Dammmit Jeremy! You wait till I leave the country to spew the good news!!! When I get Home this weekend we need to meet up! Hahaha I want to see what Sam is doing to my little beast right now :D. Ohhh and sam if you could do red couplers on my kit that would be great! Ukraine is fun but man do the roads suck!!! I have yet to see one 370z! I see lamborghini and other exotics but no z's shoot they even have rust stangs here! Anyway, car looks great bro! I call first ride ;) and we need to do a photoshoot of atlanta's most powerful z's when my car comes back!

fml.

Stormcrow, that is an incredible car!

Good job man!

wow amazing ride Storm!!!

I love the gt-r wheel color...perfect imo. Did u get it at a nissan dealership? And is it indeed just a sprayed on finish? Pic #2 is sick man, very aggressive...Is this lowered or just the nismo setup/body kit? The wheels look so much wider too??
hehe you have a killer tt setup and I'm stuck on your wheels:rofl2:

:iagree::iagree::iagree:Definitely my favorite Z on this forum now by far. So Sexy but Masculine. For some reason the stealthy FMIC makes me :happydance: I just LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!

Thanks for all of the wonderful compliments and comments, guys! I am glad there is so much appreciation for the mods and choices I have made. Seems we all have similar tastes. :)

CinZinnati - I had a local paint shop spray the wheels. They mixed the color via the color code for Nissan K11. It is indeed a sprayed on finish. So far, it has held up with zero issues. The car is lowered on Tein Monoflex coilovers. The wheels look wider because I put larger tires than OEM and spaced the wheels a bit. The fronts are 265/35 with 15mm spacers and the rear are 305/30 with 13mm spacers.

The Nismo ecu rom file is Different, It is a totally different tune all together,load axes are different and there is not as many timing table as the non Nismo Ecu.
So far this ecu is not responding the same way as other have. Also the knock threshold is lower on this ecu sense they are running a lot more aggressive timming then the other roms in the factory timing tables .

The car is making very good power @ 7psi, Told Jeremy with 12 psi i Can get him 600 RWHP but he said NO So i stopped @ 518 RWHP :D

The car is monster on the road, we have a cool video coming up here shortly .stay tuned

Here is a before and after Graph

Sam

Impressive numbers - only 518 at the wheels ;-) sick.
Difference must be amazing
Good for OP to have the will power to stick to his own targets.

Thx for info on rom, must be an UPREV viewable.
Why is the after pull started so late?
You said this ECU responds differently, is the knock threashold effecting the low rpm high load , 100% TPS area?
Is that noise above 6200 or is it pulling timing up top?
What the boost curve looking like?
Any TRQ numbers for the 12 psi run?
CA 91? be nice here on Vpower 93, bit more headroom for sure

Just interested in the Z's turbo runnings, as a potential customer I like to get a lot of info, my sig says it all.... my stash for mod is building but not quite there yet.
PM if you like to keep out of this thread.

Good to know you're in Miami. So did you take your car to GA to get it tuned? Is there any shop specialized in the Z's down in South Florida?

How long did they have your car.

These cars make great power at 6.5 - 7 psi, 12 psi would be insane!

Lou - Imagine a built block and some real boost - holy crap they would be like the high power supras for grip ;-0

much appreciated man. To me, the wheels are super important in getting an aggressive look (if that's what one is going for) and you nailed it! There's the body kits and all that, but I think it centers around the right set of rims/tires.

I know the nismo has slightly larger wheels, do you think I could pull of what you did...spacing and all, with my sport package?

Sam received the car second week of March. So roughly a bit over a month and a half now? But, there is a reason for the latency. I opted to let Sam document, via video, the whole build. This is the first Nismo with twin turbos anywhere, that I am aware of, and certainly the first 2010. Sam and I wanted to make sure that we learned everything we could about the Nismo...it's differences and nuances...and document all of this properly for the betterment of the community.


I agree. This is why I did not toss the OEM Nismo wheels for Volks or the like. They are incredibly designed wheels...probably the best OEMs I have ever seen...and I knew with the appropriate color and spacing, they would fit the bill perfectly.

I think you could pull it off. I have seen some spaced Sport package wheels that were painted black and/or smoke and they looked spectacular. You would, of course, have to lower the car on coils to obtain the same look, though.
