2003 350z Roadster - Aps Tt


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
