Hey guys I just wanted to say whats up. Its been a while since Ive been on NICO. some of you might know me as SGT.Coene2 others might not have seen me around. I just bought an 03 daytona blue base. tis sweet. aside from the tic-tac-toe board keyed into the hood by some toolbag its basicly stock I will post pics as soon as i figure out how to use the image button again lol. some plans are seibon TS hood, motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer and AAM Competition 3 in. True Dual Exhaust. thats it until ive got the money for the SFR twins I really want. for wheels Id kill for some factory track modle wheels. Im glad to be part of the Z heritage guys.

Welcome! Can't wait for pics of that tic-tac-toe...

I think we'd all kill for some track model rims

[SDB]

Soldier, are you in Maryland by chance? I know another Z that has a tic-tac-toe board keyed into it. Was likely done either in downtown bmore, arundal mills mall or UMBC.

[soldierZ33]

No im from NY, I got my Z from GA and other then being there its whole life it was set from the factory to a dealer in TX. im the second owner. Ill get pics up asap i promise

Welcome back

[soldierZ33]

Welcome back

Thanks! The Z is great, by far the most potential of any car ive owned yet.

[audtatious]

And can do 9.3's in the quarter with enough money

[soldierZ33]

yea i saw that, thats pretty sweet haha. and thats still a street car! ive got alot of plans for this car F/I, minor cosmetic's, fully built engine since the one in the car now has a few too meny miles on it. other supporting mods. ill do a few write ups if they havnt all been done already. got a local porsche club wanting to see the Z in action on some twistys...we shall see

[audtatious]

The VQ35 can easily do over 200k miles with no sweat

[soldierZ33]

yea but should I trust a the vq35 with 100K+ miles with F/I?

[BusyBadger]

Welcome back! And from a Sapper to Ranger, thanks for your service.

I wouldn't, but then I wouldn't trust a new car with F/I without some prep work on the motor.

Rangers lead the way! I want to build a stage 1 short block from importpartspro.com and other supporting mods for F/I. boost is in my blood so the N/A VQ35 is a bit on the boost shy side of the tracks from where im comming from. but i will be crossing over to the dark side shortly haha.

Welcome, I'm kind of a newbie here also. I had FI on a 4 cylinder. I went the Turbonetics "safe" kit. ended up popping #4 and made a huge mess. My new
builder claims that the safe way will wear out the rings and usually the cylinder
walls. When we re-did the engine, instead of just replacing the stock block, we went with a built sleeved block tested to 35 psi boost. Than crank, rods mains, new pistons,
etc. I learned the hard way that half is def not good enough. The engine also had
118k on it. I'd say you are planning on going the right direction, but with
the VQ35 it takes deeper pockets.
