Thank you! :nice:

:lol: You'd think so! It does pull very hard after 5K, mainly got that extra grunt up top when i changed exhausts + plenum spacer to allow the more air at high revs. unfortunately im missing a good 2K from a good vtec :( lol... But i love the pull on top revs with cars especially after owning the EK so reckon the vortech will be fun as its all top end revs supercharger.

Dont get me wrong though this has some superb grunt from low revs coming from a honda anyway lol

The 350z is a proper man's sports car. I just sold my 9' and I still haven't decided what I should be saving for. It'd be nice to have a big grunty engine and creature comforts like the 350z has. Still loving it?

Absolutely loving it. Takes a little while to get used to such a change in every way but it has so much to offer once you have. Even with a full exhaust system it is still quiet when you are driving around normally with light throttle, a little stiff but very comfortable. Effortless power when you want it and a real cruiser until you really want to have a play. Completely un-bias opinion as i like criticizing all cars lol.

All friends i have taken out have said they never really looked at these cars and have really opened their eyes.

One thing, FUEL! Is terrible. I average on around 18MPG town. sometimes as low as 13MPG when having fun. Motorway 22MPG. Ok i do have a heavy foot but IMO the car isnt for economy and a bit of throttle is very fun in this car due to the torque it has encourages you.

looks good dan and i see your selling the starlet aswel?
 
such a mean noise from that engine.... gotta say I LOVE IT !!!

exterior video of you pulling away would be nice :p

haha i hope so! But Im aiming for still a drivable car which i believe the vortech will allow. I hope anyway lol! It has big enough tires anyway lol!

Now you've said that i'll get one up soon! :naughty:
 
Still can't make my mind up on these cars. I'd always worry if i sold my 9 for something like this it would be too modern for my liking. I'm sort of used to feeling every bump in the road and all the rattling of a Honda aha... I suppose the power makes up for that though :)
Supercharged tho...will be insane. Also the wheels look spot on. :nice:

All the best with it
 
a proper drivers car. ACE!
would love to take this for one lap at the ring. GT5 is the only method for me at this point. Get a video of this car on the ring please! lol ...I so love this car.

Yeah i worried for a long time as ive always ad raw older cars but believe me this is raw lol.. With the mods ive done to it and even on OE suspension it is pretty stiff and the power is aggressive. Its not a comfortable cruiser it is a drivers car. Its a sports coupe not a soft saloon.. You'd have to drive one, and properly around some B roads and see what you think really.

Thanks for the comments buddy

Ow i would love to take it around the ring! There is one on youtube with bolt on mods/usual chassis mods running 8.11 lap with some errors! :drive: Thanks mate, kind comment :)

@Topher-EK4
I have actually seen that yes and looks wild!! haha... Thats the exact set up i'll be running 8PSI too...
 
nice car mate, not too keen on the interior but apart from that look minted. bet it pulls like ****
 
looking good! new wheels suit it perfect and the v6 sounds great, remember when I was looking at them, thought the nismo exhaust sounded good.
 
Cheers dude..!

Oh yeah the sound is just porn when you open it up haha. Yeha the nismo was very nice i agree but after long research and sound testing the magnaflow from america was the one for me both on price/sound together. Nismo was more expensive.
 
The car looks absaloutly mint mate! :drool:

I actually like the interior, I think it's a good look as it probably feels like your stepping from "pedestrian" to "astronaut" :lol:

Keep the car clean and drive safe :nice: those Z's sure like to swing out :drive:
