Well I haven't got very far with this as I'm still not sure I want to spend money on it (I do) when it's looking like I could afford something a fair bit pricier if I show some restraing for a few months... however I do keep cleaning it!

Not bodybuilding but I am a competitive powerlifter in the 110kg weight class. I realise this slows my Z down...

I shall have a ponder. If I traded it in for another car I'd expect to lose 3k in part ex. If I sink 10k in it and then sell it on, i'll be 6k down.... so the real difference is around 3k lost by the time I move on to another car. That's not SO bad, but my maths are probably a bit off.

Someones got to make them though!

What made you go with a turbo set up? I'm open to new ideas here, I just see the complete vortech kit is probably the most readily available and easiest way of doing things. The fact that I paid only 3500 quid for the kit (2nd hand from abbey motorsports) And the fact that I always planned to go forged internals and big power. S/C dropped in and left at 400 ish hp and you'll be fine. Sort of plug and play. My engine went boom..But turbo kits add more stress to internals. I now have a fully uprated bottom end. Great now I'm weighing up built engines and turbo kits..... double the price though!

I'd love to do it myself but I'm working so much i just don't have the time at the moment, I've been through this before with an engine swap I did myself in my old celica gt-four. Knowing what my schedule is like at the moment, I'd rather just drop it off somewhere and pick it up a week later than do half an hour on it here and there for a few months! I'll definitely be keeping it if I go down this route, just have to be certain it will be enough performance for the money. I really do love the car, I wasn't hoping for anything different, just FASTER.

If anyone was selling a black coupe I'd be all over that but I'm getting impatient

The next step for me car wise comes with a 30 grand price tag, so considering I'd hope to be all in with the 350z around 15-20k, it's still some way off...

Oh this is definitely budgeted for as well, but the situation is it'll either be EVERYTHING or I'll not be spending another penny on it and saving for something else.

Is that so? What would be the main barrier to that happening? I'm sure there's a few on here?

I've been deliberating over handing my stock 350z in to TDi-North, a large sum of cash and hopefully driving away with something in the above power range. I do have the disposable cash sitting around waiting to be spent but still trying to weigh up whether or not this is for me, having never even sat in a car with more power than my stock Z before I really have no idea what to expect. So, to those who have already done this, would you mind giving me a review of your experience and help push me over the edge? Cheers!

NO!!! They're staying exactly as they are, the girlfriend suggested black but she is wrong. "But they won't really look any different than your current wheels" Yes they will shut up.
