New(b) Z owner
Been creeping on this site for a few months now, figured now that I have gone and bought a Z I should at least register.
It's certainly a project, but one I look forward to dealing with.

I bought it with the Twin already in it as well as the intake and exhaust. Certainly a risk, but the person I had look it over told me that "it's not junk for sure", so I went and pulled the trigger on it.
Already put new Nitto's on it and going to get the rims redone with a powder coat of black. The red ring just isn't doing it for me.
I'll post pictures later this month, but this is either a $16K gift or a $16K mistake. I'm hoping for the former.

Engine itself only has 25K miles on it. But I'm not going to risk anything. Currently running 10 PSI; that may change after a tuning in 2 weeks.
Red rims are ****ing out. Probably going with a powder black or a chrome, have not decided yet. I do like the black on black look thought, so thats the one im rooting for so far.
And yea, those burnt orange seats are sick. :P

Put it on the Dyno today.
This GreddyKit puts out a surprising 446 whp.
Looks like I will need new fuel injectors as the fuel mix gets a little too lean at the end.
'Rah.

UpRev installed. New Dyno numbers.
And to answer the question about "flywheel", James told me that it is indeed a wheel hp number, it's just jacked up because the machine is from NZ.
