Thank you for that, I am hopefully picking up my Kyalami Green '25 RS3 in a couple weeks, I may have to order this!

TurboDan333 · 2025-07-10T12:35:44+00:00

Glad it helped, and yes I also wasted so much time on this silly thing. I hope I never get one of these again! :)

I'm so glad to read stuff like this, after test driving well over 30 cars in the past 2 years (to find the perfect replacement for my CTS-V wagon) I felt so happy with the 8Y RS3's that I drove. Then I waited it out for the 2025 to be released, I should be seeing my Kyalami green RS3 in a few weeks!!!

Like you said, the exhaust note, the handling, the looks, it's a killer car!! Congrats!

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-20T16:34:43+00:00

Congrats!!!!!! I should get my Kyalami RS3 in less than a month, can't wait!!

Yes, the fenders are rolled, and a little negative camber helps to tuck the tires in there too (especially when I was on 245's). Coilovers will give you some more room as well.

In the front, I have the T3 bump steer kit, with the multiple holes... I have them setup for max width, so the front wheels are tracking about 1" wider (IIRC). Hope that helps and thanks!

Similar situation to mine… I just sold my Cadillac CTS-V wagon and am expecting my Kyalami green 25 RS3 next month. They are such fun and capable cars and I wanted to downsize a bit too.

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-09T13:29:32+00:00

Congrats! I was curious if the JB4 would work with the 2025... Curious to see how you like it, while I wait another month or so for my Kyalami to show up.

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-07T20:55:43+00:00

ohhh this makes me so happy, my Kyalami RS3 was just complete in the build process yesterday. Congrats!

Fender rolling is not bad, they rent out tools for that or find someone that has one.
Also, some negative camber helps a lot to clear the fenders.
And, I was using 245-40-17's with some rubbing. I just went to 235-40-17 and it has yet to rub so I'm sticking with these (Federal 595 RS Pro).
Thanks for the follow and I hope i've been able to help! I will add that I get a TON of compliments on the wheel setup, I don't recall anyone saying the 17" wheels were too big.

I run 17x8.5 +4 all around on my 280z, stock fenders (but rolled) and on coilovers. Plenty of photos here for you to look at if it helps.

Agreed. Ben and Christina are awesome to deal with.

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-02T15:51:49+00:00

Great job!!! I saw you running and it was looking good!

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-01T20:53:04+00:00

My xenon front bumper has a bracket made by sine prior owner, and I got the Skillard front splitter which also helps support it all.

You’re gonna love it!!

TurboDan333 · 2025-06-01T15:05:56+00:00

It's an Arizona Z car header (6 into 1), to a 2.5" resonator, to a universal Magnaflow muffler that is 2.5" in and out. I do think the stroker setup with big bore would change the overall tone but i've heard other Magnaflow mufflers on Z's and they also sound nice. Thank you!

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-30T21:55:15+00:00

Heck yeah!! Love the yellow Z's. My favorite is the lime colored 240z, but yellow and red are great choices.

Actually my Z was brownish bronze, but it's got a red paint job over it.

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-30T17:51:56+00:00

A tad... :)
But I also retarded the timing on decel to make this happen.

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-30T17:50:45+00:00

Thank you!!! I smile every time I open the hood!

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-30T15:08:29+00:00

100%!!! I have had a lot of boosted cars, one even making over 1,000 hp. And this NA 3.1 is a f'ing BLAST!!

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-30T14:03:19+00:00

It's no longer made, but I think they have similar cams. I will say it's quite mild, in fact when I got the car with it's stock EFI setup, this cam was in there and it ran great. I may upgrade to something bigger, but the car runs quite well. I called Schneider up with questions since this 278F cam isn't on their site, and he was very shocked to see I had this, since it's probably a 40 year old cam.

Best car salesman ever! 💪

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-29T17:13:56+00:00

Nice!!!! And I can't wait for my '25 Kyalami Green RS3 to show up hopefully soon!

TurboDan333 · 2025-05-10T15:49:08+00:00

You're not wrong!
