Hello,

This car is now up sale to fund an overseas trip. Its an APS TT kit done by Auto-tech Engineering who are the only authorised people to install this by APS in NSW. The kit has not been modified in any way since that day, and the car is generally stock apart from the tanabe protec-5's which give you the option of stock softness or track stiffness, at the push of a button. This has no special requirements other then running on 98 octane. People in the US run these engines upto 10psi on stock internals.

I think the best thing about this car is it gets zero attention fron the cops. ive had rbt's, speeding fines (be warned) and never had even one check my tyres.

Ive just given her a very special detail, 100k service (replacing all the fluids) and its sitting in the garage waiting for a new owner (have another daily driver). its got just over 100k on the clock with most of the K's being hiway between Sydney, Canberra and Newcastle. The car is currently located in Canberra, but is registered in NSW and i can organise viewings in either state. No tyre kickers please!

hi mate free bump for it being one sexy ass roadster! but quick question how much did you pay for the twin turbo kit? im asking cause my dads interested in getting one for his 350! thanks mate

The kit used to be distributed soley through APS authorised retailers (3 places australia wide) for a set price which included the exhaust and installation (to make it fully adr complient) for $15k. APS no longer produce 350z kits (although they do fully support them) so if you would like to turbo your 350 these days, you must import a kit from the US. Installation of any kit will generally require the engine to be dropped. Im usually a DIY'r, but i was not prepared to wrench this kit. You can do it in the bay, but u end up needing all these custom tools and spend so much time that its easier to drop the engine anyway.

So basically if you are interested in a turbo 350, you will save yourself a whole lotta cash and wrenching time pick up this car - which i personally beleive is a bargin. Ive been in some 300kw GTRs, 200sx's, and civics, and would you beleive that the 3.5 V6 (with the lightened flywheel) is a whole lot more responsive and IMO, faster then all. This car makes boost from 1000RPM but will go sideways at 100KM. My background is in turbo Hondas which are laggy, but rev like lawmowers. Im not saying this car is the fastest thing on the roads, my old honda used to have more topend on the hiway. But as far as daily driving goes, i have not been beaten in the 50k ive put on this kit. Simply put, its the most usable 300kw ive ever experienced aside from force fed 8's. Oh and overall my fuel economy improved with the kits installation, go figure.

Thanks for the bump. Im a car enthusiest and this conversion was a dream of mine. I purhcased the 350z specifically to install this kit on. When you drive around in a convertible, people automatically think you are a tool who in it for the 'status' and has no clue about cars. Drivers still look at me funny cause this car is so stealth, but a quick flash to 4grand and their smurk turns to curisity and bewilderment. Groups of laughing kids in there show pony rex's shut there mouths when we pull up to the next set of lights after i flutter past there windows. My reasoning for the convertible was that i dont listen to the radio, so i might as well have the best way possible of listening to the engine...

If anyone has more questions, im happy to answer. I am not someone with a chequebook who doesnt understand whats going on.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
