Wow... wow... wow...

I've got a lead on a Z32 TT but it would put my SC install on temporary hold... oh the decisions!

Great car man, very nice.

Thanks guys Definitely really excited

Not sure what you are talking about cwiz. if you are saying one looks darker in the pic, that is just b/c of the lighting/angle. they both look exactly the same.

450whp on 93 octane, with torque about the same (on a nice safe tune) I'm not trying to break any records.
I think i should make that power around 18psi, But I'm not sure exactly yet. My base boost (boost controller off) is set at 15psi, then on 93 i can go all the way up to 20psi safely with this motor before needing race gas.

Thanks man. you will spend more on the z32 TT to get it where you want it than the GTM SC kit will cost. Can't really tell you what to go for, but i'm happy with my decision. Is your 370z your DD?

Thanks isamu, my friend is going to give me a CF powertrix cable cover. If it doesn't look right i'll just go that route, get it painted black and red and call it a day

Isamu

he can do it whatever color you want, and even lazer etch a jeffblue TT on the plate LOL

Ok, maybe its just because of the lighting, but the one on the left seems like it's an aftermarket one similar to our lights... whereas the one on the right looks like a stock lens. Any other angles to counteract the lighting on this? Forgive me if I'm wrong, just looked odd...

These are old pictures, but the headlights were never replaced. and they definitely match.

The 370 is my DD for about the next year... Unless I go with the 300 but I am thinking I may wait it out a bit longer.

Those photos are WIN!

One more thing... Your avatar is hilarious

Thanks man. Well if money isn't an issue, mod the 370z and by a daily driver, or daily drive the 370z and buy a 300zx and mod it. you def want to have a semi unmodified car to DD, otherwise you'll eventually get sick of the modded one and want to sell it, which seems to be what happens a lot. You get bored of the power b/c you drive it every day, and you get sick of the impracticality because you drive it every day.

i definitely would have noticed if the headlights didn't match

tjlazer

man I feel so bad, I hardly drive my Z32TT since I got my Z34. So last week I drive the Z32 the whole week like 10 days straight! LOL

Wow, nice to see you making great progress! My dad finally got rid of an intermittent injector issue. He tapped it a few times and it started working, and the engine has been running smooth for a week!

Are you going to make use of the front license plate mounting location? Since it's not required here, my dad went ahead and had the body shop eliminate it. See what you think:

haha thats awesome, how was that?

Thanks funny that you mention that. I 100% plan on shaving that front lisence plate bracket. I live in NY so i will probaly get one of those retractable plates (since we need to run a front plate) . I can't rationalize having a fresh bumper that needs to be painted and NOT shaving that thing off. It just looks so weird. Just trying to make sure that the retractible lisence plate (those show n go things, i think some people on here have them) will fit.

That car looks gorgeous. Is that black or some custom color? What kind of work does he have done to it? I really appreciate the close up pics, they are actually kind of hard to find.

Hopefully those pictures will give you a good idea of the bracket removal. The car is a '90 purchased used about 10 years ago, and the clear coat was milky in some spots. He had a friend repaint the entire car, but he did not use enough metallic flakes. For the bumper, he had a more reputable shop perform the work, and the paint had a bit more metal flakes so it shows up lighter compared to rest of the body panels. As for engine work, the engine was replaced twice sourced from Nippon Motor. It only has a JWT ECU program, boost jets, and single pop charger.

Not quite perfect to our standards, but that's his baby... if it was my car, it would end up looking like yours, but with more LED work lol
