Default 2009 Nissan 370z Amuse Stage 2 GTM SC



I never thought the day would come that I would part ways with my 370. It felt just like yesterday that I found this wicked looking Chicane Yellow Z (Color offered only in 2009) on the forums while I was deployed in the Middle East. Now, after seeing her come up from a base+sport model Z to a fully modified dream car, I can safely say that I will always remember the great experiences and awesome people I've met through owning this car and being part of such an amazing enthusiast community.

Operation
-461.5whp and 335lb-ft of torque on the Official Dsport Dyno with an 8psi pulley (Can also be read at Dsport Magazine Issue #137)
The car has always ran great and still runs strong. No issues with the motor whatsoever and sounds like a BEAST. Especially with the Bypass valve going off.
If you want, you can go up to an 11psi pulley and break 500whp. I just decided to keep it safely under 500 as, at the time of the supercharge production, no one knew the limit of the engine.
Low 15,XXX Current Mileage - Daily driven in Hawaii for a year but now only sees Car Shows and specific Car Meets here in Los Angeles (Maybe a night out with the wifey =P)

Issues
Update - Fixed the Power Steering issue as it was a loose fitting. Cleaned the engine bay a bit when I changed oil but suggest a deeper cleaning if time permits (I barely have time nowadays)

-The only problem I came across is that the original Power Steering (PS) line burst and I upgraded it through a shop in Hawaii that specializes in P/S Lines. I left the old hose in there as well as it was zip tied to other lines and it would have been a pain to cut every single one of them. During my initial assessment of where the leak was, I believe that I didn't tighten another fitting in the PS system and so it leaks somewhere else (most likely the PS Filter). I always check the reservoir to make sure and I usually have some Dextron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (Which the vehicle's PS system is designed for).

-The car is low and I live in Los Angeles, so the front bumper has taken a beating. Some of my fellow Z guys saw me scrape hard at one of the meets. I almost cried. The side skirts not too much, but you can imagine the normal wear and tear with lowered cars. i.e. scraped bumpers, chips, etc.
-The California sun is harsh on my carbon fiber MINES rear spoiler addon and has faded a bit. Normal with any carbon fiber part.
-Stereo is stock. Speakers are blown as well. I actually just leave it off and enjoy the car sound (seriously, it sounds great). But I did put sound deadening mats in the trunk as I thought I was going to install some ICE. Never did.

Track
-Even though I planned to do it this year, the car never got to see a track day in her life. Nor a drift, nor a burnout. Respect.
