Everything is for sale for the right price. The wheels are HREs new they start at $1500 per rim. These ones are custom made in super aggressive sizes and offsets.

Nothing is impossible when money talks your right and VQ engine that goes to 10K RPM range possible ? well again if you have money it’s no problem ! Send it to cosworth they will make it happen and be a one of the few that did something different than TT or Supercharge.

But just to think about a VQ doing 10 000 rpm … probably just going to be a dream … TT more affordable …

Look at that -----\> [http://www.cosworth.com/shop\_item.php?productid=476](http://www.cosworth.com/shop_item.php?productid=476)

or for all the cosworth mods --\> [http://www.cosworth.com/search.php?changecountry=true&cid=105&fld\_searchterms=vq&fld\_type=x](http://www.cosworth.com/search.php?changecountry=true&cid=105&fld_searchterms=vq&fld_type=x)

Is Cosworth is reliable … I say YES to that if you don’t believe me check for yourself on wikimedia !

There is a reason people SC or TT it is proven and less costly with more power potential than N/A which was big with Japanees tuners for awhile but I think reality set in. Sure its cool to have a 350whp N/A untill you get smoked by a 400whp TT car that cost less money to build.

lol so reading back I wasn’t trying to make fun of you, or piss you off even if my post sounded that way. so sorry 😛 but you did make it seem like you were talking about making your Z do 11k rpm…

either way Initial D IS actually very real in a lot of the things they talk about and show in the cartoon… just saying dont use it as technical facts 😛 like the fast and the furious… wouldn’t want your diamond plate floor pans to come flying off…

😉

jks

I now have Falken 452 in 265/35 19Front/285/35 19Rear I like them they stick fairly good(I havent had them long though) my last tires were Toyo T1R they were exellent as well. Bang for the buck those the two I would reccomend.

> No thats well 35 th years of Z if you look on google 240Z it starts in 1970 so + 35 years = 2005. … PS: Your 25 years is the switch of name Datsun/Nissan in around 1980…

I know I’m little late to the party, but just to clarify, sometime between 1980-1983 Nissan cars/trucks sold in NA were sold/badged as DATSUN by nissan. This continued until 1984 when the names were switched NISSAN by datsun. In 1985 the datsun part was dropped. So 1984-2009 = 25 years of NISSAN.

Well your probably right ! 🙂

25 th year of the creation of the Name Nissan then sorry for the confusion.  
This post was mainly to talk about the Z 35th year.

But thx for putting me in the right direction.

By the way I will be back from a trip in june so I’ll finally be able to attend to one of your meeting there !
