Supercharged Z or Track the 240

[Mlogue84]

I recently just bought a 350z and had this brainy idea to supercharge it and throw some suspension on it. I'd have to sell my SR'd S13 to do this though.... What do you think?

[luisgonz]

These polls are getting out of control. Sorry man But most people dont really care.:-/ But if you want o'S in this.........Sell your cars and move to a smaller community and buy a house before the prices of them start going up. :naughty: If you Red ball be please post your name Name.LOL

[azndoc]

I keep my 350z stock and dump the money into the 240 for drifting.

Can't have two cars that I gotta worry about.

Thats what I voted. I keep wanting to modify my daily, but am trying to put off the temptation! Gotta keep one of them running.

[EDacIouSX]

if you want to modify your daily just do the pimp status stuff. like dvd navigation or some crap. nice baller wheels, aero... maybe an inake, crap like that. Can't go wrong with suspension either, just don't go super low if you get coilovers.

[LB.Motoring]

If this isnt an obvious answer you obviously havent been into cars for a long time or made large mistakes,

rule one is alllways have a reliable daily before you built a track car,

your track car isnt your daily,

I mean you could do it, but it will be such a headache in the end.


I have learned the hard way,

1 daily, turned into a beast, 3 project cars,


and now Im buying a BMW to daily, and a shitty cheap corolla shell and building it to track.

[Mlogue84]

I've decided to track the 240. I kinda knew all along that tracking the 240 was probably the smartest choice, but hey... It's fun to think about that kind of stuff. One day I will I'll make the Z really sweet. It's clean and fun now but I was infatuated by the dream. I've got a Fujita Intake and a Power Enterprise Exhaust, and some aero... This is my Z:

Thanks to Everyone who helped!

pretty

[GSXRJJordan]

Yeah, I like the Z too... building your 240 is the smarter thing to do.

Plus u get to be like Jack, that's always cool :)

[Full-Lock]

haha keep your s13 so you can buy my frontmount lol

ill go lower on that price for you haha

[irax]

id say throw your Z motor into the 240 and make that a daily driver because it will get awesome gas mileage. Sell the sr and buy a VH45DE from the older Q45's and put that into your z... and then turbo charge it...

[s13gold]

keep the z stock. daily driving.

track the shit out of the 240

and end up never driving any,

then selling them all.

Supercharger is better for resale, as it unbolts right out of the car. Stillen requires the ugly hump hoods for clearance. Street legal though. If you ever decide to track your Z permanently, superchargers are useless against the weapon of choice, JWT T.T. setup tuned for 700 HP. But it is a good investment that you can move out of the car with no problem. Go to my350z.com for more info. And since you are in S.D. , i can direct you to Relentless Autosports to install and tune your supercharger. They only run the fastest 350z in the country right now. And their mechanic is ex JWT mech, and holds a Nissan master mech license. The do both superchargers and turbo installs every day.
Check out the flagship Z that placed 2nd behind the JIC S15 when it broke the Button Willow track record last April. http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=155255

[Mlogue84]

Kognition, that is some good info. I am definitely going to TT my Z and permanently track it once I pick up another sweet daily driver. I'm in love with that Z from the link, I definitely need to change my pants. Thanks for your advice.

[kognition]

It is still a heavy car, but much potential on the track. We are replacing the roof
soon with a carbon one to lose about 40 lb's overhead.

What's that going to cost?

[kognition]

Not avaialble to the public at large i am afraid. Not at this time anyway. It is a race team only mod.

Not yet installed, but will go up on our website in about 4 weeks when we get the car back to California. I just picked up the latest Modified and we have a few good shots of the car in the Super Lap Battle article. Our drivers qualified the car for the Super Lap Finals coming up in November. Very exciting because we head directly from there to Laguna Seca Redline finals. The car was eating Modena's and 911 Turbos for lunch that weekend. No Joke. :bigok:

i saw that modified mag earlier tonight sitting here at the hospital being bored out of my fucking mind.

[Mlogue84]

Kognition: Thats BA

LTD: why were you at the hospital?

[sportcars14a]

That car is wack, black wheels are ugg as a mother. Silver FTW you should get them in silver, in fact, get some SICK wheels in silver.

BTW, primer the 240, throw it on some stock blacks and mob it with gutted interior ftw!

[kognition]

You do realize that you sound like a complete idiot right now right? :down:

[kognition]

I don't have a 240, i have a Silvia. :doh:
So you think i should run my Hoosiers on the stock wheels ? :Ownedd:

You just dissed my Silvia, which btw is so gutted that it doesn't even have a stock dash in it anymore. And you also dissed the fastest time attack 350z in the States right now. Just letting you know. :Ownedd:

[sportcars14a]

[coreansurfer]

I have been in the game since day one, all of you newbs need to back up and just seriously check yourself. Callin me cracka aint no thing, ive always been taught to dust that dirt off my shoulders, but also I want to let all of you know who your talkin to you, I have a gutted track 240 of my own, I have been on the grind since day one, and I havent stopped and I wont stop until I am drifting next to Tuychya on the banks of Japan, I am not kidding yo, all of you haters can say what you want but you have no idea who your talkin to, it may not look like much now, but I got some stuff done, and you can see me on the mountain if your lucky, catch me never though!

Beast for the Street! This is how playas play!

1. auto

2. big bird yellow ricer wing

6. speaking even slightly condescendingly about kognition mike, who is one of the most badass fabricators/silvia pilots in ca.( ive seen his workshop, its AMAZING)

you fail.


and to the op, id track the s13, its nice to have a new car that you can daily since it has all the creature comforts and safety features that the s13 doesnt, ac+comfy seats+safety=win.

[sportcars14a]

Fastest in Street class at Redline events yea?

[kognition]

Hmmmm, yes it is run in the street class at Redline events however we have to run the street tires for the street class. And the Hoosiers in unlimited. I would say that the car is more prevailent in unlimited class. As it took 2nd place behind the Magic/JIC S15 at ButtonWillow in April. That race was when the S15 broke the track record that Tarzan Yamada has held. So that kind of made our team a bit more serious about the unlimited class. 08' Redline rules will not allow running the same car in different classes. I personally think that a street car should run the street class. Twin Turbo Z's belong in Modified and Unlimited class.

Yea, well Redline is a young series, I am sure they will make the classes alot tighter as it gets bigger to keep things competitive.

[kognition]

If you pick up the latest Modified or Super Street, they covered last month's Super Lap Battle at ButtonWillow. Where our Z took 1st place in RWD Modified, AND RWD Unlimited. :angel:
