Well your Z is one of how many? Not very unique other than your wheels and body kit. Then again how many people are sporting the same body kit and wheels? Not trying to start chit up, but I just don'g get the whole being unique/ST route. There are how many ST now? You will be unique in that you are running a bigger turbo. <---- Not that big of a difference.

I am not telling you to go TT. You do what you want. It's your car and your money. I look forward to seeing your results. Good luck!

They don't look boring, they look too easy. It's good to know everyone here is so happy with the status quo. Hopefully in the future everyone will run a greddy tt with the exact same setup. Won't you all feel special then?

None are sporting the same body kit and wheels. Since I've done my car many have copied the look, but there's none that are the same.

Why the hell would all the TT guys be telling me to go TT? Seriously, do you WANT every other car to be like yours? I mean, if I had a built TT I'd want to see more options so not everyone and their dog would be running the same setup as me.

Oh, and I assure you I won't be doing anything "bolt on" like the greddy kits I see running around.

I don't keep my suitcases full of money in my trunk. I live in Miami bro! Now my big ***** might slow me down enough for you to keep up.






























I am j/k.

I don't agree. That's the point of modifying a car, as in making it your own and giving it identity. Oh, then there's going fast...

My point was you drive a 350z. It's not unique. It's not like you are driving a Gallardo or something.

I am not telling you to get a TT. I just don't get how you call your set up unique.

Unless I misunderstood you are only changing out your turbo, adding a RFS, and pretty much running the rest of the Turbonetics kit as you have it now. That's pretty bolt on to me.

I could care less about being original. Come on, this is a mass produced car!

Everyone should have a good enough sense of self worth so they do not need to justify themselves by what car they drive to others. If you do not like my car or me, ok, fine, I am over it.

You do not get laid by the car you drive and if people like you more because of the car you drive, they are not worth being a friend anyways.

You're clearly misinformed. You should know that me/Jeremy are smarter than expecting to simply change out the turbo or compressor wheel and make more power. Other shops have tried that and failed, we're going to make it work.

Basically, I've told no one exactly what we're doing.

OK so adding a bigger turbo, RFS, and changing some things (I assume the dp will be one of them), but other wise you are still using all of the Turbonetics parts.
