That is a sweeeeeeet Z. Very much like the clean Amuse bodykit. Supercharger is a nice idea too... that car's N/A torque band has always impressed me, so I'm not sure I would like a turbocharged one.

Boy are those VQ35 intake manifolds ever ugly as sin though! I guess they do their work well, and looks don't matter nearly as much.

Now why the hell would someone sell a car that nicely built with only 19k miles on it. It's like they just did it in order to spend money or something

i like the powerhouse amuse kit as well. very elegant and not overdone. i was thinking about a TT Z, but they seem much less reliable.

the stock plenum is pretty ugly. i still have my old plenum spacer so i might add that on the car for some extra HP. car should be putting down around 375whp. im gonna install the smaller SC pulley and add utec. hopefully all of that will add up to around 430whp. maybe i should just keep it alone... do i really need to be able to go ludicrous speed? VROOM!!!

Sweet.

Utec is worth it. The difference between tuned and not is amazing. SGP tuned mine and it is amazing.

enjoy

i just ordered some red lug nuts so i can throw on my volk time attacks and a new harness to install my avic d3. once i have all these parts in, there will be new pics and vids! car looks beautiful as is, but the volks will really set it off.

i'm going to make an appointment for later this month or early april to have the car tuned at MRC motor sports in Jersey. before then, i'll be installing my plenum spacer, swap test pipes for HFC's, and install the smaller S/C pulley. car should be a beast after that!

Excuse me gentlemen while I fellate myself.

I like the look.

On a side note. I am considering selling my Z. Have you seen what GTM has done with the new G37 engine in stock form?

haha, you must be very flexible!

i had the option to buy the car with the volk progressive rims but they really arent my style. i think those rims look better on something like a Lexus LS or Infiniti q45/m45

I like the look.

GTM is using the FCON but I imagine an alternative will come along shortly if the engines are really strong enough to handle this much power.

The black rims make the car look tougher. Nice choice.
The silver ones are too bright. They look a little narrower too. The black ones fill the wheel well better.
Red line tires also give it a unique character. Again, nice choice.
