so i went with my cousin to a nissan dealer in GA to pick up his wife's car, and what do i see?






stillen equipped Z!
any1 else seen this

 

probably a trade in, its a 03-05

 

heres the pics, just use [ img ] [/ img] tags

 

that's an 06

It has the rev up engine and only the 2006's have that or the 2005 track or grand touring - which would have brembo brakes, not regular brakes

so it must be a 2006

if it was OEM, it wouldn't have a blue supercharger pulley

 

they had 3 of them.... the roadster was goin for 54k!!! i dont think they were trades . they didnt even have gauges on.

 

rip off

 

how can you tell its a revup engine? I dont know the signs..thought they were internal changes.

 

well i know the local infiniti dealer is really trying to push stillen SC's on their G35's. They sell them installed right off the showroom floor

 

is an 03-05, look at the head lights.

 

that's just weird - yeah those are the older headlights


why would a dealer put a rev up engine, with ECU, on an 03-05?
or maybe they put older headlights on an 06?

rev up engine
stillen SC
aftermarket wheels
nismo side skirts and front lip - probably spoiler
but on an 03-05???

wonder if they're used or not - blown up engines??

 

how can you tell its a revup sentry?

 

look at the timing belt cover. they are different from the non rev-up.


weird, I guess they have the older headlights, I hope.

 

ooo lil vent-lookin things... we don't have timing belts, rather timing chains, correct?

Also, that block had to have been dropped in like said before (older headlights, newer motor) because none come stock with the timing cover polished up like that...? I thought they came with that cast aluminum look just like our stock plenum.

 

Yep. You can see the difference on the exhast cam part of the cover.

 

how much were the cars selling for?
I'm guessing a lot

 

I'm guessing so, he said the Roadster was 54k, so I doubt the coupes were much less. Atleast these guys have something done to the car for that price. My local Nissan STEALership still has 4 05 Z roadsters listed for $52,000 on autotrader and nothing on them. its no wonder they still have them.

 

See the timing chain covers on either side of the blue pulley?... on the earlier models they were flat... in the pics they have patterns stamped in them and are grooved.

 

Timing belt, timing chain, same difference you know what I meant though.

 

stock air box with SC = homo
