son, in dog **** and teabagged the mother's face

 

Am not going to lie 5k is quite a bit... Of money... Imo turbo is a waste of money... For Street driving...

Stock power is more than adequate for enjoyment on the street.

Would I spend my money on an rb kit probably not...

I had always said turbo kit will make a difference of about .5 seconds and not many people are going to compliment your car

But if you change the appearance with tasteful appearance changes more people will notice and compliment it

 

Lol stock power enough for enjoyment? Lol. If you find a 14 second car fun to drive, then sure. For me the stock 240whp is too slow.

The z33 is a long wheelbase and fairly wide. Its by no means a lightweight sports car either. The vq35de has good torque but it needs a solid 50-100hp to even be relevent. A vq35hr in a lightened up car with full bolt ons, gears and sticky tires could be fun around town. But the car was never quick even when new. Now most z's are a bit worn in the rings and likely down in power.
I mean unless you dont mind that a chick on a 250 or 300 could beat you. Or that you dont mind the s2k outhandling it drastically on small roads where high power doesnt matter.

A vortech or bp kit is all you need to make the car really fun


But i digress. A full rb kit painted and installed is at least 6 grand. Id much rather have a blower and some tires any day of the week. That still doesnt account for the wheels, or the suspension stuff needed to not make the car look stupid. But then you have a car youd be super paranoid to park anywhere, or drive on the street, that handles very poorly, looks stupid, and is still very very slow... actually even more so because you cant even put down 200whp on a 1 inch cambered out contact patch with cheap stretched out low profile tires.

Hella flush is modern day rice. Just because some people pour a lot of money into wheels and suspension, doesn't mean it's not rice. It's embarassing to own an import and watch people struggle to pull into the vons parking lot, backing up traffic with their fckng rota wheels, crap coils, loud crappy exhaust, and 30 million stickers about what "crew" they roll with

 

It's called taste? Obviously your taste lies elsewhere. Car culture is fueled by people having different opinions and that's what makes it great. I think you've proven your point by now.

 

I said for the street...... Your describing track related activities....

Track is a whole different situation. Nobody is going to go all out on the street on a quarter mile on the freeway when the speed limit is 65. Unless you want a speeding ticket and I got too many of those already...

For drag strip or circuit racing I would opt to go all out because their are no limits...

 

Your roads must suck. I cant remeber the last time i didnt get in a car and go 100mph at least once in a day, aside from maybe pure commuting.

 

The roads in my area sucks ***!

 

resmarted
only issue is that a stock appearance 350z with 500 HP, well , still looks like azz at the end of the day

 

roflol

 

lol

Ride in my car on the street. See if you ever wanna go stock again...

 

i have to heartly disagree.

When I see an ultra clean stock Z33 rolling by, I still get car pr0n feels.

When a clean Z33, lowered tastefully and on some quality wheels goes by, well, I'll bust one reeeall quick

 

I am not sure if you people understand it doesn't matter how much power you have on the street. If you have to follow the ******** rules of the speed limit the stock hp is enough.

Of course it would be great to have a lot of hp and be USABLE on the street. But most likely you won't be using it because of the traffic laws.

I am not disagreeing that more hp would be more fun if I could rock 800 to 1100 hp and have the freedom to drive down public streets going 90 mph in 25 mph residential neighborhoods running over children I would but I am not allowed to.

 

Running children over in a residential area? I've never seen children playing on on-ramps and highways

 

If I had access to the autobahn you better believe I would put 700 plus hp in my z lol

 

Not so sure I agree that more hp = more fun. I've owned many cars over the last 10 years, multiple cars at once and it hasn't always been the highest hp car that was the most fun. It was to the contrary, the more hp I added or went NA-turbo, the less fun they became.

I've seen a few people go from the almighty GTR to an Evo X, or something else because it lacked the fun factor. My brother just sold his e92 M3 and said he liked driving his old s2000 more. There's a reason why low hp cars like the Miata and FRS/BRZ are called fun, and it's not because of hp.

 

Thats why cars like the fiesta st are great dailies... theyre fun to drive.

But with the z33 you've got a chassis that well out peforms the engine output. A 500hp z is boatloads of fun. A 300hp one is fun for maybe the first few weeks or months depending on how youre driving it.

Following road rules yeah sure. You cant use full stock power in traffic. But on a country road at odd hours you can use as much power as you dare stab your foot into.

If you don't have enough power, the car feels underwhelming and disapointing. And the z33 isnt light or small enough to do crazy inertial driving on quick small roads. Its got a fair amount but I quickly felt like it wasnt enough. I'm not saying build an engine and go nuts, just a simple bolt on FI system changes the car. Throw on good springs and dampers, tires, brake pads/fluid/lines and you've got a car that peforms well above what you paid for on the street.

As for stock body, yeah you can make it look a bit better. But the z33 of all cars can look truely bad if you go too extreme with it. The rb is proof. Same with veilside and tons of other body kits. The car has great lines and a pretty classic style. It's a hell of a lot better looking than the z34 imho.

Anyway, to get a car with rb looking good you can easily spend 10 grand between paint wheels kit and suspension. That 10 grand can mean bumper/lip kit, fi kit, tires maybe even wheels etc etc. Bring the car to be much more fun to drive rather than make it look "cool".
