Default New pics of my turbo Z

Well here are the new pics and info. Heres a list of all my "mods"

-2003 Chrome Silver Track-

Greddy Twin Turbos with FMIC
-Hot coated Manifolds, Down Pipes, and Turbine Housings
-Greddy Type RS Blow Off Valve
-Ingnition harness, and Map sensor
-Defi Boost, and EGT Gauge
-AEM Wideband O2 Gauge
-CJ Motorsports Fuel System
-JWT Clutch and Flywheel
Everything was installed and tuned at CJ Motorsports, 350hp, 345tq @ ~5 psi

-Borla TD Exhaust
-Hotchkis Springs and Sway Bars(set to Med/Med)

Veilside V1 CF Front Lip
Nismo Replica Side Skirts & Spoiler (Spoiler was cut up, and modified to change the angle and look)
Top Secret Rear Mud Gaurds

And other little stuff I cant remeber right now. I have a Blitz SBC iD Bootst controller with the Power Meter on the way, Nismo Finned Alum Diff Cover that I powdercoated blue, and I have APS Test Pipes sitting in my garage waiting to go in. Anyhow, on to the pics!

Looks great! Please don't be like everyone else and get 19" wheels :/ It would look great on 18" Gram Lights.

Looks good, def need more aggressive wheels. Why did you go with the fuel system if your only pushing 5psi? Im assuming your going to upgrade or at least turn up the boost later?

looks very nice. the only suggestion i have would be to strip the powdercoat off of the nismo diff cover before you install it. the whole idea of the fins are to extract heat from the diff, and the powdercoat will severely hinder that.

I'm turning up the boost real soon. I am still waiting for my boost controller. Damn backorder! Wheels will hopefully come next year. My pockets are empty right now! I dont know what I am going to get though.

oh boy... you are gonna **** your pants after puting in the boost controller and the test pipes and a little tuning... the gains are gonna feel as good as going from NA to turbo.

As for wheels... stick with 18s unless your gonna go for show... sometimes i wish I got 18s. Depends on the mood and what im doing. Those 5Zigen FN01RCs that I use for my drag radials are decently light and inexpensive... do you at least have a color decided on for wheels?

Shoooosh!! Incase you forgot, yours is Orange. Lambo Orange! When we gonna go embarrass some corvette guys??

Z Boy-Charles doesnt feel it is all that necasarry for the CAS wire. He didnt run one on his, and had no problems. I feel pretty confident with his opinion. Maybe I will have him throw one on there when he does the boost controller.
