First and foremost, I have to say wow. Hands down the most beautiful looking 350z I have ever seen, and it had blower whine to boot. Full Veilside type-3 body kit, deep black, wide lip chrome 5-spoke wheels, slammed. Extremely beautiful...



Well this is how it went. I pull into my friends' school around 2:00PM to meet up with them after school for a bit and see what's going on. I'm parked in a spot talking to friends and I see this masterpiece on wheels pull up. I'm thinking "Wow... His body kit costs more than my whole RX7." When I see it, all my friends tell me that not only is it supercharged, but he has Nismo parts that he bought from over seas.



So now I'm thinking "Damn I want a piece of this rich ass's car..." So as I'm leaving the parking lot HE REVS AT ME! I didn't even have to do anything to get his attention. So now he follows me out to the US1 light and I get in the left turn lane. He proceeds in getting behind me. Light turns green, I take the turn at relatively normal speed. At the end of the turn, I come out about 30 feet in front of him and he gets in the lane to my left. I'm not exactly speeding up because I wanted him to catch up to me. At the end of his turn, still 30 feet back, he punches it. I'm thinking "Nice, he's going to catch up and we'll get this underway."



Wrong... I'm doing 20mph, he gets 3 feet behind my door and he's STILL FLOORING IT. I down shift to second by the time he's even with me and punch it. He keeps pulling on me for a short period of time, but when you have that kind of a head start I would hope so. I shift third and his gap continually slowed from the rate it started. By the end of 3rd, he had completely stopped pulling me all together.



We started to hit traffic at the beginning of 4th and we had to start slowing back down. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png



I KNOW I would've beat him had we gone from an EVEN, FAIR start. For him to get that kind of an acceleration head start and to cease pulling on me anymore by the end of 3rd gear, leads me to believe that I would no doubt, take him in a fair race. By no means was his car slow, but it wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be. Honestly, I thought he would've **** all over me.



It just makes me upset when people don't give you a fair race, and then act like they've got a hard-core car because they "beat you." I think someone told me that they heard him bragging that he beat "the red RX7." That **** pisses me off so much!



Oh well... I'll catch him again, and the outcome wont be the same- I gurantee it.

well, there's no shame in loseing to a ultimately moded car

Hell yeah guy! I can completely believe that you can take that thing! 350Zs are quick sure, but damn they aren't as impressive as I was initially led onto believe. I've seen my friend's GTI in action on 283 stomp a 350Z and he only has basic bolt ons! I can only imagine the money spent on all those Nismo parts, and that Veilside kit!! And even how is mighty supercharger in reality can't pull through! Get that guy in a REAL race and show him up!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

350Z = detuned Supra in disguise.



They are whales man!



Let us know when you race him again...

aren't they kinda heavy?...Nice looking and sounding, but not my dream ride...

Ooooo!!!! You will squash his ass next time dont worry. If I was him I would be worried with a jump like that and you still nipping at his heals he better WAKE UP!



Good job. Where was this at PSL HS??

You'll run into him again and now you know how he plays, he won't have a chance. Let us know when you smoke his ass.

you know what, you deserve a "nice kill." cause you would've definately killed him if:

1. you were even

2. if there were no traffic.

go get him next time and put him in his place.

just wondering, what are your mods?

jus whoring here too

Pettit ECU

12 PSI

Street Port

TKT Pulleys

Full 3" Exhaust

6-puck Clutch



But, I just dumped 1,920 dollars into my car...



Getting a new Mazdaspeed front cover gasket, the new Greddy auto-timer, a custom built Fluidyne, and Pettit intakes, all installed for me by next Tuesday. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png



I'll be waiting for him. The intakes will make a night and day difference. I can't wait to catch him on the street. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

i used to live in miami and racing on us1 was a bad idea there way to many cops.

sweeeet..... he barely beat you with all that money dumped on that blower. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Nah, he raced in the middle of the day when all the old people are out breaking every traffic law in the books. The cops are afraid to be on the road here at that time.



The worst time to race here is at night when the roads are EMPTY thats when the entire police force is out waiting to protect the general public (who are all at home sleeping) from the "street racers".

Here the cops are a lot more busy during the day time. At night, you might as well kiss your ass good bye. lol



Yea, down south it's really hard to race anywhere. We used to jump from spot to spot. When one got broken up, we'd jump to the next. Multiple spots on US27, Chrome Ave, SR 84, SR 9, Albertson's parking lot way out west, etc.



After the big bust down here everyone heard about, Police helicopters fly up and down 27 on the weekends. lol

get an intercooler and pump that boost a couple more lbs.





(oh yeah i have a horizontal mount for sale https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR)

sweet man... nice one...

How much boost can the stock seals on the FD handle before they go boom?

Yea my next purchase is a greddy 3-row front mount, hks fuel pump, and turning boost up to 14-15. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

No fair! I want a Koyo Radiator and FMIC....if I at least upgrade my radiator, how much boost can I run on the stock seals of an S5 J-Spec motor with about 40k mileage on it?

i wouldnt raise the boost on just a radiator upgrade

Happy Easter everyone. What a coincidence, I just got off the phone with a friend that told me he got a 350 last week. He has know idea I'm getting an FD next week which once i get running properly will **** on his brand new track model! Nice kill dude. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If you think the radiator has anything to do with how much boost you can run, I would take it to a rotary specialist and have them guide you on what you should do to the motor. It'll help keep the engine cooler under higher boost, but that's about it.



Recommendation mods for more boost:



More fuel - fuel pump, ecu, injectors, etc



Internals - 3mm apex seals, street port
