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

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
