hello, i sold my 01 celica gts (turbocharged) and brought a 2005 350z (base model). All i can say is that it pulls a lot harder than my celica. Hope to see some of you guys at meets and i hope i can learn more about my z from this forum. most likely i will just do intake, exhaust (recently my g/f just brought me a nismo exhaust with y-pipe as a b-day gift). later down the road i'll upgrade my wheels and buy teins coilovers.

here are pics of my celica






and here is the z (i assume you guys know what a stock z looks like so dun really need that many pics of it )

 

Are you going to rice it out like you did that Celica?

Please don't.

 

Welcome. What were your #'s with the Celica?

 

lol nah, besides i brought the celica looking like that (i always hated those types of rims)

to me i think ppl should spend at least 1500-3000 on rims for a 350z, if they can't then they shouldn't really be buying a z. i have never seen a z with crappy and cheap rims yet. i'm looking to buy either ssr or works because so many ppl have their z with volks

 

at 6 psi it was only at 215whp. stock internals so i didn't want to push it.

 

I never though 35hp really felt that much different... was the torque really low on the celica? Its a shame you dont have the HR motor...now your stuck with the DE ...as I am.

 

Welcome!

 

lol, welcome to the site then....you will see a good amount of bad taste in wheel selections on this forum.

 

oh now i need a research the difference between the hr and de motor lol. torque was really low on the celica. its doesn't start pulling until you boost kicks in which was around 3500, but even then it still didn't feel fast. i gave up on the celica after it lost against a stock s2000. thats when i realized i needed a rwd car lol

 

You'll fit in here. I also went from a Celica GTS (2000) to a Z. Welcome.

Not bad. Respectable for a 2ZZ Celica.

The Celica was rated at 180hp @ the flywheel. 215hp at the wheels is quite an improvement for a car weighing in at 2500lbs.

 

Welcome bro its PNOYGTS from newcelica! Nice pick up!

 

Wow. That is fantastic!
I am actually in the process of ridding myself of the Celi as well. I am going to be trading up soon to.

Congrats on the Z, and I hope to join the Z's soon!

Christian

 

another one off the road lol jk

 

lol what up. i might visit new york during the summer. photo shoot time lol

lol do it rwd>fwd

 

you have introduced yourself, posted pics of your celica and Z(which wee can all agree that you sir have upgraded yourself to a better car) now we wanna see pics of girlfriend.

I cant believe someone else has requested them yet

 

congrats man, have fun

 

Welcome man, definitely an upgrade but one quick thing...

Those rims aren't what makes that celica rice

 

so what makes the Celica look ricey? don't they come with those ground effects and wing from the factory? and in for pics of gf

 

really?? this guy spent $1499 and look how they came out

 

Actually no the body kit isnt stock and the light blue fog lights arent either. Also the wing definitely not stock that I'm aware of unless there was some trim that I didnt know about. Also those little fins or whatever you want to call them on the right and left front bummer... i.e. rice

No offence. Honestly I even think the celica looks kind of rice even stock...
