Removed Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 we had to put some limit to sigs as otherwise with no limits sigs would take up most space on threads. Threads would get even longer (more pages) than they are now and would take even longer to read them all PS just noticed mine is 105 ! will have to resize too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Spill have you had any probs with your vortech supercharger, is there any thing I should be wary of if buying a second hand car with vortech supercharger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 hi all fellow z drivers. im new to this site but i have black 350z for 2 yrs now so i know wot kept me. anyways i live in glasgow and own a black vielside 350z with titanium exhaust and some engine mods. i was wondering if anyone has any reliable source of getting a supercharger for my z. tried a few places who started giving me crap about putting a procharger and undersized pulley which will give me 600 horses which i dont believe at all. sounds like a cowboy. wouldnt trust them with my z. thanks all to the forum, mate!! Nice zed you've got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spill Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Spill have you had any probs with your vortech supercharger, is there any thing I should be wary of if buying a second hand car with vortech supercharger? see http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4576&highlight= Not real problems just teething issues which I'm still trying to sort 14months on - oil leaks, fuel leaks, excessive noise due to oil temperature, belts squealing, pullies out of line etc, etc, as for the vortech it is a great bit of kit for the money, just make sure if you are buying a car with any type of FI on it get all the history, check then double check it and before pushing it take it to a trusted tuner and have it remapped for your own piece of mind, and if you can't find any history or not from a trusted source I personally wouldn't buy it, just do it yourself, example Base car - £13K - £16K Vortech - £3000 Installation £600 Extras/Contingency £500 You then know the history of the FI and you'll have piece of mind knowing you're the only one to put real stresses on the internals. I presume you're looking at Steveb's old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spill Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes, IIRC it's had 2 owners since Steve, he only put about 1000 miles on it from new LOL kitted it with the vortech then sold up, so looks like 25000 miles have no history, again IIRC a 17/18 year old bought it off steve.

Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Anything known wrong with it at all? Tell us about the history as dont want to make an idiot of myself, cheers geeza pm me if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Anything known wrong with it at all? Tell us about the history as dont want to make an idiot of myself, cheers geeza pm me if you want I think what he is saying is that the known history is from 0 to a 1000 miles. From then on in its had two owners in 25k one of which was 17/18 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What would you do Sarnie get it checked out first or leave it well alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'd definately have it checked out first, you can then make a more informed decision. I have to admit though, the 18 year old bit would worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hmm I could get this for 20k, wonder if I can get him to drop the price more cos of no service history then get RAC to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spill Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 TBH the install that steve did would be first class, only downside he never had it tuned or put it on a dyno, from the photos it looks like someone has spent some time and care taking it to the next stage, but it looks like two people have done the work one for show off and one for performance, note the silicon tube forcing the air up to the filter (not a mod you would do for looks), cusco strut bar ((bling) but expensive bling) and the gauge pods F&F IMO performace wise you wouldn't mount them there. But my biggest concern would be history, if this can be provided and can be verified then yes go for it, Oh but IMO it's not worth anymore than £20K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spill Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hmm I could get this for 20k, wonder if I can get him to drop the price more cos of no service history then get RAC to check it out Need to type quicker Looks like he's already dropped £5K off price Sorry RAC is waste of time, needs to go to someone like Abbey, TDI or WRCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 No I hasselled him a bit pretending I knew what I was talking about lol.

Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Not sure, he said he will come down to Manchester with the car on the day, but in the mean time want it checked out Nottingham or Newcastle I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Quite a few members around the North East - it may be worth a couple of PM's to see if any of them know the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
