For california z owners, wouldn't doing this engine change for a Z be a viable carb approved option to getting turbos?

OptionZero · 10-30-2018, 03:35 PM

If they sell this engine as a package, with wiring solution, SMOG certification and a factory warranty that bolts up to the stock tranny . . . hoooo boy thats a hell of a package

I would do that over a TT kit since i could drive freely on the street and have relative peace of mind, even if the HP/$ is lower than TT kit

Fast Intention's kit is about $10K for 500hp

I dunno if they can come at that pricing level . . . but i think even if it's more, it would be extremely appealing given the factors above

To be honest with you, for what my build is costing, I could have paid for a brand new NISMO TT car with cash if they offered it. I am too far down the rabbit hole now.

I'm glad I decided to focus on just paying off and aesthetic mods for my Z before committing to anything performance wise. Looks like my gamble might pay off if they offer something like this in the 10-15k range I'm game.

After what was released at SEMA. Think I want a Hellaphant motor.

OptionZero · 10-30-2018, 04:10 PM

Looks like i was wrong about the wheels - those are Nismo LMGT4's (Omori Edition)

Curious if those are the standard 18 inch sizes or if they grew a set and made some 19/20's?

18"

Those aren't LMs... they look to be a version of the Rays Gram Lights 57CR, including the insignia on the bottom of the spoke by the lip.

The wheels on the car look like 57CRs but the wheels on the display area are LMGT4's Omori Edition (limited release, probably all gone by now)

Both come in the standard sizes that Rays offers

18x9.5 +22 or +12
18x10.5 +22 or +12

Pretty weak spec for this, given that even the regular nismo comes in 19x10.2 +23 rear.

They should license the Advan GT, which is made by Rays, slap a Nismo sticker on them and use the 19 or 20 inch sizing

cv129 · 10-30-2018, 09:17 PM

I really don’t understand Nismo’s thinking on the wheels and the suspension arms. The parts are just rebranded items that now carry a premium for having the word “Nismo”....

Lol I remember seeing a FB post from MA with the new Nismo arms installed, I was wondering who’s the sucker that bought those. Now I know it’s for this build, thank god.

Spooler · 10-30-2018, 09:29 PM

I beat they will be 18's. Looks like they will be hard to get and sizes will be limited which sucks. 18x10.5 or 18x11's for a square setup would be great. Doubt we get anything in a 19. I would like some 19x10's and 19x11.5's like I have on my car now. I need a set of track wheels.

Z1 said they are 18x10.5 square on the show car

I would need to look at their Instagram post again. I knew they were 18x??? 18's just look like crap on a Z. 19x10.5's would be much better. I have no idea why Ray's is very stingy with their wheel sizes. You gotta buy a big batch to get them made. Crazy.

Crap, I have been looking around and these will probably be the only ones you can run in an 18x10.5 square without spacers. I may have to nut up and get a set.

AlWakRa · 10-31-2018, 03:36 AM

Full Spec in attachment, got it from MA instagram

They are 18x10.5 the one on the CS23, but no mention to offset. I made some research and found good options to be nearly in good spec for extreme square setup, I can post them in wheel fitment thread or open a thread for square setups discussions.
