There's more to it as well, but better address those first before anything else. |
GTM supercharger is 7,000 for the turnkey kit, which SC are you looking at buying?
I bought a non-sport z and looking to buy a SC as well. I've never heard anybody say we needed to upgrade our VLSD. |
You don't need to buy an upgraded Vlsd unless you plan on tracking your car. To the OP only wanting to spend $5550*, it's not going to happen. Even if you bought the stg.1, you still have about a 2k install price, going to need an oil cooler, clutch, & dyno tune. For the stage 1, I'd say it would be about $10,000.

Look for a used Stillen and install it yourself. Thats the only way your gonna be able to spend the money you want to spend. I would reckomend just saving even if its for another year or two and do it right. If you set a low budget like that the car is gonna be more problems then you want.

Dang If you could have bought a GT-R or 911 turbo, how did you end up with a Z? Lol

Can someone translate the above post for me???
Good choice on the SC and good luck to you. I don't have anything other than the stock traction control system and my car is amazing to drive and does not slide all over the place. That said if I did have plans to use it for tracking and not for daily driving I'd probably invest in a better traction control system and something other than stock tires. |
there is a stillen kit for 4800$ and it can go to 10psi so you might be able to hit 500
and I think it costs less to install than other kits. |

-I don't think anybody cares what you can or can't buy. But if you are hesitant to drop $10k to mod your z, than you probably couldn't afford either the GTR or the 911TT, AS A DD *You should read up on the cost of the GTR's first service.. * And save me the grandstanding about how much you sacrifice for family... Nobody has questioned that, nor would they. I have some friends who make mid or higher 6 figures/year, but drive around in 3 series bmw's, only because they want to invest for their families futures.. Not waste $ on project/toys, as you said. Food for thought: -You are boosting your DD.. that is a recipe for headaches/heartaches. -If you think that you're in the clear after the FI install, you have a surprise in store for you. -If you don't have the money for a full rebuild of your motor, you are not ready for FI. |

Ricardo, the GTM SC kit is pretty popular on the forum and should give the extra umph you are looking for. My main thing with going FI though is that problems are to be expected. A few members on the forum had very bad experience while others seem not to go through as many issues. As for me personally, I would use the money to go FI and apply it on a GTR without losing any warranty.
Cool website boss man :tup: |
Thanks Ricardo, the current Z generation wins hands down in the look department over cars that cost twice or even 3 times as much. I admit catching myself checking out the curves on the car at times :p One of the huge plus with the Z is the value to price ratio, it almost doesn't get any better than this and yes why go for a more expensive car when you can go with one that offers excellent performance at a mighty reasonable price.
Enjoy boosting your car and post up pics when done :tup: |
<off-topic>
Dude, please use spell-check or slow down. With minimal mistakes an average human can still read sentences and comprehend. That **** looks like some crap my 13yr old daughter would text to someone. :shakes head: </off-topic> OK, on-topic........If you think going F/I is a bargain, you are in for a surprise. If you go with GTM, you can purchase a turn-key it and be OK for a while. However, you must think supporting parts, maintenance, and "oh crap" funds with any F/I build. If you put my girl's income with mine, we still don't make 6 figures. I have a budget that I call "fun money" that supports my hobbies. I also have a credit card specifically for that "oh crap" moment. Hope you have fun with your Z.............:eekdance: |

Ricardo,
I have a hard time believing that your company is bringing in 250k+ if you don't know how to structure your sentences correctly. As for your website, (I'm a designer and developer) you should probably change the copyright date. Copyright ©2006 N2 Network Solutions, LLC. All rights reserved. Anyways GL w/ the boost. |
^+1
Ricardo/GrandPa, I surely hope you are well into your 70's, if you are calling me "kid"... - Reading & Writing.. It's "fundamental"... So you really should get on that..:icon17: I look forward to your "I blew my engine, now what do I do" thread... GL! |

This is off topic but these two statements are why the thread went south:
Quote:
The value of $10K to one man may differ from another. For the guy that has a family and household to maintain, spending $10K (whether he has it or not) may not be viable at that moment in time. My wife and I just had twin boys (not asking for any sympathy or anything...lol) and I'd love to boost my car. However, I now have to think about the two additional mouths I have feed in addition to diapers, clothes, medical coverage and college funds. To me, the $10K is better invested into my sons future at this point in time. Could I have purchased a more expensive car than my Z? Yep. Was it feasible at the time? Nope. It’s as simple as that. I know many members on this forum that have the means to purchase more expensive vehicles but happily purchased a 370. In addition, we all mod our cars within the means available to us. So, I don't see the merit or value of the two above statements...... Sorry for the rant........ |
:wtf2:
This whole thread is a mess:shakes head: |
Legal department? Wow...............
So I guess I am supposed to infer that I am one of the bad seeds of the forum because of the statement that I made. The more I deal with Americans, the more I fell like our society has become soft and weak (and I am American, lol). I guess being in........let's call them interesting situations has given me a different perspective on things as a whole. Ricardo2.0: Don't worry, I will stay out of your threads from now on. I did not intend on making you feel like you were being attacked. However, this is a public forum and you volunteered to post. You should have a little thicker skin if you are doing what you say you are. I never questioned your income, I just had a REALLY hard time reading what you posted. I also took the time to share my plan to give you an idea of what you are getting into. Please DON'T PM me. I would rather not be bothered. Good luck with your purchase......... |
