I hired one last year in the US for a few days and put it though it's paces and was very impressed with it , the brakes weren't up to it , at night what great headlights. You should have a look at the stillen web site as they do a lot off after market parts , i liked the supercharger one on top off the motor, i got a lot off photos last year at their show day which was mainly 350's. . ross
350Z Hi all, thanks for the comments!! I?m loving the 350, all the remarks are spot on I just love owning a new looking, feeling and driving car Ross not sure if they have changed the brakes since you drove one in the US or if that model did not have the Brembos as they feel great and pull up really quickly for me. On the supercharger, the moment I purchased the supercharger was on my mind as twin turbo is to common want something rare. Although I love the fuel economy I?m getting compared to the old 300 and MR2 like 500-700km per tank including city driving and the car is fairly grunty!! Any idea what kind of power a supercharger could make this put out? I would want one that you can activate and deactivate at a flick of a switch if possible just I read an article on them a long time ago that said this was available for some bolt on commodore option. Thanks, Dwayne :zlove: :zlove: Another pic, although our housemate ruined a nice photo...
There is a reason the TT route is more popular, why reinvent the wheel? http://www.airpowersystems.com/350z/350z.htm There will be one of these in my garage sometime in the future, that is unless I talk myself into the 930.
check out the stillen web site . He has a complete write up on the supercharged 350. They sell a complete kit
that can be fixed i got bored so here you go mate ....not the best someone could do but its mine so it will have to do lol
Stillen vs Vortec vs APS Thats real nice ED thanks heaps!! All, i'm after some input now if anyone has done research or knows someone who has. My main factor to an upgrade is reliability and ok economy. (when taking it easy) You have the APS twin turbo system, very nice power although the drama of working on turbos under the car its always hard convincing a mechanic it is easy. Stillen stage 1, 2 and 3 supercharger kits ?? Vortec supercharger kit ??? I know nothing of these but they look good. The stillen you need to purchase a new bonnet or mod the current one and the Vortec bolts on the side of the engine. Looks like the stillen gives more power and is allot louder. Any info at all would be great? Also prices will be the next thing how do they all compare price and power ??? Ross, your in trouble mate my fianc'e is going to bash me ahahhahahah Well i better get some sleep i guess, stop searching for these things!! Thanks all, project in the works!! Cheers, Dwayne :zlove: :zlove:
Nice buy! The only thing I dont like about the 350s is there is less room in cab than a 300, other than that, the things are sweet, I'd have one in a flash.
Welcome back Dwayne! Beautiful looking beast you have there. Those mags are very sex. you should be proud. As you say, once you're in this community it's hard to find others nearly as informative and helpful. .... So, Don't stray again! :zlove:
Na mate i think u got it wrong. By the looks she should be draped over the bonnet Looks like she'd make a very nice addition to the photo
Stillen vs Vortec vs APS One other with the Stillen Superchargers, Vortex Supercharger and APS Twin Turbo systems, I could be moving up north sometime this year so needs to be able to handle the heat (allot of heat) Darwin is the destination Any idea whats the best in extreme temps superchargers or Turbos?? Thanks...
MR2's then Just re read ur MR2 GT vs 300ZX TT maybe its catching... but thats a move thats tempted me I almost got one before I got the 180sx would you belive. A beutiful Black 1, in WA.... 10K... but was sold by the time i rang up What made you sell the MR2? How much did yours cost? PM me deats on the MR2 if you want to keep the thread clean Dont konw if id do it coz of having kids.. being able to share the Zed with the wife and kids is AWSOME and means I can use it more often too..... but its a thinker.......
MR2's Hey mate, I have always loved the look of the MR2 and it felt allot like a 180 in terms of being allot more nimble then a 300 but handles better then a 180 in my opinion just had great balance. Mine i sold for just over 10k, the girl i purchased off had spent around 10k on the engine and turbo but the paint job needed cleaning up. It was in the best running condition all had only done around 10-15k. I sold as needed something fully reliable no question and newer with everything working like A/C.
yeah the 180's handle well if the suspension is modded... mine wasn't lol hence, Im actually finding the 300 is easier to predict when she slides out I know you thought the suspension was stock in the zed i got of you, but i actually have my doubts. Its actualy lower and more ridged than other zeds ive ridden dunno... nice suprise though
