actually what has to be cut is very minor, you will basically retain the full crash bar.

The greddy fmic doesnt fit witht he crash bar at all actually...you would have to cut it completly and only have "the sides" of it left....not to mention its not compatible with the PL kit anyways

 

Sounds good. Thnks. The GT35R turbo i'm thinkn might be a better choice for me as far as where i drive the most. The price from MRC also looks solid. Good stuff!

 

I'm guessing this is my kit?

 

ys julian is talking to you

 

Hmm no call yet, must be waiting on the GReddy stuff. No worries, Still need to get my car inspected this saturday. GEICO is hold me up since they can't seem to send the right insurance card....what a bunch of jamoaks.

 

I got GEICO too.... It took them 6 tries to send me the correct decleration to provide to my bank!

 

They try and be so nice on the phone so it distracts you from their incompetence

 

that sums it up.....



the wait will be all worth it though... your car should turn out pretty nice

 

Yea i am really excited. The Z was loosing flavor, this will kick it up a notch...BAM.

I was really about to sell it and get out of the game with gas going skyhigh, i'm not ballin out of control like some of the guys on this forum. This is really a car I want to keep forever.

The only thing is the the NJ roads arn't getting any better, I can't even boost safely (read: without potholes) on the highway outside my house. Hitting a pothole in boost is begging to wreck. There are some decent reoads, but you gotta go through a slew of holes to get to them....you can't win

 

Back on topic...

Slide...i just saw that I am going to loose my windshield wiper fluid resirvoiur???? really??

 

I'm in the same boat bro... this is why my first choice was to get a Vortech SC but the noise is just un-bareable for me. The roads by me are brutal too.. So with that said i'm still trying to decide between greddy twins or this kit.. either way boost is the way to go. All my buddies cars are boosted and no one really has had any horror stories of over boosting from peeling out when hitting a pothole (or however one would pop from those circumstances).. But none are boosted z's..

 

I'm concerned about wrecking, not overboosting. The rev limiter will be there and the boost is set by spring pressure. I except very very little to no boost creep or spike

 

well you get to basically keep the crash bar with teh PL if you are concern about safety(wrecks)
With greddy you have to cut the crash bar completly and only have the "sides" left"

 

Funny i asked the same Q.. My buddy has an RX with a FMIC (had to remove the crash bar completey to install) and barely tapped someone from behind and had to get a new FMIC cause he busted the fins up pretty good. So i guess it is re-assuring to know that ur just modifying it as oppsoed to completley cutting it out or removing it..

 

The FMIC+Crashbar was an issue for me too. I wasn't going to get rid of it because of the simtuation described above. PL seems to have a winner here, I'm getting all antsy in the pantsy for it!!

I wanted to remove my front plate, fill in the bracket mounting holes and reshoot my front end to help with airflow...but I don't need a simple reason for cops to pull me over.

 

Unfortunately, Yes.

 

Can i just source a smaller one? I could cut mine, use a soldering gun to melt it back together and make a smaller one

 

yeah talk to J, he can probably relocated it for you or try somethign else like a container similar to the tanks you use for meth kits that can stay hiden on below the passenger side headlight.. Its not a big deal, hell figure something out



THe FMIC is pretty big as you can see on this picture from jeffie:


sorry for the crappy pic but here you get an idea how it fits with crash bar:

 

I was thinking the same thing. I saw a Z at Intense getting a Powerlab kit getting installed, and nver realized how HUGE the resevoir was. The pumps are all on the bottom, and I was thinking if you cut it in half and cut the top off for the filler neck and melt the two plastic sides together.... it might work!

 

I will have Julian look into it while he is in there...I rarely use it. Hell, I might as well take off thw wiper blades too...havn't driven it in the rain since last year coming back from the beach! I kid...don't worry...

That is a big effin intercooler!

The turbo lag must get pretty bad over about 500-550 whpr, don't you think?
