Finished my new front end setup(OEM Bumper, DS Replica Lip, DS Replica Grille) on Friday just in time for the meet. Had a real TS Front Bumper on before, but needed to accomodate the JWT twin IC's and Stillen Oil Cooler.

Couple pics of my car from the meet:




Would like some of your opinions on wether or not to add a TS Carbon Fiber Hood? I know I need the vents to reduce engine temps. If I get the TS, should I paint it black?

Thanks.

 

lookin good!!! as for the hood i say go for it!!! keep it CF first and if u dont like it u can alyways paint it. CF goes well with black. How does your car run? Your setup looks sick!!!

 

couldn't you run the 350z IC with the top secret bumper?

 

Looks sick man, definitely get the TS hood! You were the one with the crazy vortech setup before correct?? How do you like the JWT TT in comparison. Are you still running a built engine?? If I am completely wrong disregaurd the last parts!!

 

Yes, that's me. The JWT BB700 Kit is insane compared to the Vortech setup I had before. The Vortech never really ran perfect so compared to the JWT Kit, it night and day. My engine is built, but not sleeved, so I'm building another sleeved shortblock right now just in case something happens. My cars not tuned yet, but I can still feel the potential when I creep into 3-4psi. Hopefully Sam@GTM can work his magic and soon I'll be making 500hp on 91 octane and 6-700hp+ on C16.

I'm one of the few that have been building my car to compete in drag racing events. Hopefully I can compete with some of the high hp drag Z's(like audible mayhem) on My350Z. My goal is to see low 10's on drag radials and maybe even high 9's on slicks(that's wishful thinking though).


Thanks for the comments guys.

 

I asked JWT for the 350Z IC but they ended up sending me the twin G35 IC's. Plus, I don't really like the look of the JWT 350z IC and a custom setup is pretty expensive having to redo all the piping, fabbing, etc...

 

awesome ride... make sure to post up updates and your times once you get that car running on the track/strip!

 

If you get a CF hood, make sure to paint it black. Maybe just leave the vents CF.

 

love that look with the twin intercoolers

 

Do you have any better shots of your rollbar? I'd like to see what you did with the back seats. Thanks!

Car looks great. I wish I was TT.

 

im surprised i dont see any rock chips on your front bumper, it looks brand spankin new

 

lookin good......nice change up from the TS front to the 2 intercooled oem

 

dope..

 

HAHA...Very good observation! The bumper is brand new and everything(lip, bumper and grille) was painted and installed the day before the pics were taken!

 

Thanks tru. I love your G's setup, very clean. I have viewed most of your picture threads, you have some great shots.

I loved my TS bumper and if I had the extra time and money I would have done a custom single IC setup. But I think the DS Lip and Gialla Grille create the cleanest OEM bumper setup, especially with the JWT IC's hangin out in front.
