as per another thread i've been thinking about investing relatively large sum of money back into my Z this is my little list -turbo(thinking the gt28rs kit from UAS) -swith to MT -300degree fuel rail -740cc injectors -new guages inc EBC -fuel pump -bigger FMIC -hard pipes -new BOV (not sure of best application yet) -radiator -oil cooler -tein super streets with edfc -whitline sway bars -ross crank pulley -tomei cam gears -1 piece drive shaft -ECU (new one or socket and tune not sure) -3" exhaust -engine bay dress up (polish or paint plenum etc.) -full beet wide bodykit with that really exotic looking rear (and diffuser) -convert to slick top -new side mirror -intrument panel white face aluminum gauge rings 300kph speedo -2k spec tail light -xenon headlight conversion (or new set) -clear indicators (or different style) that my little list for now though im sure i've forgotten a few things
How much are you planning to spend? Sounds like a comprehensive list. Might want to think if the RS is really what you want if your not doing further work to the engine.
The UAS GT28RS kit still needs a lot of work to fit... So I've heard (5K1TZX is currently in the process of installing). Larger fuel pump won't be necessary as stock ones can supply up to 800hp. I find EDFC a waste of money, if you need to adjust them manually... it doesn't take much That list looks a lot better than a R34 :zlove:
I'd chuck that ridiculous body kit and buy some forged pistons and some machining time myself. Those are hefty turbos and very hefty injectors. Toss the cam gears too. Convert to slicktop 'ey Can you weld? Or you could man up and chuck in a V8
you could build a monster with the right choices for 25-30k. Do it once, do it right and you'll have an awesome car
then i've just got to get insurance. i'd consider an engine swap but im not sure if that the way i want to take it. my idea was always making a Z that kept to the same principle but turn them up to 11, speed style and feel. i think putting in a different engine makes it a different creature altogether. although im still waiting to see that V12 swap
TT autos have slightly inferior heads so consider changing to aftermarket cams and some headwork to go with the bolt ons. else you could just try and get your hands on a set of MT heads
all things to consider i'll make sure i think long and hard on this, i'll probably have to get a small loan but it all depends on the sale of my house thats right im selling a house to improve my Z
Wtf? Shenanigans! My mate just ran a 9.3 in his Z31 and it cost him half that. Factory 5spd and rear end too! Granted alot (read all) of the work was done by himself, but that's beside the point. Solution? Bin those piss ant twin turbos, that's the problem! lol They're choking to death after the 60ft, especailly tiny little T28s!
Best thing is to buy a kit so you know it all goes together. You want springs too. Last time i organised something for a forum member it was around 3k for cams, springs, and retainers. Would be more now thanks to big slide against the yen...
Great but note i was talking about z32. $30k in a z32 will get you high 300rwkw's in a reliable, solid motor. Nowhere near 9s. Only a handful of z32s running 10s and all with ALOT more than $30k spent.
That's for fancy gear, JWT stuff is much cheaper. Well not anymore, but the AUD might go up again one day Valve springs are valve springs, there are plenty of good suppliers here for those. Give them your cam specs and you won't have any hassles. I think you need to work out very specifically what you want to do, you could spend $30k on the engine without much trouble if you don't do the work yourself and want the best.
Crazy! It has to be the small twin turbos holding it back, no? Even the JDM VG30DET's are easy to break 10s with, ok not "easy" but nowhere near 30k+ down the tubes hard. I'm sure all those quick Z32's in the states dont have no off the shelf turbo kit? What's the bet some of them have T3's squeezed down there and other custom goodies going on.
