I couldn't get my hands on a 2009 ZR1 at anything near list price, so I decided to build my G instead. I still really like the car, I'm just ready for more performance. Hopefully the reconstruction of Moroso will be complete right about the time I have my motor broken in and the final tuning complete.

WOW...thats one h*** of an upgrade. Only thing I would change is the RC injectors to Deatchworks.. I didn't know the APS testpipes went with the Greddy TT???

Hopefully some of the Greddy guys will clarify

Roger at Japtrix showed me a 350Z with that setup, so it definitely works.

Both Roger and Kyle have had good experiences with the RC Fuel Injectors, and I myself have spoken directly with RC Engineering. They have great customer service, which I greatly value. So I will stick with them.

APS has test pipes and downpipes, the test pipes should bolt up to the GReddy o2 housings, but there are better options out there that replace everything from the turbo to the catback made specifically for the GReddy kits

You might want to check with Gus/sn Wespak on the exhaust setup. Good Luck with the RC injectors...just trying to help. Once again looks like a great build.

WOW, your are dropping major cash$$$$$$

people will envy you man, that awesome. you'll have sooo much fun with boost!!!

Yeah, it's not cheap. But I have been waiting a long time for a car like this... I finally realized that if I don't do it now, I probably never will. Time just seems to fly by and I'm not getting any younger. My wife told me that if this is as bad as mid-life crisis is going to get, then go for it. (Although she says I have been spending waaayyyy too much time one the forums and researching stuff).

What is your recommendation to use in lieu of the APS test pipes?

You're either real rich or you're just takin out a big *** loan.

and wouldnt it be more fun and not buy all that and just buy a GTR.

ttg35fort

iTrader: (2)

I certainly thought about that, but I don't like the looks of the GTR. Like I indicated earlier, I wanted a ZR1, but I couldn't get one on order without being raped by the dealer. Maybe in a couple of years when the newness of the ZR1 has worn off I'll be able to get hold of one. Anyway, by that time hopefully my eldest son will have his act together and be finishing college. As a carrot, I promissed to give him the G35 as a graduation present. I suspect his younger brother may beat him to it, though.

One of the first things I'll be doing is signing up for track driving lessons at Moroso when it opens back up...

the latest release i have seen is these https://my350z.com/forum/questionable-posts/366228-gt-motorsports-gtm-down-pipes-for-greddy-twin-turbo-systems.html

I know AAM also makes a set, but i'm not sure if you can recirculate the wastegates w/ their set. There may be others that make something, but i haven't done that much research into it. I just know that the GReddy O2 housings are pretty restrictive, and if you are going to spend the money on a set of test pipes, you might as well spend a bit more and eliminate that bottle neck at the same time.
