Been on here for a few months and met some cool people and Z's at some local GTG's. Anyway, have some friends that work/worked for HKS, Stillen, Sparco, Phase 2, Dynamic Autosports, Mackin.....So I started to get more into the "scene". I had the chance to buy the HKS 350Z a few months back. After driving it as well as getting an awesome deal, I'm more than happy with my decision. This was their R&D car for the GT Supercharger as well as the Hipermax III coil overs. So I lucked out with it being set up already with a lot of HKS products as well as me doing my own mods. Also has a Kansai Service front bumper which turns out to be the only one in the US, as well as a dry carbon motor cover which is equally rare. So I finally got around to taking some pictures.

Heres the rundown on my 2004 silverstone track model.....

that is one sick Z. what a pick up : )

 

Nice car man!

How does she drive?

 

INSANE car man nice pickup!!! Do you have any more engine bay shots?

 

What are the chances we could get the hks cover in the hands of m1, kcg or shine... ????

 

Nice Z!

 

Drives almost stock until you jump on it. It's pretty quiet compared to a Vortech or Stillen. CARB legal but with some test pipes and a different pulley, then you are talking a completely different feel!

Yeah...I'll upload some in the next couple of days.

Good luck...it's so uniquie that it would be too obvious of a replica I guess.

Thanks!

 

Your cupholder still works, enjoy it while it lasts!!

 

Very nice find. Nothing wrong with buyind an FI car you know is done right. Awesome Z

 

Only 321whp? must be running really low boost.

 

how much??

 

Fully functional......

yeah....all R&D, CARB certification, and tuning done by HKS. Thanks Mike and Katsu!

LOL! Only? From a base of 236WHP utilizing 7lbs, I'd say it's pretty good. The kit was designed to be CARB legal and efficient. It really is nothing like any of the other S/C's. It won't win any big WHP debates in this form but that is fine. Sure I can change the pulley, race pipes, headers....whatever. It's perfect for a daily driver and I can still take it to the track and beat on it. You should read up on it at HKSUSA.com

 

A very good deal.

 

Nice car man. I'm presuming it was their show car. Is the mileage still nice and low?

 

i want that engine cover its sweet ..... great buy hope you enjoy it

 

Sickk Z man!

 

Naw...it was just an R&D car. Some journalists got to drive it and wrote some columns on it but it wasn't a show car. Mileage is up to 20,XXX now so it's still rather low IMO.

 

Omg I just creamed myself

 

Sweet car!

 

thanks....I think.
