Default About the PopCharger

Hey BobFettm,

I was interested in obtaining your Popcharger JWT. I was wondering if there was something wrong with the intake as far as anything missing or anything needed to be replaced? Just curious as to why your getting rid of it. But I definatley am showing interest if your really wanting to get rid of it. I live kind of far probably from you but we could always arrange a meeting...just come alone...lol..jk

Derick you know you have a 3.2 final drive in your auto tranny Z and now I have an extra 3.5 and well I was wondering if you want the to buy my 3.5 for your final drive? If it holds true as the increase like the 3.9 does you should gain a fare amount of hp from this mod. Think about it and let me know?

the weather is supposed to suck the next couple of days. Looks like the z is going back in the damn garage. Lets all meet up somewhere next weekend when things clear up.

Sup guys. Long time, no post. I've been super busy at work. I got the Z out this week and had the two door dings bumped out. The guy did a super good job, no wonder they call him the 'Ding King' heh. You guys have any plans for your Z's this summer? I'm going to try to do the clutch and fuel system if I have the time/money. I'm gonna mostly focus on the eclipse and try to hit milan as much as possible. We all need to mob up to redline or something on a nice Friday! -Derek

What up bro? Was curious where you've been. If you're interested, I'm going to have a CM stage 4 clutch and lightweight flywheel to get rid of in about a month. I'm upgrading to the ATS triple disc carbon clutch and ATS carbon LSD, as well as adding a few more minor mods to the Z.

I'm pretty new here...and might be up for a meet. Any excuse to get out and drive. My Z is stock.. so I might feel a little lame, but, it'd be cool to see it's potential.

I'm in Oakland County...and have been driving the Z pretty much every day there isn't snow on the ground - which is quite often

After what Yancy has done to the car, anything could be considered minor.

I will not confirm nor deny what it may be:

Wiseco Forged Pistons 8.8:1 CR (.020 over with ceramic coating on shirts and tops)
Eagle Forged Rods
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head and Main Studs
Cometic/Cosworth Head Gaskets
Darton Sleeves
Block oil passages cleaned
Block redecked
Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
Crank balanced
Crank journals polished
New Rod and Main bearings
JWT S1 Upgraded Cams
JWT Heavy Duty Valve Springs
Heads oil passages cleaned
Heads redecked
Ported exhaust and intake runners
5 angle valve job
Valve Stem Heights set
Cold Clearance set
New Valve stem seals
New OEM Nissan Oil Pump

I am considering getting the ATS triple carbon clutch, ATS carbon LSD, Greddy Radiator Breather Tank, bigger 750cc injectors, and a Utec from Dan at Tuning Factory.

Possibly this stuff or maybe I'm thinking about getting a new antenna and new overlays for the rear lights.

Hi Everyone,

Just got my Z a few days ago. Im from Windsor but I work in downtown Detroit and spend most of the time in the metro area (friends/family). Ill have to say that the metro Detroit area is one of the best areas to drive this car with the wide open nature of the roads and freeways and higher speed limits.

Hope to be more active with the Detroit region and if there are any meets or such, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks.
