And that sounds GREAT to me!!

But I am willing to bet that the looks won't be the reason you wouldn't have my mods on your car.

 

I guess I shouldn't have said only way because I know it can be done right with springs and struts, but it is definitely the cheaper easier way. also the struts aren't my problem with your average spring/strut lowering job...

 

Balance.... I have a GT car so I drive it on roads more than track, but it has seen many tracks. During those times I've been fortunate enough to be around GTR owners, not drivers. Hell a good driver can smoke me in a stock SRT4 if they also know the track.

You all speak in absolutes, I'm not saying that a GTR, is not a better or faster car, on the track. I'm saying I've beat a few of them, even on turns with my set up, I'd rather have wider tires than stiffer suspension to help in the turns. Running 275/30/19F 305/30/19r

Have tested 305f and 345r, rears rubbed but I got the wrong size... Running 345/30, should have 345/25

I enjoy my car, that's all that needs to be said.

Google skyline drive, Virginia, then route 211....only time I've seen a sign saying warning high motorcycle accident area. I've haven't met a boosted 350z,g35,or Gtr than could run with me, Before boost.

I was running springs and oem shocks.

Google Alberto 350Z, car is amazing.
After skyline drive run
'after I saw you going sideways through those turns, I knew then you were a dumbass or a really good driver'

Last trip up I git a 62 in a 35, cops says, in the rain mind you... " I won't take you to jail because you obviously knew what you were doing, and you stayed in your lane, I watch the entire thing from up top"

$350 fine, federal ticket, no points.

Yes I was by myself, yes I love backroads, yes I speed, yes I'm opinionated, but I love this platform, I love you educated Internet kids, I love this and my350Z.com. But what I say, I've actually done, no federal Reserve inflation in my post. It might not come out like you like, but I don't post bs unless being obviously sarcastic.

Keep the hate, it makes others work harder to prove you wrong, intern bringing more options to the platform.

 

Take notes kids. This type of approach works at home, school, work, girlfriends.

Build up, tear down.

He disagreed with an opinion without sounding like a know it all or 100% bring negative.

I vote best post in this thread!

 

Fair enough
Very true a good driver is definitely the best way to go fast, but a fast car is also important its really hard to make moms minivan turn a fast lap time. If you want to go as fast as possible becoming an excellent driver, and setting up your car to be has fast as possible is the way to do it.

Truer words have never been spoken

Looks like fun
Don't we all.
Can't fault us for doing our homework and trying to find out what will work best for our cars. Anyway sorry if I came off as a d!ck in my first post, your car do what you want, and what works for you.

 

HAHAH!! this kid!!.

Why can't we all end on a positive and loving note? Why can't you read? Why can you not comprehend?

No one said that the GTR bumper is the viagra pill for speed. It is the total set up that allowed him to perform how he performed. We have just been discussing some of the benefits that was achieved with the bumper and whether it looks good or not. .... It doesn't really look good but GZilla made it look good.

Be easy... settle down a bit... It's all about G love here.

 

It looked like trash and his whole talk about drag and making him faster is absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention our stock cars in the 90-140mph or w/e range he said was great is actually terrible. This guy uses the biggest ricer math I've seen on this forum in a good while

 

It's all good man, no hard feelings from me, I'm realistic. This debate on this bumper is almost ten years old.

My car is now blue from the ISF, paint code. Three bumpers after the GTR, I'm running. Kuruma.

This debate makes me want to slap it back on!


Get some GTR rims, place WANNABE for my tags!

 

^ SMH now I understand you.

I guess I was naive and just loved how people did different things and had different styles with different ideas.

But hey... some of us are adults

 

Yeah man, there is passion in here for sure.

 

Thanks man. I remember following your build back in the day. First IP I saw drift. Actually, first G35 I saw drift (i think it was an empty parking lot and the vid was from photobucket or something). Yeah man. Those were good times. You were in the Air Force, right? I remember asking my cousin if she knew a guy with a white Infiniti cuz I was gonna try to visit her and spot your car. LOL. I think I was stationed at Ft Gordon at the time. Anywho, yeah. I don't understand how people can't have a disagreement without getting all uppity about it. Guess military folks are built differently.




OMG. I just realised that. I think I joined in 03 and that's about long people have been talking about it. Wow. I feel old now.

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

I wouldn't bring down all the awesome service members we have with comments like this. People, including me, think his gtr bumper looked like complete ***, big deal there are plenty of cars people think look like trash. The part that is special about this guy is his ricer math about how putting a different bumper on his car made his car faster, and not just not noticeably faster, but fast enough to pull on cars he couldn't before. Then he tries to mention drag coefficients while mixing and matching bumpers like it is that simple of an idea. Having an ugly car is fine, 99.999% of us will never have to even see his car in person, but spreading just bs ricer math isn't good for the community and is just plain stupid. Now tell me if you want his ricer math to be associated with our armed forces

 

The reason your supercharger didnt run high hp car is because you followed everyone esle. My complete kit has been tested, molested, played with, using 4 OEM motors before the build. I didnt blow one motor (minue OEM oil consumption motor, Infiniti wouldnt buy back, so i started to play).

I put down 557.6rwhp and 460rwhp using the Ttrim blower, solid motor mounts, bracket from blower to frame, methanol, 1000hp FMIC, true dual Fast Intension exhaust with long tube headers. 650 cc injectos, now maxed. full fuel return with two pumps, one upgraded in the tank, one inline just fwd of my battery. Custom double bearing pulleys, extra pulley, 928 motorsports 2.87, nismo thermostat, oil pan spacer, oil cooler, plenum spacer.
Stage 5, tripple Carbon clutch (drives great), Carbon fibder Drive Shaft!

Custom 19x12 370z wheels Rear, 19x10 front

Now PLEASE, tell me that my car that puts down more HP to the wheels, regardless of being 250-300lbs heavier wont DEMOLISH a Z06... im looking at the ZR1 now:
I did the above on 19psi

Dropped the 32 tooth cog to the 28
Adding the larger Fluidine 6.75 crank pulley
Car makes over 21 pis BEFORE the crank pulley, but im out of fuel again (3rd time due to hp upgrades)
Car should make 650rwhp at 26psi. Ttrim is efficient upto 30psi.

So again....EVERYONE that is a FOLLOWER said the Vortech couldnt make power. There are over 4-6 cars now in the 600RWHP club with a Vortech.

Maybe if you took the time to read more about the vortech, you could of did soomething unique too. Maybe if you took the time to read the complete thread you wouldnt come off as a clown after such a rediculous post.

its not hard to look up threads and see my build or what power my car makes. you wold of never posted as you did if you would of even read my signature.
having 10,000 post doesnt make you a smart man. You just looked dumb as the the rest of the followers.

I drive the snot out of my car. I love the car, its handling characterics (with proper suspension) is right on par with the greats...considering most GTR owner wont push their expensive rides to the max like I do on a regular. I have lost a lot of love for the car. Now, if I buy one, it will be for a daily to and from work. Until I drop an Alpha package on it. Its too expensive for what most owner use them for.

 

You highlighted the wrong part. Shoulda caught something about us not getting all uppity just because we don't agree. But, whatevs. No big. As far as ricer math, you didn't follow his build at any point, so you wouldn't know what he did. I knew he had one of the few SC worth a damn in the G/Z community (cuz really, S/C ain't worth a damn...lol). But, as Lecretia would say, it TEE EYE IS what it TEE EYE IS.
