Default Nismo #1281 reporting in :)

SlamHamer - Bethlehem, PA #1281

I bought her back in October of 2012 after my Z32 crapped the bed and have loved it ever since! I love AND hate the fact that it has the Nogaro Red but I love driving this thing! I'm not really looking into upgrades of anykind as i am still in a prolonged honeymoon phase. I came over here from NICO as the 350z section was DEAD!!!! So hopefullly the people here are just as cool please igonore the bird dropping on the hood that hit on the highway on my way home after i bought it lol





As soon as i looked at it when i got home i saw a HUGE white line going across the hood and thought someone's old lady keyed it.... it was the clear protective covering lol

Try check out NST pulleys, as for duals....I did it cause the single just bothers me looks wise, but the sound and pure awesomeness from a single is HAWT.

Ill have to look into those.... my tax returns are still due in I am however a FIRM believer that a dual shall never be converted to single. My buddy did that and he got pulled over NUMEROUS times for noise violations lol. I just don't like the big honkin collector/muffler under the rear end of the car.

I could tell yours wasn't resonated, but i just feel like the single has a (for lack of a better word) choked sound to it and just makes me feel... ehhhh lol. Plus i like the look of a dual exhaust. Though i do agree the single sounds like sex

BTW how much of a sound difference did the HFC's make??

netted me 298 rwhp with stillen gen 2 intakes and osiris. Weather temp was 72 degrees with 30% humidity

Currently have ARTS, Injen gen 3 intakes, DW 600cc's, full fuel return system, and magnaflow resonator but I netted only 288 rwhp. My tuner believes the 600cc's were too much and I need to go back to stock injectors. Weather temp was 80 degrees and about 30-40% humidity

Well I had to use my tax returns for other un-forseen expenses and to top it off I got layed off so now I am enrolled in school. But thanks to the GIbill and part time job I wont have to ditch her. However the parts are on hold indefinately So i guess i am just going to have to settle for enjoying the car as is for a little while.... shucks *sarcasm* lol

And I LOVE the car. I was a little skeptical at first seeing as how my last Z was a twin turbo 300ZX(dead ) but i LOVE the new found lower RPM tourque of a NA engine. She also handles like a dream to boot too!! So im gonna hold onto her for a LONG time
