I dropped off my car today to the Turbo doctor himself (Peter) at APS in Melbourne Australia to begin the transformation from a mild 14sec car into a wild 12sec car (thats if this driver can get his act together), the first kits are shipping to the US all but one. I'm of to Perth tomorrow (work) for the rest of this week and hope to be back in Melbourne early next week ready to pick my transformed 350Z TT.

Will give you all a run down on how it all goes, APS's work is top shelve so the install should go well, I'll post dyno's as soon as I can should be intesting to see what it get's at the wheels. I'm hoping around 270 - 280rwkw for 7 - 8psi for starters.

Hey ZZZ last time you were in Perth I was in Melbourne. Give us a yell if you want to catch up for a coffee/chat during the week!

 

so only one kit was sold in Melbourne? Wow...you will have one fast car! Us Americans are so damn good at blowing money on our cars.

 

ya right

Dear gq626
you have any idea when we can have this APS kit????

 

Yeah David was one of the super keen guys who jumped in early and ordered a APS TT system about 6 months ago...............the rest of the APS intercooled Twin Turbo systems have been pre sold and are being shipped all over the planet...............it's not only Americans who are so damn good at blowing money on their cars.

Thanks

Peter

 

They are being pre-sold right now, and I believe it will be shiping in the next couple of weeks.

Contact Peter at APS and he can give you more details. Also, there is another thread on this topic going in as well.

They dont use HP in Australia..They use KW..But the conversion is about 380 or so..

 

those ausies....

 

Yeah I always thought that kW is a measure of electrical power (like I have a 55kW toaster in the cupboard) ...............those dumb Aussies.

For reference the price of a 350z in Australia is about 30% more than what you pay for one in the US.

In US, its US$34,000 RRP for a Track Manual 350z
In AU, it US$47,427* RRP for a Track Manual 350z

*Calculated with current exchange rates, which arent bad so it could be a larger difference depending on rates. These prices dont include on road costs etc which would increase the AU value by around US$4300+.

 

Ouch... $47k? That hurts just thinking about it.

On a happier note good luck with the TT zzz.

 

Wow...We in the U.S. complain a lot about taxs. I guess we don't have it so bad. Didn't Peter from APS mention that the APS TT kits would be slightly more expensive in Australia because of tax. Just curious... what do u guys down under pay for a gallon of gas? I know anywhere in Europe would love to pay even these California gas prices.

At present its $1.15 approx for preium per litre (4 litres = 1 US gallon).

David

 

Is that $ 1.15 US or Australian dollars David? So will you have your APS TT 350z on Tuesday? I bet your excited!

 

Peter..

As APS guru, One of the issues we had with the Greddy TT kit was documentation... The Greddy TT documentation / installation instructions were very bad.

Example - Install each turbo to waste gates, down pipes and exhaust manifolds...

I'd really like to see - a how to - or see an installation instruction on the APS Twin Turbo...

Can you make this happen?

Cheers Amy -

 

calimarc

Sorry thats AUS$1.15 per litre or US$3.22 per US gallon.
I hope to have my car on Monday.

David

 

Will do give me 24 hours or so and I will make sure that all of the 350 Z install diagrams are on the APS web site................the written instructions will follow soon after.

Thanks

Peter
