Can't wait to have PSS on this thing, though.

I'm waiting to go through mine so I can upgrade to PSS

EDIT: can't believe it's 3 year old tires that are still in decent shape :ugh2: must drive harder.

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 11:00 AM

PSS... mmm. I'll probably end up swapping mine this summer even though I should wear these down. :facepalm:

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 11:01 AM

Need to order my Invidia too. :facepalm:

Car(s), y u so expensive?

I still contend that the 5.0 is the faster car all around, but I had my fun with that car so no point in getting a S197 again. Z34 on the other hand... my 2009 was nothing short of a disappointment, so I wanted to come back and "do it right" since it seemed like Nissan fixed everything they needed to fix to make it a good DD.

Short answer on the Z35 is... I like the Z34 enough not to wait around for ~2 years until the Z35 launch (and who knows what it will turn out like.) I was NOT going to daily drive my S2000 any longer than I had to!

Plus, who knows, if I waited for the Z35 to come out I probably would have just bought the C7.

In the end this is what works, and I'm happy with it.

5.0 V8 @ 415+hp 400lbs+ tq and weighs 3500lbs vs
3.7 v6 @ 332 overrated hp (326) and 270lbtq @ 3320lbs.

I'm sure the mustang is the faster car.

Faster doesn't always mean better.:stirthepot:

:tiphat:

That said. The stang is a much improved car since 2011. It's only getting better. I think both camaro and mustang for the next gen are slightly more exciting redesign cars than the Z. So many rumors flying around there that it's just nuts. Z35 rumors are hum drum and the Z may or may not be a better car in the future??? Unlike the Z, We're seeing proof in the muscle car refreshes that the next gen muscle will be hard to beat on all levels. power, handling and quality. But as it stands right now. The slower Z imho is the better car.:tup:

The first 5000 miles. RE50's are fine. It's after the 5000 mile tread wear they turn to shyt.

I'm seriously contemplating HKS hi power. :shakes head: Dont know about spending 2k on an exhaust but it sounds like sex.:leghump:

KaienZ34 05-01-2013 11:15 AM

Even if the Z isn't "better" it sure is damn sexier...

I'll just leave the car comparison stuff alone (not the intent of this thread). On the tires, however, after 0 miles, 5k miles, 10k miles, whatever, the RE050As are absolute junk relative to PSS. I'm just willing to deal with them until I feel like dropping $1800 or more on PSS + mount and balance.

On the HKS... it is a really nice sound. A long time ago we had someone at our Z meet with the HKS Hi-Power... VERY sexy sound!

I'll agree with that. It's a sexy car with some really feminine lines.

SS_Firehawk 05-01-2013 11:55 AM

I know you are looking at picking up Invidia as a quiet exhaust. Though it's nearly 2x the price for the whole thing, I <3 my Tanabe.

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 11:57 AM

We have a member locally with Tanabe... sounds great.

Any drone, at all? If it drones *anywhere* I don't want.

Mine has long tubes and a HFC attached to the Y pipe. So yes, mine does in the 2300-2600 rpm range. I can't tell you it doesn't because I haven't heard it without long tubes. I really don't see it droning though. Pipes are 2.5" and the Y pipe merge collector is 2.75", has 18" resonators and Advantex packing in the cans.

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 12:07 PM

10-4. If Bill comes out to another meet soon I'll have to check his out. I do know I really like the Invidia, though, and can confirm no drone. And $750 shipped is hard to beat.

Dzel 05-01-2013 01:13 PM

Have you checked out my review for the Beluga exhaust? There's vids and cool stuff!:tup:

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 01:19 PM

Beluga?

Dzel 05-01-2013 01:22 PM

Yeah it's as new company coming out of Texas!

m4a1mustang 05-01-2013 01:34 PM

Really, though, I'm planning on ordering the Invidia. I will probably wait until June, though, as I've spent enough money in the last month. :bowrofl:

So you'll be the quiet one at Zdayz. However, everyone will still hear you because of the RE050A tires :roflpuke2:

In changing the oil last night I realized I needed some hood struts. So I ordered the Z1 kit today.

m4a1mustang 05-02-2013 12:28 PM

Just little things here and there. I will likely get exhaust for it sometime this summer and that will be it as far as mods go.
