Even though I drive my Z year round, even across an 4000 foot pass in the mountains that routinely sees snow in winter, I'd store mine too in the winters of Chitown. Can you believe the three years I lived there before I moved to TN I daily drove my S13?

So...what's the winter Kuhan-Mobile?

Company work van ftw :D

Just had the Z dyno'd today with just a Nismo catback exhaust and made 255 whp and 230 lb torque on Mustang Dynamometer. Running a little rich right now. Will get an Uprev tune after CAI, HFCs and possibly HKS HI power exhaust. :)

Ah. The mustang dyno, aka the heartbreaker.

After realizing you have an HR with all those mods i don't even want to know what EYE would put down. :whistle:

A friend with an 08 350Z has recently gone FI with Greddy Twin Turbo Kit on stock internals. He is currently running about 6.5 lbs of boost and made 374 whp. I'll check out this TT Z tomorrow. :mike

Now GTM has come out with Supercharget Kit for 350Z HR as well.

Very tempting :woot:

You have to make any changes with the plumbing or master cylinder?

These came off 04 G35, and I believe it used oem master cylinder.

Soup,

3g's for the kit.


I also have to order new front and rear pads. I need to get the rotor hats powder coated or painted as well.

The kit won't be installed until next spring since the Z will be garaged very soon. Winter FTL!

Thanks for the compliment. I love these RS wheels. They are pretty light wheels being 19's. As far I know RS comes in gold, silver and dark gunmetal. If you want bronze, then get Advan RZ. Or get a set of used RS and powder coat them to bronze. :dblthumb:
Unless you can get used ones, these will cost you about $2500-3000 new.

And Welcome aboard! :)

Very very nice! Looks like you decided not to sell them. :dblthumb:

So, is your car "too pretty to drive" (like really drive) or are you going to join us down at the Tail of the Dragon this year? :yesnod

Thanks guys. Will eventually involve some sort of tracking when I get new front rotors.
I always wanted to take the Z down to Tail of the dragon. One of these days, I will.

And I don't have have more pics of the black Z. It's a really nice one as well. It's owned by one of the shop owners.

Sweet! You try and make it down this September. Just got a new Thai restaurant five minutes from my house, the phở is actually decent (guess I can't complain, who knew you actually get phở in Tenenssee anyway!).

Quick update. I picked up a set of Bilstein Pss10 coilovers recently.

I just had the shop installed the coilovers today along with installing SPC rear camber kit and got the rear fender rolled. (No pictures the install yet).

Here are a few recent pictures before the drop with brand new HKS hi power exhaust installed. : :bigthumb:
