13, 000 Turbo 350Z built with CHEAP parts vs. 33, 000 twin-turbo 350Z built with EXPENSIVE parts. Does more expensive mean more better? Were gonna find out once and for all. Donut bought two identical Nissan 350zs, and for the past few weeks have been modifying them to be FUN, daily drivers that you can take to the track. Team Low (Nolan Sykes & Aaron Parker) got a bunch of really cheap parts and in the end got a slammed turbo z that shoots flames all for around 13, 000. Team Hi (James Pumphrey & Zach Jobe) on the other hand, got a bunch of really nice expensive stuff totaling an astounding 33, 000. Then we tested them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on. Were gonna break down the cost of building these two cars, test them head to head on track, and decide which is better. Low Car got a set of eBay coilovers of unknown origin, and Hi Car was treated to a set of KW V3s. Next, we installed wheels and tires. Hi Car got some sick Advan RGIIIs wrapped in Bridgestone RE71s. Meanwhile on the Low Car, We bought some XXR 527s, and decided to run Federal RS-RR tires. In the end, both cars were able to achieve supercar-level braking distance by switching to super sticky rubber. Nolan and Aaron installed more aggressive brake pads, steel braided brake lines, flushed and replaced the brake fluid, and bled the lines. Over on Hi Car, Zach and James replaced the cars entire braking system with a 6 piston, 13 brake kit from Wilwood. After that we went inside our Zs, installing racing seats. The Hi Car got two Sparco QRT-R seats, a Greddy steering wheel, and a hub to make it removable. Lo Car received some Corbeau DFXs racing seats. Next, both cars were fitted with modified differentials to make sick skids easier. Hi Car got a very trick Kaaz 2-way differential. Zach spent a lot of time adjusting the spacing, making sure it was perfect. Over on Lo Car we took a different route. Instead of installing a new differential, we welded ours together After making a bunch of performance upgrades, it was time to alter the looks of our beloved Zs. Team Low decided to give Lo Car some plastidip. Over on team Hi, they took their car to a professional vinyl shop. Finally, we gave the Donut Zs some BOOST Hi car got a Jim Wolf twin turbo setup that made it sound like a Baby GTR. And the low car got a single turbo kit by way of eBay

For Hi Low, I would be interested to see an off road platform that you can daily. I'm thinking like a TJ Wrangler (the aftermarket is absurdly good for wranglers) or a Tacoma. Another cool idea I saw in the comments was to make quarter mile monsters for Hi Low (90s era mustangs and Camaros, for example.

It looks like it really came down to the ride quality of the suspension so maybe for the low car get highend coils and i think it would balance it out, it just seemed the coilovers made a hude difference. That said why not try a new season with good'ole 94 celica lol
reply

i personally would really love to see the s2 with some really cheap off road cars like a jimny and tune it up to be like a off road monster or something. but it would be really nice to see they tune it up a na engine with a sc or turbo. a 4wd could be fun as well.

I know its about having cool and fast cars. but would be really interesting seeing you guys do budget offroaders. Like both get a landcruiser or maybe one get expensive 4x4 and one get a cheap one and see if you can match them. Awesome series though
reply

Not that I'm a Z boy, even though you just did a pair of 3 fifty's I think it would be really cool to see a pair of to 280 z's With that long hood line, in line 6, And it would be kind of like fixing up an old car at the same time.
reply

What you should do is either buy, rent, or borrow a sports car thats similar in price to the final product of hi car and compare that as a third option to see if its worth it to build or just purchase somthing at that price point.

I wanna see Ecoboost Mustangs. I want you to piss off the whole world modifying four cylinder Mustangs. Piss off the Mustang and muscle car guys by doing the four banger and piss off the tuners doing a Mustang.
reply

Awesome series I am hoping you Hi-Lo something like the old Integra R Type. There are lots of them on the road and lots of after market parts available (and it would be one of Nolan's dream cars.
