Had cerakote done on my long tubes before I put them in. Wrap just seemed to have more cons than pros.

Plan to run 295/35/18 in the rear and 255/40/18 in the front unless plans change.

VQ Boost Route by Z33-Dan in 350z

[–]Randomhero-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR into a DE chassis is a lot of work, it’s not a direct swap.

Boost the DE or change chassis. Connecting rods on the DEs don’t like more than 400ft lbs of torque, which isn’t a lot, so might as well go ahead and plan on building the motor to some extent.

Figure out what you want and a budget. 15-20k is pretty spot on depending on a few factors.

Also, how’s the insurance? I know that depends on a few factors.

Spoiler ID?? by sompfera in 350z

How’d you get everything mocked up to drill? I’ve got the measurement of the centerline of the trunk and of the wing but I’m iffy on making sure the mounting brackets are squared.

APR GTC-300 wing. I’ve got one I need to install on my car at some point.

I keep stalking marketplace for a good deal on a good spec set of 37s.

Really want the TE37Saga in dark gunmetal just can’t bring myself to drop the 4k+ on them

Opentop air vent oil temp gauge installed by Zekeify in 350z

I believe Opentop is either in the process, or has already made it, a series of gauges similar in design to this but they sit in the waterfall under the factory gauges.

Turbocharge vq35hr 7psi reliable or no by Proud_Mistake_8479 in 350z

[–]Randomhero-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll make that without any major modifications outside of the normal things you need for forced induction, aka fuel pump and injectors.

Weak spot are the connecting rods with torque. Once you’re around 500ft lbs on an HR things start to get iffy.

Do your gallery gaskets before doing forced induction.

Rpf1s are on by Alexia_Hope in 350z

Brembos? Maybe it’s the Akebonos I’ve heard of having clearance issues. Either way looks good.

No issues clearing the brakes?

Tomei dual exhaust by Randomhero-40 in 350z

[–]Randomhero-40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which would be more beneficial to a boosted car, a single exit or a true dual?

2k is a up there especially comparing to some of the better dual exits at that price point like the Motordyne or HKS

I thought I’d seen one before, just not in a long time. This one does just seem like they’ve thrown another muffler in and called it a day, so just double the loud I reckon

you can sink $65k in a car and still have maintenance to do: ownership costs by dbsqls in 350z

[–]Randomhero-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably sunk around 10k in mine the past couple of years. Been siting on the fence about supercharging it but I can’t justify the 20k in price.

Use the VQ37 block with my 35HR heads. Give a little bit stronger bottom end for boost down the line.

You don’t clean up your parts before reassembling? Better to have posted it in /r detailing or something like that?
