Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: Boosted Performance
$7150 for the turbo kit
Figure 2-3 grand for flywheel,clutch, csc, cmc
figure another grand for electronics (boost control, gauges)
if you dont have an exhaust figure another 2 grand for that

not installing yourself? figure another 2-4k depending on where you live and who your having install it.

then throw in another 5-600 for a tune.

Figure $13,500 self installed $15,500-$17,500 with labor

this doesnt include shipping cost on any of this... add another 500 for shipping of the turbo kit

I keep an excel file of my mods, cost, install mile, etc.
I try not to look at that total cost line very often. :shakes head:

Are you kidding me, keeping that stuff is like playing with matches and gasoline. If my wife finds out how much I've spent on my car she'd probably faint, then hire a hit man! :eek: She saw my receipt for the TT kit and was like it cost $10K and I just play it cool and said yep, that's what they cost, but it's less than a GTR! She shook her head and walk away LOL!

My wife has seen the list I think once, but did not care.
Her view is, if we have extra spending money I can do what I want, as long as she can do something in return.

Rodger that! My wife got diamonds for Christmas and her birthday. I'm good for now lol.

Mine started a business and I've been floating her living expenses and business loans for the last 3 years! Otherwise, I'd have boost already!! lol

It may be a cliche but it's true...a happy wife equals a happy life!

Meulen 07-24-2014 10:25 AM

Hey Jim!! did you take a look at the EVO-R rear diffuser before getting the fujimara? Just curious why you went with that one?

I looked at both, from what I read on forum fit and finish with the evo r was hit and miss. Some had no problems more had problems. Not one person that I could find complained about the Fuji fitment. Worth the price for a superior product. The Fuji fits perfect and has one of the best weaves in the cf that I've seen.
I have Fuji side skirts coming now to go with it ;)

im hearing things all over the board... doc said 6 weeks in cast, then rehab. said it would be like 6 months before its back to normal. im hoping for some good physio therapy and be able to shave time off that. but it will be 6 weeks before i can even think about driving again

That sucks man!

that would be nice but it not be on the clutch leg might have you behind the wheel of the Z sooner. I couldn't imagine driving my clutch off a fresh injury like that

GaleForce 07-29-2014 09:03 PM

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

ZMan8 07-29-2014 09:40 PM
