Useless Rabble takes too long Rabble I want my parts yesterday Rabble we don't need no stinking R&D Rabble

Just out of curiosity and to kinda update the thread a bit Bullitt, can you give a quick rundown of everything (Performance/Engine/Drivetrain) -wise that been done/or in the process of for your Z. Just curious of what the grand list is. Perhaps that might allow people to see exactly just how intensive this process is and what all you and Sam are working on to bring this beast to life...

Just use the shrink ray.

It's almost a one off car know. That kicksAZZ !!!!

KaienZ34 · 02-22-2011, 10:32 PM

Well mike's got some great sponsors so i can't really say what he paid. For the kit minus the wing your looking at $4200 before ship then for prep/fit/install most likely 2k+ give or take. But for you my good man i'll give you a pic of the kit for free.

bullitt5897 · 02-22-2011, 11:08 PM

the Zele kit is flawless!!! perfect OEM fitment. I would say less than $2k installed. There is no need for it to be $2k or more. $2k is on the high side.

Ok, cool. Thats about where I thought it would be... But that's bought/painted/installed right? Not bought/installed? Or just installed? Cause the kit itself is $$$ isn't it...??

KaienZ34 · 02-22-2011, 11:11 PM

I'd say the Zele AZZ and the side skirts are the best looking out there. IMO

bullitt5897 · 02-22-2011, 11:48 PM

Sub $2k install/paint

kit should be around $4200

NewYorkJon34 · 02-23-2011, 11:13 AM

So how much of a pain is it to install the new/gt-r manifold?

Installation will take a couple hours, and it will be the same procedure as a stock lower intake replacement .
