Default NEWBIE 350Z OWNER

Hi all fantastic site by the way, Im 26 and live in london UK and currently own a 350Z which I love (dont hate me ) , but I now fancy something different. I love my Jap cars and I recently started to read that alot of people are supercharging or turbo charging S2000 with great success. I love this car as the shape is beautiful and the chassis is much lighter than a Z. Can anyone tell me the best conversion to do and has there been any major problems with such a conversion? My ideal would be to have a conversion to reach about 340bhp with the following bodykit:

Can anyone tell me what the advantages of having this over a 350Z too.
Sorry if my lack of knowledge makes me sound like a spastic.

heres a pic of my car it has a mini mac install too:









Cheers all Jay

Nice side wings... euhm... doors

No joking, car looks great, nice seats, body kit, rims etc

I'm not charged yet, so I will let the real men answer that question of yours...

And yeah, the S is much more light and agile, drove some 350Z vert's last year.

Nice sounding engine, but heavy and no cart feel imo...

I missed VTEC the most

Nice Z! I just made the swap to an 07 S2000 from a G35 coupe. It seems to me that people are constantly swapping between the 350/G and the S2Ks.

Best thing for you to do is go Drive one and let us know what you think. Some like the S, some don't.

i say you keep ur 350z. your 350z looks nice and i am sure it's turning some heads. s2k is bout get discontinued and next year you will see lots of new cars coming out. from new evo to sti and heck even skyline. keep your 350z til next year and see if you wanna get something else if not build that thing. 10g will get you two turbos running nicely and get the power you are looking for.

I think that may have to be the plan I just really love the look of the S2000 but I went to youtube and saw the two race and 350z seems to have the better out the two. Guess it comes down to personal choice.

Its not easy trying to find a car to match the following needs:

20k to spend
around 300-370bhp bhp
Looks Good
Easy to modify
Not too Old like Supras
Must be Jap
Must be good on insurance

think its near impossible in the UK wish I lived in the states as 20k would be nearly 40k over there
