Love the car man. Looks clean and looks like a lot of hard work and money was put in it. Congrats on it and props to you.

Back to being stock and slow
I don't think anyone is trying to be mean to you. When you make a public post on the internet, it's bound to get picked apart by someone. That's just forum life. You should try to get used to it. You just have to learn to roll with the punches and be able to back up your claims with facts that make sense. Not everyone is as tactful as you would like them to be, but I think a lot of the technical questions are inevitable – especially when you post a car with X amount of power, $90k in it and a UtecThis IS a car forum with a lot of knowledgeable people on it and when something doesn't add up, we all want to know how you did it. It's a discussion board....thus meant for discussion....which is a back and forth exchange. There are a lot of ppl on here with 350's and maybe they want to know how you did it so they can do it to their car
P.S. Our shop has been in countless magazines (Batlground) and we know countless magazine peeps. They don't lie per say, they just take you at your word. It's not like they come out and do an engine pull apart to inspect to see if you are not embellishing. I have had a lot of friends on the cover of magazines.....and it's not always the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That's fact.
No I am feeling you. That is exactly what I posted for I had a great disscusiion with dirty mech and he recommended a good shop to dyno that what I am on here for but I am hearing you.. Keep in mind I am not a young kid trying to show off I am just pleased with my new car thats it give me some info on your shop there are some things that need done before I sell it.Originally Posted by Tracy

I'm glad you understand. I know more than anyone how hard it is to deal with keyboard cowboys. You don't know me, but I am a chick who has been on TV and in magazines and has had a lot of fast cars that sometimes don't make sense to everyone. Every one of my cars have pioneered power and trust me, everyone wanted to try to call me out on it. Sometimes it's just innovation and there is nothing wrong with that. Just keep your cool and don't let the shit get to you. I'm not always one to talk, but in my old age, I have learned it's not really getting my blood pressure up over it. It's totally cool to be excited about your new car. I feel that. Just be prepared for the haters and don't give anyone the pleasure of getting to you. Cap Locks only fuel the fire. LOL!
My shop is www.batlground.com We have a dyno and a very well known tuner. You can go to the gallery if you are interested in what cars we have.
Best of luck to you and congrats on the cover shoot. I hope you enjoy the car!

That looks like white oak's cannongate!
Where are you?! I've never seen your car and I want to!

I love z's!
especially boosted z's
holy shit thats nice
Very nice car! Now just take some deep breaths, ease off on the hater card, and welcome to the site.
eh that skyline rapped you car in that vid link you posted
You know better; next time will be a ban.
imo i would much rather have that skyline, no offense i mean your car is still ballin and all... Susann's z is as fast if not faster and she didn't spend that much....
You know better; next time will be a ban.
that's tight. Repped.
N/A>>><<<BOOST
Great car. I'm not a fan of little intercoolers, but I'm sure it's as functional as it needs to be for you (seriously. I'm not being sarcastic...i just don't liek the way they look. i don't doubt it's relevance to teh car). I love the looks of the car though. It's very unassuming for having 3x's the hp a stock one has.
Pssssssft!!!! Zoom Zoom BOOM!!!!
i still say susans is faster and she has less than half of what you got. and she is rollin on 20's
You know better; next time will be a ban.
That is what carv2 put in the car in 04 I am a dealer I didnt pay that much for this car and I do not know susan or her car but cool...... shes rollin
lol what are you smoking do you have any idea how much Susan has dropped into that Roadster... lol yeah a lot more than you think and a lot more than thomas. any idea how many time Z1 popped her motor, before its current stroker form.... lol

