isn't that the newest Nismo kit anyway? (it really is, btw )

pads I agree, but disks won't have been the cause of the difference, not majorly anyway (unless they were extremely lightweight etc etc)

He has a Viper now - lost the Z hence the tribute

you'll be fine mate. Unless we are talking about extremely performing fronts and oem disks (and by that I mean VERY lightweight stuff etc) even if you just get drilled or slotted fronts (say from EBC) there won't be much difference, as stated on the EBC website itself, it's more of a cosmetic thing

heat soak is still a problem, in the stillen tbh, Mike has the latest stage on his Z and can't do a couple 1/4 without suffering from heat soak... I have to admit I don't see many people going for a SC on the US boards anymore... they all go TT!

last 3 special tribute to KCobean's Z

vortech 390ish Sumo have a custom SINGLE HKS turbo jobbie ~ 500hp

more

yup, that will be the product of the GTM stroker kit discussed here

not really there's a couple of options with different types of blowers. The Vortech is centrifugal, the Stillen is a root one, for example. SC won't be as torquey as a TT kit, but will be safer (as proved in the UK ) to run on std internals. The most widely used is the Vortech, which would push ~390bhp. That's what Abbey has got experience of.

also, these are the best ones from the screensaver I mentioned before.... here's the instructions to create your own screensaver Follow these directions to install your z screensaver, made from a collection of pics in a specific folder. Setting up your windows product to run the slideshow. 1. Right click any open area on your desktop and choose "Properties". 2. Choose "Screen Saver". 3. Pick "My Picture Slideshow" and adjust the settings to point to the correct folder and adjust your time settings. Enjoy! some nice pics to add

front bumper isnt carbon either, it's only got the Varis CF intake duct , still more black on it

nice one mate!

got the weather one too! never heard of the other ones though

steve-b didn't pay any abbey tax as he put it on himself StephenG on the other hand paid the Abbey tax, just like Prescience. PS bet another £10 with your dad that you can get even more hp with the SC, make it iro 380-390bhp

mind you it's either black or black in a sunset car, really

if you get yrself an ATI, you love playing with fire (and your internals ) Check out the TDI blog of that SC failure...

that's the first time I hear the Stillen is a better kit than the Vortech tbh. Stillen has major heat soak problems, MrF has got one (latest stage fitted) and his best 1/4mile was 13secs... without considering the ugly bonnet bulge! IMO the Vortech is a better package

the search button is your friend, and moved

true, warm your engine up!

it's a 100% increase ffs! "major" difference in a home's budget imo.

I've got one that my car is in, together with many more... some guy put it together a couple years ago on my350Z.com...(my car just had the bodykit put on) will see if I can extract it from the CD I was sent

we safe then? (pre 2006)

what design you gone for? hope you haven't copied my custom design
