Hey guys, I've had the Z for a couple years but I am finally able to boost this monster.

VQ35Chick's 2003 Nissan 350Z

Please keep in mind, as you go through my pictures and wondering about time frames and such, I am not what you would call "rich" so give me a break if this car isn't turboed in a week!!! I am your average money maker that doesn't spend every single penny on her car and doesn't devote every single second of life to work on it.

A Flashback Through Time

VQ35Chick's 2003 Nissan 350ZMessing w/ the Z when I first got it.

 Finally decided it wasn't fast enough so I bought a NOS Dry Kit and upgraded to a 20lb bottle for shits and giggles. Here was the gauge and switch set-up. VQ35Chick's 2003 Nissan 350ZSorry for picture quality. I was too lazy to run back inside to grab the keys and roll down the window..

-Ignited Switches on custom made switch board

My BF (Ryan) got me these great taillights for the Z.

Ryans got an STi so eventually I was jealous of his acceleration and started getting serious about giving this Z some serious balls. We took EVERYTHING out and started anew. I decided to start improving the small things first so I started w/ the sound system.

VQ35Chick's 2003 Nissan 350Z    We re-wired all the speakers to fit a new headunit, made the installation look factory, installed 2 12" Reference Series Infinities and amp and kept the stock Bose speakers.. Sound's completely different!!!

Bose speakers = Fantastic

Bose headunit = POS (at least for my year anyways)

We haven't taken any recent pictures but it looks completely stock.

 

Next I re-did the N20 system also. And downgraded to a 10lb bottle instead.. (I was gettin ripped on by a couple people "She had enough nitrous to blow herself up!" Yeah.. N20 is flamable... riiiiight) Come on people! It's on the damn label!

N20=NON FLAMABLE

However, NON FLAMABLE DOES NOT=NON EXPLOSIVE

Get your shit straight.

 

September 08: Finally I can start joining the Boost Club!! My miracle worker (Ryan) bought and installed a UNIVERSAL intercooler kit on my car. This beauty fits like a dream. You'd think it was made for the Z. Here's how we have it set up: Finished this kit in October 08.

February 09: Once the intercooler kit was on, the next biggest thing we had to take care of was turning the non return type fuel system into a return type.... Talk about pain in the ASS. Took us a couple weeks... But we did it! (Finished end of February 09)

The fuel system though took a long time, in the end it was well worth it. The system runs like a dream, better then we could've imagined. Thank GOD Ryan was there to guide me!! With just this upgraded system, the car runs even better and there is definately a HP increase.

 

March 09: Ryan is currently working on my turbo manifold and this last step is taking a long time but we're making sure everthing is PERFECT. And we're not in a rush... I'll post some pictures up as the manifold gets finished and installed.

***Keep checking back for updates!***

 

Thanks for viewing! Oh, and

 

SPECIAL THANKS TO MY MIRACLE WORKER.

Where would I be now without you?!!