Turbo Magazine did go out of business...
So, you bought the car like that ? You are a dealer? So now you trying to sell the car?
Something don't add up in this thread..
Again u have fail to comprehend the simplicity of my posts to you so let me spell it out for you:
I congradulated you onyour car and said i liked it but the parts used dnt seem like enough to make the claimed power. oh well, if im wrong it wont be the first or last time.
I never said i was coming to beat u up idiot. I was just letting u know that i am not a chicken shit and i would say anything i post to ur face if neccessary.
You didnt call anybodys bluff bc i said id pay for ur dyno run and i still will. but im not calling to ask anybody about ur car. Bring it to the dyno and show me that it does make the power u claim or stay behind ur computer posting pics and phone numbers to call ppl and ask them about the car. As a courtesy for showing up, ill pay for the run. its simple. you either come or you dnt. it doesnt matter to me like i said b4.
I never said the dyno graph u posted was fake. just the fact that anybody can post a pic of a graph and a car but until i see it put the power dwn it could be fake.
And young? im older than you think dude so if you want to start the e-bashing about being immature, shit talking and whatever else we can do that too.
I tried to be nice and even compliment u on ur car but u want to keep taking my posts to be offensive when they arent. Your gonna have a rough ride if you think ive been mean to you already.
Well you cant just throw on a huge ass intercooler on lets say 16g turbo or w.e. If you want ur car to run properly you gotta go by the size of the intercooler that you need.
By the way, sick Z brother.
bs! i had a 30x12x4 intercooler on my geo with a stock saab turbo.
maybe now i haven't talked to her in a few months. last time i seen the car is was about to go in for a fresh paint job. eh she drives it alot. all i knows is her car is fastlol what are you smoking do you have any idea how much Susan has dropped into that Roadster... lol yeah a lot more than you think and a lot more than thomas. any idea how many time Z1 popped her motor, before its current stroker form.... lol
You know better; next time will be a ban.
What does she drive and what does it have in it....
Well if i just threw on some big ass FMIC, do you know what i would get? lmk when u figure it out.
Nice car, too new for me, though.
i dont like Z's but i like yours very nice

Very Nice
Really
I tell you what you call Susan and call me on 3 way at 770-838-7777 ext 311. We never blew any of her engines. The car came here in stock form and we installed an APS kit. Stock engine never blew she took it to a shop and had them build an engine. You need to get the story right before posting. You can talk to me at the varsity next month about it I'm a talkative person.lol what are you smoking do you have any idea how much Susan has dropped into that Roadster... lol yeah a lot more than you think and a lot more than thomas. any idea how many time Z1 popped her motor, before its current stroker form.... lol
Meet me at the mall....it's going down.....
Ha! Sup John. :high five:
Wow. I received an email from a good freind regarding the where-abouts of our former shop car. Even though it has some less than attractive cosmetic parts on it currently, it still brings back fond memories. I miss that car.
The car was cutting edge for it's time (2004) and would most likely still give most a run for their money. I have to make it clear, back when we were developing the Z33 platform for forced induction, little to no parts were available. We were one of few in the country to spearhead a boosted 350z.
Our 350z was almost entirely a vehicle for demonstration/prototyping purposes. It was not race car. It was designed to be used on the streets (although the high power levels are not for most). 75% of our customers want us to build "street cars".
On one of the many venues where we displayed the 350z, we were approached by cheif editor Robert Choo from Turbo Magazine. He knew about the car for a while and wanted to do a feature asap. Since we already knew Andy Bui (photographer) from other feature cars we've built, it went to print soon after. We sold the car to a young gentleman from Dubai who was enrolled in DC area school. It had ~2000 miles at the time, not 20,000. I don't know where it went from there.
Since then, many advancements have been made for forced induction on the VQ platform. Some of the posters here are correct in their inquiry on the use of certain parts. Keep in mind, the parts we selected were done so mostly on the fact of availability. We played a vital role in the developement of said parts. Of course they are not the best compared to currently available components, but they allowed us to make a break through and achieve our goal at the time.
As far as certain members here not believing the dyno plots, that is simply absurd. I have unaccountable hours into developing the matrix of numbers that direct the UTEC for engine control. CARV2 played a vital role in refining the UTEC for FI'd 350Z's. Consider this, Jermaine (Black Tuner) from TurboXS and CARV2 worked into the early morning hours tuning some of the first ever 350Z turbo maps. The dyno graphs are legit. The numbers are real. It is what it is.
Since the time of the CARV2 350Z, VQ forced induction has reached incredible levels. I feel fortunate to have played a small part in this. The new owner of the car will have many smiles
Thanks for all of your comments.
