I got beaten by a 350Z yesterday. He has air filter and exhaust.

I got eManage, stock exhaust (just changed it from APEXI sports system), APEXI super intake pod with snorkel over it for cold air and thats about it.

I think reason I got beaten is cose I need a tune badly due to the stock exhaust being on the car now.

Or are the 350z quicker then GTTs naturally??

What mods have you got?

My brother has a 350z with a hi-tech exhaust. He got 161.8rwkw.

It's zippy and can be reasonably fast if launched well. It'd probably be on par with reasonably stock performance cars (i.e wrx, gts-ts, g-tts, 200sx etc). Comes down to the driver's abilities.

In the end, all you have to do is add a bit of boost and it's over so it's not really fair to compare n/a vs turbo, lol.

There's a 350z in Melbourne with an APS twin turbo kit. It must be making close to 400rwkw.

I had a run with it in my 12.2sec WRX and it obliterated me. I am no slouch with a launch and with 195kw@4wheels, I thought I'd be abit closer or ahead at the start, but he kept on pulling further and further away.

What a monster.....

I got

eManage

stock exhaust system all the way thru (just changed it from APEXI full sports system)

APEXI super intake pod with snorkel over it for cold air

----

he had me about half a car length all the way

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
