Default Signal Auto Z33 at Tsukuba

Blast from the Past! @ Tsukuba
Rev Speed Super Battle 2005 featuring Signal Auto


Hello all, I recently updated the SSR homepage with a Blast from the Past article dedicated to 350Z owners. A lot of new enthusiasts are going with 350Z's as their car of choice, and those of you who are new to the game may have not seen this car before.

P.S. the full gallery is located Here and includes additional pictures not shown in the post as well as a link to the high resolution (1500x1000) zip set.

Thanks for the link! Brings back great memories...

I remember back when the car was here in torrance and they did the actual SR swap in it and back when it had the SBC SSR SP1s. I had a chance to see this car in person.

It's tough for me to decide which wheel i liked better on that car.

This car is my inspiration. I still have the super street magazine in 06' when it was featured with the SP1's in SBC. My favorite car of all time!

Pound for pound, i am sure the aluminum SR is lighter than the VQ. The compact nature of the SR means you can set the engine back further. For a short, technical track like tsukuba: I am sure this will greatly help

With it being a 2.2L, and making close to 500 horsepower, we figure it should have more than enough power for time attack.

Parts for the SR (Since it was originally a turbocharged engine), are a bit cheaper than fully building a VQ engine.

Just a few things to think about.

I believe that was the car hyped over for pulling over 1g on a set of BFG street tires back in the day, which is still a feat today.

Pound for pound, i am sure that the VQ is aluminum too and they only have around a 10lb difference in weight.
