Props for a gangsta ass car.

you hit me up a while back on 88hybrid...your z looks real nice, is that bodykit adapted from an s13 one? you prob get hated on from z purists, but i like your car, it actually looks like it performs, and your drifting pics give hope to all those who would've loved to own a 240, but were unable to find one for sale. my only ? that rear bumper....i'd definitely prefer you to follow during a tsuiso run cuz that thing is gnarly, and not in a good way...but who am I to talk? i've got a 3rd gen camaro iroc z rear bumper i'm planning on putting on my z31t, so, ?

[Racinjitter]

You already know what I think about your car. Still,

[whitepony22]

Def not something you see everyday or ever really. I like the originality of it man. What motor are you using? Didn't see that anywhere.

[Benedict]

still stock vg and t3 just cleaned up the engine bay. Intercooler is mounted but haven't made pipes or turned up the boost yet.

Do you know what an FC is?

[Megamarcx84]

Gothpanda, this is probably the opposite of what you would be told on any reputable forum, but seriously dude.......
You really should watch a lot more of Initial D...

I just wanna know what it is, I've been looking for a more drifty z31 look. The rest look too narrow

[Gothpanda]

fixed my other post.

[Megamarcx84]

spotted you in jacksonville on Saturday, i'm pretty sure you were on 24 at the rim shop in between tire country and and buffalo tire. i gotta admit i wasn't a big fan of the color change, but i now understand it on a different level. i mean despite the wide-ass rims and the body kit, i might not have caught sight of the car, but that pink....i couldn't have missed that if i tried..if my z was running i'd have stopped for a closer look, but i was putt-putting around in my crazy neighbor's focus, so my pride wouldn't let me....lol

[84zed31]

your Z is SEX. not feeling the new paint job, but hey everyone has their own taste. The FC bodykit however, how much custom work did it take to get the kit on there? I have a Z31 also but only have the Kaminari kit, this is something new haha.

I finally put the videos on YouTube

YouTube - atypical weekend

This video was recorded, edited, and uploaded using my iPhone 4.

eggs-benny, your shit is hot :P

[Benedict]

Thanks to this nice young lady..


I have some new shiny things.


CX Racing FD RX-7 radiator with fans and universal intercooler. It's more eBay stuff and cheap ($400 shipped for everything here) but the weld quality looks good. Plus, my friend has been using one of their radiators in his S14 for several years with no problems.

Also waiting to go in the car..
JWT ECU
SAFC
420cc injectors
Cobra MAF
OEM turbo manifold with external WG flange
TSS SS exhaust manifold hardware kit
t3/t4 .57 trim .63 a/r
Greddy BOV

Still need..
IC pipes, couplers, and t-bolt clamps
External WG
boost controller (I have a cheap MBC but may upgrade)
Time..

This setup made 391hp/433tq on my buddy's Z for a while until he got boost greedy and cracked a ringland. Turning the boost down so I stay in the 350-375hp range should make this uber reliable. It should be a pretty fun upgrade from my stock 205 crank hp.


By no means am I a tech or gadget person, but with the iPhone 4 it really is too easy to embarrass your friends all up in the interweb.

Deployments and work have us three going our separate ways but the last year of weeknight wrenching etc has been a lot of fun.

[DeleriousZ]

Rolling the JWT/SAFC combo eh? No love for Nistune?

[Benedict]

Nistune sounds like the better choice. But with Matt selling everything together it was a great deal.
