Hey man! Welcome to Zdriver. I too am on 300zxclub(not so often) and tt.net (more often), but Zdriver is by far my favorite! I think you'll learn to love the atmosphere here. I know you already know that Rizz knows a lot and so do a lot of other guys here. It sounds like you have a lot of work and sweat into your Z and thats always good to see. Are you trying to hit the 300hp mark without Nitrous? That's be a noteworthy feat IMO.

Hey 94EmeraldZ, welcome to ZDriver!! Even though I don't drive a Z32...yet, most of us Z drivers get along pretty well nonetheless. Hope you like it here at ZDriver, and we look forward to hearing from you again in the near future...
And who doesn't know Rizz! That guy is so darn popular!! I'm green with envy...

Thanks for the welcome guys! WELL I KNO RIZZ IN PERSON!! lol. Yeah i actually am learning to really like this site.
The plan with my car is to hit the 300hp mark, even though its cost way to much money, i am in love with this car and will definitly keep it for at least another 3 years.
Thanks again for the welcome fellas/ladies!

Yeah, i bought the car and did the first repairs and mods on it. So i have alot of my own money into the car, he paid for a few of the big things, but i have to pay him back if i dont keep a part time job while going full time at school and keeping up a 3.0GPA or higher. Im still working for my car, but yeah, that was definitly awesome for him to save my baby. I owe him huge.

You planning on anything else for your car?

I wouldn't say the best dual tip exhaust...B&B is stinkin sweet. I fI had the money, that would be my exhaust of choice. However, Stillen is pretty good, whad'ya have against STillen, Rizz? What exhaust do you have on your car? And cool deal on recruitment...I have a dream...and it's to see Zdriver get bigger, but not out of hand like some other forums that I'm aware of.

I just personally don't like the look. Worse, I abhor the sound of it. Just not to my taste is all. I have a custom made exhaust with a couple of Matrix mufflers. When I get some more cash, I'm going to get a Specialty Z exhaust. That's the plan anyway.

A guy in my club has it and I guess it does sound a little on the ricey side...not as deep as some of those others. I've heard some good things about the Specialty Z exhaust. All I can say is that if you have lots of money, B&B is the way to go. they're sooo classy!

If Zwrecker gets some B&B lovin..I better too...I brought them up! And 94....it's your car and I think it sounds pretty sweet. How'd you like the gains you got from those headers? pretty substantial I presume.

My SS downpipes from Specialty Z just arrived via FED EX today. I can't wait to install them. I wish I'd be able to see them in the engine compartment, 'cause they look sweet! I have to agree with Rizz on the Specialty Z exhaust system. It looks like it's 2nd to none. A very well thought out design. They really know what they're doing. They also make a pretty fantastic exhaust manifold/header. If you have $1800 to drop on such an item, go for it!

ok.. i called b&b and they said they haven't sent my exhaust yet, and to keep up the good work....hahaha jk. i am gonna wait for the test pipes when i do my engine swap, bc i still have an n/a and even tho i have custom pipes, i still need to keep some back pressure or i am gonna lose a lot of hp of the line

Well i did notice the gain from the headers except on my old motor i did all my mods at once... ( ECU Pulleys Intake Exhaust Headers Extrude Hone upper plenum timing )
It's all personal preference on what exhaust you like.
If you all would like to know more about backpressure and clear up all the myths etc
