Default Nissan 350Z coupe!

Just thinking ahead of what car I should go for next, and have always wanted a turbo or supercharged Nissan 350Z, And prices falling as low as £11k for a import, and turbo kits for about £3k, I think it could be a good little project.

Does anyone know any good forums for the 350z and any websites that sell aftermarket parts like turbo's, superchargers etc.

O.K 11k was a bit optimistic.

Auto Trader has one for £9,5k, but the mileage is well high. Seen some decent ones for about £14k, but I could stretch to about £17k.

Cant believe your selling your Supra already.

I saw the pictures you put up of it and it looked well mint, how come you want to get rid of it.

Thats what I would like to know, £3,5k sounds good for a turbo conversion which includes everything like ecu management, turbo, intercooler fuel pump, injectors and blow off valve.

Ive spent more then £3,5k to get my WRX to 315bhp which already has a turbo in place.

I know that Power Enterprise do a turbo kit which takes the power upto 400whp at 7psi, so if the wrc conversion takes it to the same sort of power then I personally think its a bargain.

Cool

The 350z is already 276bhp straight out of the box, normally aspirated ... adding a turbo will be pretty mental & powerful!!

Twin Turbo gives + de cat & induction kit takes it to 420 bhp, decent zorst adds about another 60.

Ive driven the 420 & the chassis can take it although the traction control works overtime, we took it off & spun out on the 2nd lap although most slides were very controlable. The 350Z has a stunning chassis for a stock car & can be a stack of fun even in totally standard form
