Hello my name is Nate.

I just recently purchased an 04 EVO VIII from a long time friend. The car had 10,471 miles at time of pick-up. He had it custom tuned by Turbotrix. The mods include RMR intercooler pipes/ HKS 264 cams both intake and exhaust/ wall fuel pump 255lph/ Intake/ Turbo back exhaust/ Turbo trix custom ECU flash/ ect... I know him and know that he takes good care of his stuff.

I look forward to all future interaction with the EVO community and hope to learn and contribute to the continued growth of it.

Here is a link to his page: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/737129

What is a good price for this EVO VIII?

He said that with his current mods the car should be making 340AWHP .
Does anyone else have simuliar mods and dyno sheets to share so that I can just reference them?



This is what I still have but I put it up for sell a few weeks ago. Links to it and a list of modifications. On the highway it is hard to beat. It had the potential to run low 11's in the 1/4 mile all day and with the right driver it probly could have dipped into the high 10's. I just out grew the car.

Your Z is beautiful. Very well done. Gotta love the Rims/Brakes among many other things. What are you asking for it?

 

Hey Nate how are ya? Your Z is gorgeous I've always been a sucker for 300's, low 11's indeed. A good price for the evo is mid to low 20's. Sucks your selling your Z but welcome to the family...Theres fruit punch in the kitchen.

 

Thank you for the compliments on the Z!

I would like to get $22,000.00 but any serious offer that I recieve will be considered. I know that it will take awhile to sell but once the right owner comes along they will be more than willing to pay for this Z. It is one the cleanest I have ever seen. It was also tuned with longevity in mind. It trully is the complete package.

However, after serving in the military overseas in Japan my heart grew fond of the EVO from the V to the VIII they are definately the bench mark in handling and braking abilities out of the box. Power is definately adequate! Keep in mind I am turning over a car that has 150+ WHP and WTQ over this car. The thing that I love the most about the EVO VIII is that all power is transfered to the ground. With the RWD 300ZX TT it was not as effective dispite full suspension upgrades.

The Z is pretty nice, but the 440whp was made with race fuel AND water injection. That's what Jose is making with just race gas on the stock turbo, so it's not altogether impressive, and I'm not sure it would run low 11s easily at all, since it weighs over 3500lbs (300 more than the Evo).

 

Congrats on the purchase and welcome, you will love the EVO. Your Z definately looks good.

 

Thank you and yep the Z was very fast! They are most powerful on highway roll on(s). Aero dynamics and long gearing help that. I noticed that my new Evo raps out in all geas much sooner than the Z.

The Z:
1st 57mph
2nd 77mph
3rd 112mph
4th 140? something like that
5th 190 this where it should rap out

My max speed was some where in the 170's. Not 100% sure, speedo only shows 165 but I was still pulling. Very scary at that rate of speed!

-Nate

 

My Z weighed 3480 w/ a full tank of gas 17.9 gallons. But yes I agree the performance I was pushing wasn't dyno queen type of power. Fast non the less...

-Nate

 

congrats on the evo, but that is one sick z. im sure you'll be able to get the price you want for it, or worse comes to worse part it out and make more money. beautiful car though

 

Welcome! I agree too that your Z is nice. What do you think of the Evo so far?

 

Everytime I drive it I feel like I am on rails! I can't help but to throw it around on the road. It is simply the best handling car in the world! I just got done driving it in the rain (which BTW I wouldn't dare do in the Z, because of traction) and the EVO handled superbly. I know the mechanic that works at the Mitsu dealorship and I introduced my new baby to him. He likes but admits that he was surprised that I am selling the Z as are all of my friends. Oh well, sometimes you out grow things! The EVO is all that I have expected a car to be. The power will be tuned up after the car is paid for and the warranty is up.

Summed up, I am 100% happy with the EVO VIII...

-Nate

 

how do you feel going from a tiny 2 door sports coupe to a 4 door?

 

I love the EVO through and through! It is great. I can bring more than one person w/ me on lunch breaks...

-Nate

 

Congrats on the purchase. I felt the need for the transition too as I used to drive a '91 Z TT as well. and there's just no comparison for the handling and steering quickness of the Evos. Have fun with it

 

Thank you and just as a question did you catch hell from the Twinturbo guys too? I had one of the fastest cars in my area and the guys are seriously giving my a hard time about it. My mind was made up though!
