Bet you never worried about saying that in the VR-4

Absolutely beatiful car and the gunmetal rims are such a compliment to the car with the blacked out trim. I am switching the Moda's to the 3000GT and trying to decide on a wheel choice for the SC. I thought I had my mind made up until seeing these pics. Awesome!!!

all I can say is, that is true motivation for me to get my baby tuned, prepped, and ready for some tarmac. I hate sitting on a goldmine and not being able to spend it. Beautiful cars man, im loving that Z. Also, good point about what somebody said earlier, no discrimination, domestics, euros, and imports all riding together, awesome.

yea it put down 464rwhp and 454 ft-lbs torque. So far, the W58 seems to be doing just fine. I just put in some fresh Redline fluid in there, so maybe it helps a bit.

I'm using the Horsepowefreaks clutch kit. (6 puck sprung ceramic disk, ACT pressure plate), and i'm currently using a stock flywheel. It's just as easy to drive as the stock clutch. I drive the car 300 miles/week on the freeway and in city traffic.. no complaints or problems at all

rykwebb- thanks for the kind words Yea I really wanted a high horsepower, clean, daily driven SC300- and I think I've accomplished exactly that

thanks again for all the comments. I'll be installing a 1bar wastegate spring in the next couple weeks, so I'll turn up the boost to 25psi. probably some more videos/track results/ dyno #'s will shortly follow. Wish me luck!

Nice and hot! I also have a black SC, too and can't wait till it's back on its wheels. Are you running a boost controller with the 1 bar spring? I might have missed on what you're running but 1 bar is only 14.7 psi.

right now I'm running a 10psi wastegate spring, so the max I could boost is about 20psi.

I'll be installing a 1 bar wastegate spring (min boost will be 14.5psi)- this way I have more room to turn up the boost. I plan on doing about 25psi or so.

not sure why, but the greddy profec B max's out at 20-21psi with a 10psi wastegate spring installed. Hopefully it'll boost more with the higher psi spring.

Kapeesh?

Awesome! Lots of boost & lots of torques. Just out of my curiosity, did you swap with 2JZGTE or just stock (maybe built) 2JZGE Na-T? I just drove my friend swapped 2JZGTE with 9 psi and I love it. I can't imagine what it'll feel like at 25 psi. Mine is a SC400 stock and will run 12 psi max.
