Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo Part 2 2008

- Is it difficult to find tuning parts ande tune up this car? (In Hungary)
-Few things can happen: You can spend way too much money ont he car, so your girlfriend will be jealuos and angry and you may have to argue with the family too. Not much different to tune a Japanese sport car than an EU kind of car like BMW. Or may be a little bit easier, because this car was/is a cult car int he USA. The very first Z was made in 1969 for the US market. So the Americans very much like this cars and they have few professional companies who specialzed on OEM and performance parts for this cars, for example the Concept Z Performance, the Z1 Motorsport and the AMZ Performance. We just recognized , that the tuning parts from this companies is most of the time, more than half of the price cheaper with the tax and shipping, than from the Hungarian official dealers the OEM parts.
I have got CP forged pistons what accepts around 1200 hp, it is used int he GT races. This CP Pistons are 1000USD cheaper from CZP , than from a Hungarian Nissan dealer the OEM pistons, what just enough for 500hp. To tune up a car like this is a lot of fun, but if one of my friend would like to do this, I would warn them that they will may spend the price of the car again on the tuning. The point of the car for me is that You can get almost the same performance from this tuned car like
what You can have from a Lamborghini or Ferrari or Dodge Viper, but for much more less price. Of course I spent this money on my Z in few years, not at once. All around the world it called project car, so I have an absolutely normal car for everyday use and this Z is a kind of love. It sounds strange but if we think of, that in USA this car called Fairlady Z than it is not so strange anymore. But I think in Europe it would be not so easy to sell a car like this with the name of Fairlady Z, so in the EU market they called Nissan 300ZX twin turbo.
- If You mentioned the EU compatible headlights let is check the front bumpers. It is not OEM of course.
- I ordered this trough Germany. Some German tuner shops bught or copied the Veilside bumper
from Japan and they adjusted it for the EU road standards and rules. So let say this is a Veilside body kit waht was adjusted fror Eu. Of course one of the main point was to not cover the big front intercooler, to have a well cooled air in it. I like this bumper the most, because it follows the line/shape of the car’s body.
- Please show for us what You mean.
- Just starts from here from the top and comes down to the bumper and this was what the Veilside thought it is nice to make it longer. The OEM bumper is much more shorter, it has a feeling that it was drasticly cutted. Of course the have got a reason for that stoc bumper , but this I like better. The side spoilers are Veilside too, theys are not so low, but again it follows perfectly the line of the
door. I think this Japanese tuning company spent enough time to design this.
And if we mentioning Japan, than I would like to introduce the wheels, what was ordered directly from Japan. This are very light weight rims. Rays/Volk Racing alu rims, wht is one of the best ont he market now. 17inch wheels ont he front the tyres are 245 on he rear are 275 Falken, to try to put the parformance of the car ont he road. If the car accelerate pretty fast, than it is good if it is stops very quickly too. This is why it deserved the Brembo slotted and drilled discs.
If we are here at the back of the car just check this Veilside rear bumper. This is not so agressive, but I did not wannt to bild a show car whit a huge wings and eyecatching stickers and soo on, this is why I choosed this deep (almost brown) kind of purple color, what is very elegant.
The Exhaust sistem is made by Japspeed, so it is a complete cat back not some home made crap, it is stainles steel from teh front to the end. The rear wing is a stock wing. This helps to make dofferent for first sight the two diffrerent kind of Z the NA and the Twin Turbo (TT). The TT has this wing, the NA usualy not.
If we jump int he car, we just will have a feeling of a space ship. The only one arm kind of equipment in here is the turn signal arm. All the other has panel, so if You really cornering hardly with this car You will not hit with Your hand any other arm like screenwasher, or etc. In this part of the car only the steering wheel is costm, this is a Momo race wheel. Just a little bit smaller than
ther OEM, but feels better to tuch and handle this one. The boost, the turbo pressure is a really good thing! This makes the driver happy, brings smile on our face. The boost we can adjust and change with this Greddy Profec B spec turbo boost controler. My turbos can build up up to 2 bars of pressure, but of course we do not have to use allways this much so for an everyday drive or traffic I just use 1 bar and it is easy to change with this equipment. So this car on 1 bar produce around
400whp and on 2 bar around 530-550whp. This gauges are here to check the turbo pressure, the air fuel ratio and the voltage. I will buy two more gauge for the oil pressure and the water temperature. The gear changer is short and very precise, it is nice if You want to change quickly. I hope You like
this car and You are now inspired to drive around with Yours.
