SkyJawa Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 cooooooool! Thats not Paul Whiffin's one though IIRC, his was the first in the UK turbocharged so that must have been imported or something?!!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 I didn't know Paul had done one. I was just thinking of what cars I'd like to have a play in, and I thought I'd like the MR2 but there's not enough power.. then saw that Not terribly expensive either really. 350Z's are starting at 12K now too. Not much potential for power increases there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 350Z is ok but not that good, mate has one! MR2 I drove at Brands, was too underpowered but very twitchy, it would let go with no warning at all Very snappy, still, saying that, reckon a turbo'd one would be mental!

tepster Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 never mind the mr2... a 350z for 12k would never part with the supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 never mind the mr2... a 350z for 12k would never part with the supe yeah I know but i'm just saying it as a sign of things to come.. fair-quality TT Supes were fetching 11k about 2yrs ago.. when they were 9yrs old. 2yr old 350Z's are starting at 12k so I reckon in a few more years they'll be peanuts edit: actually, it's a 1yr old 350z!

Steve W2 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'd take it for 12K! I know a guy who has a supercharged 350Z, or did anyway. He put it in for its service with Nissan and the guy driving it blew it up!! He's now bought second hand engine form a wrecked one, that after much deliberation, Nissan will fit for him for free. He's selling the 5K supercharger kit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motley Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Did you know there is a twin turbo 350z in existence. It has been on the rolling road but I can't remember the figures it was producing. Impressive thou. Just picked up a brand new 350z a lot of fun to drive and its filling the hole before the Supra comes back from having its bodykit fitted and respray.

carl0s Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 yeah there are a few twin-turbo kits for the 350z now, and a few SC kits too. as I understand it the turbo conversions have to be twin-turbo because it's a split manifold (two banks of three) or whatever. 'cause it's a Vee engine anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Then most of the really quick ones are RB26 powered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motley Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I believe you are right. However there is only actually 1 car in existence at the moment that is twin turbo and one conversion about to be started by Veilside Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreemason Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 APS twin turbo conversion on relatively stock internals costs circa £6 - 8k and will deliver 430 bhp converting to 370 ish at the wheels. There are a few Superchargers on the go at the moment including one very notable DIY job ....... http://350zuk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8232&hl= Can't remember what that does to the bhp. £21k sounds good for a one year old UK spec car but £12k sounds very cheap even for a Jap car ...... I am reliably informed that there might well be an APS 350 Twin Turbo with the 350's at JAE if anyone is interested in a gander ..... you never know what else you might find there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowbob Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Heard that nissan are bringing out a gtr version of the 350z soon, to commerate 35yrs or so of the z-car. Will be a ltd edition obviously, something in the region of 400bhp, twin turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreemason Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Don't say that, you'll have me looking at a trade in and I've only had the car a week The 350 is nice if anyone is interested, I appreciate this might not be the place to bes aying things like that but if my other half will ever let me drive her Supra I might be able to comment on comparisons between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a brand new model going soley by the name of GT-R, and is due in 2007............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
