my car is featured in the 10/05 issue of Turbo

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.

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.

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.
