Hello, My name is Robert and this is my new (to me) 03 350z vortech supercharged.




I just bought it a month ago, it was untuned so I got that done, also missing airbags which I knew about, the car checked out good on book value and autocheck no accidents reported. After buying the car though, I found out it was supposed to be a "track" car, so its missing a few things..
- no radio antenna ) not a big deal but a pain to find the wires)
- no Horn
- No A/C ( at all, no compressor, condenser, lines etc. nothing)
- interior lights don't work. ( I have yet to find how to make these turn on... ive been researching this site for days)
- no front speakers (luckily the rear ones are there and he left a sub and an amp)
Don't get me wrong I love the car, I will fix all these things and, the car is already mine so I'm stuck with it and all its problems, I will keep searching for answers to the things I need but I would really appreciate if someone helped me out with the a/c, I've been trying to find a diagram of it, and what parts I need but haven't had any luck.

let me know what you guys think of it, and any suggestions to make it better.

Thank's in advance.

Definitely fixable issues. Good luck

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck ironing out the kinks.

 

Welcome! Should be a nice project car, and I like the supercharger.

 

Welcome!

What do you mean no radio antenna? It wasn't stubbed off in the fender?

 

looks like they shaved it

 

beat you this time fkr!

 

yeah yeah

 

Thanks for the welcome comments, yeah the antenna cable was cut off, and there was just a hole in the fender.

 

Hello and Welcome
Good luck on the project car

 

Oh wow that would never pass inspection in New York, no horny or airbags lol.

I would get these fixed first if you're wanting to drive in the road.

 

Haha, not that big of a deal where I live, i'm already driving it.

 

definitely no shave then.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to theboard! Idk if you posted pix since I'm at work, but sounds like you got a little project car. Is the engine running strong based on the tune? (did you dyno for numbers?)

I am still surprised at what ppl do to cut weight... the antenna? REALLY? or was it for Aero? hahaha, either way, good luck with your AC, I would die without AC in the Z

 

Yeah, thats my biggest issue, I love a/c, and yes I had it dyno tuned, it's running 381 whp 340wtq.

 

Not bad. I realized the other day that I'm not too far off 300 to the wheels. I NEED cat replacement pipes!!!

Hope you get your AC sorted out.

 

Welcome to the forum Robert and congratz on the purchase of what looks to be a nice project car.

 

@samsniss350z Thank you, its an interesting project so far, I fixed most of the things that were missing, the only thing that happened recently was that I broke the drive shaft and had to replace it, after replacing it, it started leaking, then I changed the seal, but its still leaking. I'm a little stuck right now..

 

Finally updating this, wow! its been over a year.. anyway.. this is what it looks like today.








I fixed/replaced the following
* clock spring
* driveshaft + leak
* Radio Antenna
* Horn (hella horns)
* Got door speakers
* new double din pioneer avh-270
* 2 12" kickers + kenwood amp
* CF rap roof
* CF rap door pillars
* 18 x 9.5 18 x 10.5 Varrstoen ES6 Black/gold w/ nitto invo 295's in the rear
* rear window visor
* replaced exhaust to true dual + test pipes
* fixed cracked bumper

** still no AC ( just need a few more parts)

I think its a good update for a little over a year.
