New Xterra owner in Denver

[amreboot]

Well, I just got back from college (only 2 years in, not done yet). And I decided it was time to buy a newer car, espcially one that can handle the snow here in Colorado. As of my old car, it is a 1989 300zx turbo that with all its mods as roughly 330rwhp.
So anyways, this is my first car loan, so I am super excited!
Its a 2002 Xterra S/C SE 4x4
black on black
5spd

Welcome man...glad you found the site...the X looks good..now as everybody told me, lose the mud flaps and step rails....Laters~

[Stubby~CC]

Welcome :wave: You may find (as I did) that the supercharger doesn't make the truck as fast as one might think it would. Especially coming from a turbo import. Not to say it's slow, or not fun to drive, just different. The low end torque is a kick in the ass, and they rule offroad.

[Nissanclay]

Oooooo, supercharged 5-speed, thats sexy. Very rare!

Of topic but a nice little pathy in the background

[amreboot]

Here are a couple pics of my Xterra next to my z31! I just gave them a bath today. They look great!

tell us more about the Z.

and no, i don't just want to know cuz i'm a ricer now. i love a clean Z.

[ChefTyler]

Nice X and very nice Z! I have to say I think you're the first person I've heard of who is excited about a car loan :D

[amreboot]

heh, a lil info on the Z...
JDM VG30ET with only roughly 27k on the motor total including a complete
rebuild about 2-3k ago.
It has a really loose turbo LSD that needs to be replaced soon...
400cc injectors at 50psi fuel pressure
Front mount intercooler with 2.25 piping
Manual Boost controller set at 16psi
XTD Stage 3 clutch and flywheel
QTP Electric Cut Out Exhaust
Oil Cooler
CSF 2 core radiator
Weight reduction from 3200lbs down to 2950lbs

Thats basically it. Its been completely rebuilt and restored by me, everything down to spec and tuned properly. I haven't ran the 1/4 with the new intercooler. I did run with the stock piping at 10-12psi, it did low 13's. So I suspect with the higher boost, maybe low 12's.

Sweet rides! Looks like you're a 'take care of the paint' kind of guy. Nice!

Any plans for the S/C on the X? Pulley? Computer?

Mine is also a S/C, but the automatic. I'm looking to get a little more out of it, but haven't quite pulled the trigger yet.

Glad you found us here.

[amreboot]

hmm, plans..

Just for starters...
K&N intake
exhaust
front brush guards and tail light covers
bigger tires (dunno what plans yet as far as suspension - but thats kind of far off)

[Giancarlo93]

Nice X and nice looking Z!
Post more pics of the Z!

My mom is a photographer and I took a few years of photo class so I never look just at the main object.



That Z is clean! Very nice. I almost bought a 1991 300zx a week ago.

I keep blowing them up. Its ok though. I enjoy pulling a motor, takes me about 2-3 days for a complete rebuild and install.
