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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
