Not a bad list Sean, quite a lot of money for bugger all gain as with any VQ35, and that is why i sold my 350Z was gonna cost too much ....the $ vs HP gain. Full Exhaust, Intake and Flash tune will do wonders for your fuel economy on that engine, and give it a good extra 20-30kw. Need some JDM in ya face deep dish rims would set that car off nicely. I've got a nice set for ya but your will need wide bodykit ;) .

180SX Project is going full steam ahead now, I want the car ready for 2014 WTAC Open Class and Drift it as well. Working out a list of parts I need to be competitive and not do it half arsed.

So far:

-Hypertune Plenum

-Hypertune 3" Throttle Body

-Hypertune Fuel Rail

-Powered By Max full Suspension Catalogue under it.

-Wilwood 6pot Brake 355mm Front

-Wilwood 4pot 330mm Rear

-Tilton Adjustable Pedal Box

-Wilwood Bias Valve

-Wilwood Dual Hand Brake Caliper

-Vipec V44

-Mazworx Dry Sump Kit (Maybe)

-Massive Aero Kit Custom Made.

-Fuel System out of R32 Drag Car

-Bride Zeta III Seat

-Cam Spec roll cage

-New Engine when this one shits its self

-Custom Titanium Exhaust 3" Side pipe

-Custom Titanium Screamer pipe aimed out the bonnet :woot:

-Massive 305mm Semi Slick tyres Rear.

Gonna be mental can't wait

What's your budget for aero look like?

The Dry Carbon Wing i'm looking at getting is over $2K that's just wing no stays gotta make my own and Carbon front splitter is $1K. Rear Diffuser and shit like that i can make myself. I got awesome idea's for bonnet, front bar and skirts.

You'd be suprised, there is a few more engine mods i can do to gain more killerwasps like a plenum spacer & better intake.

I'm still on my greens for another 12 months so i can't go crazy, but i think i will sell the car around then or at least throw a Vortech on it i'm really not sure.

I've got the same wheels i was going to sell, i put them on the car and liked them again.

Lol how do you go from hating to liking again crazy. I had a HKS turbo kit for my Zed that was gonna go on, ended up in the too hard basket. Supercharger would be good for a street/everyday car, low down grunt and plenty of torque and 0 lag.

Haha i know it's weird but when i got them out of the box i was like ehhhh not sure i like them.. then i put them on the car and lowered it and i liked them again.

Yeah i have heard impressive gains from Superchargers on these motors with not much work needed to the internals and what-not.

The only turbo/supercharged cars i've ever driven are F6/GT/GT-P's when i worked for Ford but never a built turbod car like a supra or skyline. I can't wait to get on my opens.

Why not Ikeya or cusco etc gear over the PoweredByMax stuff? not the greatest gear you can get, especially when your list has some of the 'bigger' name brands on the go

I had the Full Ikeya Formula Catalog on my R33 GTR don't get me wrong they are good but they just ain't worth the money i'm not forking out 5k + again for suspension arms, my mate down the road makes his own suspension arms and components on his off road buggy i could get him to make me some custom chromoly ones and copy the ikeya arms on the R32 Drag Car but couldn't be bothered i'm gonna give the PBM arms a go have heard plenty of good feedback about them. The car is gonna weight as much as a shopping trolley so i don't have to go overboard with heavy arse gear, the brake package i'm planning on putting on the car is better than the Scorch Racing S15 and that beast has 800rwhp and that thing is insane. I just read the latest Super Street Mag has a article on it... very nice piece of kit i'm gonna draw my inspiration off it.

Haha i have a couple of flat brim hats in the cardboard, the car will be dual purpose Rob just a matter of swapping tires and geometry, just wanna build something crazy and over the top, all my ideas i've wanted to do over the years put into one car.

Big f**k off GT Wing check! Low as f**k check! Massive deep dish wheels check! Sidepipe Titanium Exhaust check! V-mount intercooler/radiator check! Fully stripped out no dash and one seat check! Front splitter and Canards that would decapitate someone Fark yeah check!

Drive it like i stole it and hang the hell on, if it doesn't scare the shit out of me every time i drive it, white knuckling the bastard the whole lap and my arsehole chewing on that Bride seat then i'm afraid i have failed this project lol.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
