Hey Z1. ETA on those headers?

Power is left untapped, unfortunately, you have to upgrade every bolt on to really feel the gains. Car sure does love boost though.

I heard a couple of guys say that nitrous is the way to go. Cause it is only there when you need it and don't have constant heat being pushed into the car. God you don't know how many times I have thought about getting TT. But honestly 10,000? I could drop a LS1 w/super charger and still have 2 grand in my pocket. Better center wait and parts from then on out cost a dime a dozen. I hope just for the fun of it Nissan drops a V8 in these cars one day.

While I am a mod freak(and also I have no labor costs I do all my own work so I have parts only investments) and while I like speed, the older I get the less I "care" if my car is faster than car X or has 5 billion HP... I am sure a large portion of the Z community, myself included did not buy the Z and saved for a year or 3 could acquire a GTR(not new in all cases) that will crush all but some boosted Z's, but I do need a gear box, an sure there are other options, hell even an evo can get crazy hp with low cost but I like the styling of this car, the way it feels(for the most part, still don't think the handling is as good as it should be with my setup- for another day) and I have bench marked against the current market car and have achieved my goal against the 5.0 mustang, so at the end of the day, I enjoy this car, and am happy with the performance as a whole, but as I close this super duper long run-on, I will be boosted next summer, and it will cost a stupid amount of money, but to me, it is worth it.

No señor. Get new tires. One has a puncture. LOL
I have another set of wheels and tires sitting in my garage though. When I get less lazy or when I have a day off I might swap them

Haven't you been needing new tires for a while? Do you have another car you are DD'ing? Where do you do your dyno pulls, BTW?

Define cheap? No doubt it would be $50 shipped. I'd do $150 shipped. But could not ship till Friday afternoon. I do not have the OEM heat shields. I want out of my storage.

I am surprised such a popular thread didn't yield more reviews and dynos. What happened to all the people who were all psyched up and got these?

Lol, no idea, someone asked that a few pages back.

Oh, and I am borrowing a set of rear wheels, so if he doesn't mind me dyno-ing on them, I might dyno soon
(After I receive donations, lol)
