A few months ago a friend of mine here in Little Rock was going to have his 350Z shot for a feature in Sport Compact Car and he suggested that I show up when the photo shoot occurs.

A couple of days before the shoot he called and gave me the time/location of the shoot and I went out there. The photographer shoots for Primedia and after he saw my car he said he could shoot it then. I got his bus. card and saw Turbo on there and asked if I could get it in Turbo. He said he would send the pictures to the editor and we would find out. A couple of weeks later I was contacted by Turbo for some information and here we are now

I scanned the article, here it is. I apologize for the size, everytime I try to resize it becomes non-legible.

 

Nice.. Pics are blurry though

 

i saw that issue few days ago
the car looked great

 

Thats awesome man!!! They really did a nice write up too! Congrats!

 

Just curious, was the dyno graph for pulls done with the gt35R you have now, because it looks like the spool up is very late and the torque drops off much slower than I would expect in the higher RPMs.

 

To make those scans easier to read, save the original high-quality image at a lower resolution, but keep the same file size. Try 800 width x 1100 height, that should look nice.

just wanted to say that is one very nice looking FD. I have the exact same CCW's and they look great on a Silverstone FD. The Petit flares blended in look eggsellent.

What size tires up front and out back? I would assume 335/18's out back.

Nice job once again.

pics no worky anymore

 

nvm they working blah.

 

Congrats on getting in the mag. As everyone has said, the car looks absolutely amazing. Love the engine, love the interior, love the wheels, the whole freakin car looks great. Great job and once again, congrats.

 

Nice wide arches mate.....Where can I find such treasures?

 

Way to represent! Congrats... great car...

 

Just wondering, are you short or the seat got moved way forward for the pics?

 

Thanks everybody I appreciate the compliments

I will try to scan the article again. Every way that I try to resize them, it just makes it worse. I'll try some different settings when I scan again.

They are 17x12's in the back wrapped with 335/35 Kuhmo race rubber. The flares are from Pettit Racing in Florida. Up front I run 275/40/17 on 10" wheels.

I am 5'9", I think the seat was scooted up a bit for the pictures.

 

I knew that I would be called out on the dyno graphs. They are actually from a T66 ball bearing turbo. My differential took a crap on me when we were dyno tuning, so I was not able to get solid numbers out of my setup. Now I have a Kaaz and RP 300m axles, shouldn't have anymore problems in the future.

 

wow, i never would have thought that those rims are only 17's.... looks awesome

 

very nice i just add your article to my rx7 scrap book!!!!!!!!

also how much darker is your paint job compared to the oem silver stone matalic

 

beautiful..you got a pm..
