Default New Z Owner in NC

Just droppin to say hello to the local members. names Danny 04 Daytona Blue Metallic enthusiast model.

mods so far

17" 5zigen FNO1R-C wheels

Tanabe Ultra Medalion Titanium exhaust

Turbonetics Turbo Kit

But right now the z has seen better days. Blown seals on the turbonetics turbo and oil got everywhere even got into the intake tract and ruined the MAF sensor. Had a compression test done and the motor is gone to.

Im taking it all in stride though might as well make the most of it ya know.
Arias low comp pistons are going in. Now when it comes to the connection rods i've been considering the ones made by Eagle. But been wonderin how much power they can take. anybody local around have em in there car?

Also lookin to swap to a GT35 but lookin to get one that spools up better and flows more than the the turbonetics 60-1

So the z will be down for a few months but should be a beast by the time im done.

Wake tech is pretty bad. People go there for a year or two to get their basic classes then transfer. Totally understandable.

Good site. Your display name is familiar. Did you use to own an Eclipse with blue flames or something like that on it? with the full bomex kit?
