well to nico first thing you should do it remove the lambos and put real wheels on it not the chrome 20" s*** im talking volks

[franklin93zx]

door wheels not to bad would pick have others in mind, it's your personal choice welcmo to nico

[S13k]

yes remove lambos, or just dont have any pic of the doors like that please

[aris_unlimited]

Ignore these guys. I say do what you want. It's your car so it should be pleasing to your eyes and tastes. The lambo doors and wheels don't bother me one bit. It's not like you have a giant wing, a big trojan man sticker and the soundtrack to F&F playing while you drive lol.

Oh and this is just a guess, but I can assume that all your tires are the same brand and style?

Point being......Richie where the hell do you get off telling people what to do with their Z's? You still have a minimum of 3 different tire BRANDS on your car.

hey lil gWelcome!

You got one sweet car. Doors make your car stand out.I like the color combination; white on frost on chrome, they go together.

Don't talk s*** you can't back up. You've got an autotragic (greater hp loss to wheels) with no mods. And your car is definitely heavier than mine. I have actual performance mods, a manual transmission more (stock) torque and a lighter car.

[R350Zz33]

i have 19 more hp im guessing your cai gains 100 hp right bring it

Bring it? Bring it? Are you serious? Like I am going to travel my a** all the way to NY just to embarass you. 19 more hp isn't a big deal when you are arguing stock for stock, but being on the negative side my cai adds 5 hp (being negative) and the lightweight flywheel increases my acceleration as well.

So lets do the math.My car--------------------------------------------Your carmanual (less drivetrain hp loss)------------Auto (more drivetrain hp loss)CAI, lightweight flywheel--------------------3 brands of tiresLighter weight---------------------------------Heavier287 hp 274 tq (stock)------------------------306 hp 268 tq (stock)

Couldn't seem to find stock 1/4 mile times for an auto so I won't compare those.

But one more thing to look at. On average hp loss through the drivetrain on an automatic is 23% on a manual its 17.3%. So lets do the math, remember this is on average.

306hp minus drivetrain loss equals 235.62 whp292hp minus drivetrain loss equals 241.484 whp (added 5 hp for my cai)without cai 287hp = 237.349whp

So even without any modifications whatsoever a manual VQ35DE on average will have more whp than an auto VQ35HR 350z. Also you must consider that even if they were the exact same package....auto transmissions usually weigh anywhere from 75-150lbs more.

So in summarizing car for car with the same driver.....your car will be pwned by just about any other 350z out there, leaving out the roadsters due to them being so much heavier.

you forget about one of the featurs of the hr and my gearing p.s. see my kill count in the thread find nissan see it says 2 one is a 04 350z with intake exhaust testpipes and a stage 2 clutch

[Cesardrgn]

Chrome is heavy! if you can change the wheels. but nice ride you have...

[Beancooker]

For God's sake Richie, quit being an a**.

im tired of the s***

im tired of the s***

If you're tired of all the s***, stop being an ***hole. New member jumps on here, showing a clean 350z that he has modded to his tastes, and you start giving him s*** right away.

I have only read one post from this guy, and already I prefer him to you. Because he doesn't just talk s*** and piss everyone off. Hell, I would prefer peewee herman on here giving car advice to you.

[HPz350z]

im tired of the s***

get off the forum?????

OP:i like the doors...and the chrome...flashy likea motha f*cker........but seems like it's a heavy car???

[rmezz13]

Welcome lil g...

I like your ride and love the color

For the record, i would rather see someone space shuttle wing a Z then put 3 different brand tires on one... in all honesty. If you cannot afford the car (including maintenance) then you just can't afford it = dont buy it/ sell it and get a hyundai accent.

[K03sport]

lil g

you need black wheels with a white stripe around the rim...time attack style example here

I've posted in your other thread too, but this one has a shot of the wheels. Even as a show car, a nice black wheel will make the car pop and the black wheels won't get lost in the sea of chrome.

Plus, it will help tie in the CF and leopard print too. Still keep the polished intake mani.

Welcome...

Chrome wheels don't go well with sport cars Lambo doors are cool, but not my cup of tea

Do whatever floats your boat. Enjoy!
