dude that thing is sick!!! I was driving an evo for a while and I just remembered how it pulled like crazy!!!!

You'll have tons of fun with it. So wait, you got an awd car but you're not gonna drive it in the winter? Hopefully we'll see you out next season for a couple autox's.

 

oh no, I'm driving it in the winter. I just said you guys will see it next season, because I tend to not run into anyone from here outside of cruising on Woodward.

 

Nice car. I am sure driving that in the winter will be a blast as soon as the snow falls. Sorry to see you had to loose the Z for that. lol j/k Nice car. I hope to see you around.

 

Hey Steve, what kind of in-car mount did you use for your video camera? I'm very curious!

 

read about it here

order it here (small mount)

It's a little awkward at first to get it setup - but once you do it, it is very easy to uninstall/reinstall. I don't use my video camera for anything else so it just stays on the cruisecam mount, I attach it to the head-rest and I'm good to go.

 

Good luck with it Ian!
That will be a blast to drive in the winter and next season.

Whats already done to it?
Any plans on what your going to do?
I know your not going to leave iot like that for next season.
I'll have to see how the new Z will do against it... :-)

 

how do u guys fill about or dose anyone here has a turbonetics turbo and are there any good performance shops left in michigan (and not street leagal on woodward)lol they told me a install price higher than the dealer

Most of us are actually pretty handy. I would feel comfortable installing the turbonetics myself and I am sure so would a couple other people on this board. The only thing we wouldnt do is the tuning. The install is the easy part.

 

Yah, this thing is so much fun to drive. Haha, everyone I've taken for a ride is asking how much they can get one for. As for mods, it's got a hand full of things done already:

AMS turboback exhaust
AMS front mound
Hallman boost controller
Walbro fuel pump
Tanabe springs
SE front lip
smoked all sidemarkers
debadged, except for the one rear Mitsu logo
stock wheels painted gloss black
Defi boost gauge, with playback controller
tuned by Sean Ivey

It got tuned on a dynojet, so it reads a litte high, but it was about 335 whp, and I can't remember how much torque. It definitely pulls plenty hard. I would say somewhere in the mid 12's should be easily attainable next time I try the drag strip. As for mods coming for next season, I'm tossing around maybe some mild cams, and/or an FP Green turbo probably. We'll see how the next few months cash flow goes. I would love to see how this fares against the new Z though. I've only played with one person so far, and that was my friend with an STI with an 18G turbo. I can put 1/2 a car, maybe a whole car on him by about 80.

 

I am pretty sure we could install one.
I know Mike K was lokking to do a single before he sold it.

Ian-
Sounds like a cool car.
I am sure we will have fun next year man.
Goodluck with the car dude.

 

Awesome! This look very affordable too.

 

will you be using a normal snapshot camera or an actual camcorder? I built a very siimple camera bar for my cannon snapshot camera and it does very well.

 

I actually have a powershot, but I think I'm going to buy a camcorder so I can get some really good quality videos.

 

intstalling turbo kit will not take 1-2 days , just take it to a respectable shop on forums to do it . just trust me on this one otherwise you'll be spending more in the end .

 

thanks 4 all da info vidtory nissan is gonna do the install the tech there is good wit turbo's also im new here how ofton u guys meet up or go out to milan drag way im a loner out here most of my friends drive american

 

What kind of Z do you have anyways? (I'm assuming you have a Z...)

On a side note, it's not just about the money too. I'd say if you're going to go FI, do it right the first time and go for a known tuning shop. That said, if Nissan is warrantying your Turbo, then that would be cool too

 

What's the tech's name? Definitely have someone familiar with the VQ do the tuning.

I'd go with Forged Performance-Georgia, Function Tuned in Virginia or Genesis Racing Dev. in Chicago.

 

edit - decided to create a new thread for this.

 

Would any of you guys be interested in my Fast Intentions RTP's that were on my Z? I took them off before the guy bought my car, and now they are just sitting at my house. They were on the car for maybe 10k miles. I'm going to list them for sale in the marketplace soon, but I figured if one of you guys wanted them, I won't even bother with a for sale thread. Anyways, I don't really have a specific price in mind, but just offer me something reasonable if you want them. They are for 07-08 Z's only by the way.
