Another chap I know has an APS single turbo on his Z, has 20" rims, deep dish at the rear, coilovers etc... That's it, but it's so hot in it's simplicity, farks off too!

Will try find pics, I'm sure he's actually a forum member here...

yeah? I do like what he did to the front, it looks different but I does look very clean

RGMotorsport was the first in S.A to do the Vortech kit. So reliable was the conversion that Nissan S.A agreed to offer the S/C 350Z as a new car option. In other words you could walk into a Nissan Dealership and buy a S/C 350Z off the floor - backed by a warranty.

In terms of pricing things are pricier here than what they are your side. We do have agents and distributors but the lack of locally manufactured parts means that 95% of the items are imported, bumping the price up considerably.

RGM charges R85 000 for the conversion which is strictly bolt on, that translates to $8 500 at the current abortion of an exchange rate. (from R7/$ to R10/$ in less than a week...). It leaves you with 250kW (335hp).

Yeah, the black one and the green one. The installs were done by the same company, Auto Sound Engineering. The owners of the cars are sorta mates, but I don't think they wanted matching systems though, they just had the same list of requirements for the system it seems. Pity.
