As many of you know, because of personal reasons I parted out
the G last October and sold it. Was a very difficult decision but
was the right choice for my family and I at the time.


http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...4/IMG_1284.jpg
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...4/image001.jpg

After tracking and Auto-X events, I decided when I got my next car
it'd be a 370, so for the past 2 months or so, I've been searching
for a clean pearl white 370 Nismo...and I think I found a diamond in the rough...

Below is a Video from MotorWeek. If you'll notice, the Z test vehicle is a 2009 and serial #0021....the 21st 370 Nismo built....


http://www.youtube.com/embed/9ZEKC7vNA-0

Well, the Z in the video is now MY Nismo!!
I take pride in this knowing that Nissan wouldn't have sent
a flawed Nismo in ANY WAY to get tested...and passed in every
single inspection/test. Car was tested after it had 5k miles of break in...

1st owner from Ohio titled the car in 2010 with 10,300 miles...
which I bought the car 2 weeks ago with 12,848 miles!!

Believe me Brian, there's definitely a reasoning behind going with my non-resonated catback. After seeing that FI kit rep'd here in the midwest, its going to drive me crazzzzzy!!!

Couldn't agree more. Honestly, knowing I was going to change everything about it but the bodykit, only reason I went with the Nismo is for the actual body kit. I still to this day find it to be the sexiest and cleanest kit offered for the 370z.

Ahhhhh what a sweet sound man :tup:
I really start to like the FI TDX with non-resonated X-pipe. You got the FI RHFC in. You reckon I can expect yet a little more noise if I opt for the FI HFC, instead?
OMG, I'd be so excited! :excited:

Luciano13 01-10-2014 02:04 PM

Sounds great but much different from mine.....
U have SS or CF?

Thank you! Yep, you can expect just a little bit more since you'll be deleting a full 8" resonator.

Your ride looks pretty low, but really nice, I have the FI exhaust also and know you have to be careful because of the angle of the exhaust, but just curious if even after being careful you have scraped with your coilovers.

Actually have never had an issue. I had full FI on my G37 and was absolutely slammed. The canisters themselves hang at their lowest points where your wheels are, so if you ever go over a bump, it technically should be at the highest point of the car rather then a hump.

I've seen some hit something that stuck up in the road, which to me is extremely weird considering that my front bumper has always been the lowest point of the car, so if I ever were to hit, it'd be the bumper clearing the way.

Thanks man. Its just a crazy story how it all went down. Didn't even realize that it was the motorweek car until after my good buddy sent me the link AFTER I bought it!

shurik355 04-05-2014 07:36 PM

What's up bro! I see you went with the Z over G huh? haha well I did the same. Sold the G and bought my 40th Z about a month ago.

If you remember I was the guy who bought your WORKs when you were parting out your G. =)

Little update to my journal. This Saturday, August 16th we are doing a dyno/tune day. Dyno is a Dyno Dynamics.

I personally will be tuning with the following:
-Fast Intentions Resonated HFCs
-Fast Intentions NONresonated SS catback
-Stillen Gen3's
-Stillen UD Pulley
-MD M370 intake manifold (still debating on installing or not)
-Nissan Motorsports 34row Oil Cooler
-Nismo rear wheels mounted**

Should be a fun day. We have 4 or 5 of us tuning which should be fun. We've considered throwing the local Fast Intentions TT owner on just for sh/ts after his long haul home from Cali to MN.

You should put up pics of your new wrap! Loving the black!

Hotrodz 08-14-2014 02:26 PM

I would add the M370 for the gains in torque...it's worth it!

nogoodname 08-14-2014 02:31 PM

I remember you from myg. Congrats on your Z, nice mods!

Over the years on myg37.com as well as on here and seeing everyone sell theirs with "no or minimal" gains, its very hard to justify putting it on.

I've had so many guys that I've seen sell them which I PM'd to get their honest opionions on, and they just say its not worth it. So many mixed reviews.

Hotrodz 08-15-2014 09:45 AM

Yup, I saw about a 10ft/lbs more on the torque side of things and increase in throttle and acceleration according to the butt dyno lol.

SS_Firehawk 08-15-2014 11:08 AM

The car does pick up a bit more growl. It's subtle, but it changed the exhaust note just a tad bit lower. The M370 is nice, but with the Z1 modified VHR manifold, the m370 gains over the modded but are minimal, but the modded vhr will continue to make more power, especially up top.

damn really? That was with a tune I'm assuming?

Should just go FI TT which I've debated up until this point on going TT, and BEGGED Tony@FI to fab some intakes, but at this point for me with a house being built, and baby boy on the way, TT is a bit outreached right now, so Gen3's, UD pulley and M370 hoping to hold me over for a year or so...

Come with me to Brainerd next Wedneday or the one after. We'll put you in my car for a 1/4 run or two or three. Then decide if you want the twins. :)

Hotrodz 08-15-2014 03:03 PM

I hear you loud and clear on keeping your priorities straight! But once you go boosted NA won't due anymore.

Yeah, the number I gave you were after a tune and is what Seb figured. My dyno sheets are posted in the Engine Section within the M370 Review tread. I pulled some pretty good numbers with just K&N drop ins, exhaust and ART pipes.

1cleanZ 08-18-2014 10:39 AM

Update from Saturday's "test and tune".

Got the UD pulley installed (PITFA!!!!!!!!! who thought getting the bolt out and then pulling off the pulley?)

Put the car on the Dyno and.....the A/F looked perfect immediately. Added some fuel, took some away...running rich in the low end at 11ish could squeeze about 3whp at the top end. To me, just not worth it. Entire curve between all three pulls/adjustments in a/f were damn near identicle so I elected to stick w/ the OEM Nismo tune as it seemed to keep the A/F in the safest places, not to mention the idle was perfect.

Gen3's, M370, UD pulley, RHFCs and SS catback, put down 320whp and 258 ft/lbs of tq. My goal was 320 keeping the 300 cell cats intact, and we got there. (All of these #'s were with my 20" WORK GS2's mounted)

Yeeeeeah. It didn't take us going to the 1/4 mile for me to want Twins. A simple drive around town in Brian's (Arrvaxx) 40th FI TT was enough for me. I've also road in the Prototype out in Cali (Blake's), as well as Tony's GTR. Damn it it makes our NA cars just seem....sluggish. The sound of the exhaust...sure, great, love it....but the sound of each shift point or even a slight acceleration and letting off.....ahhhh, that blow off valve, that tq pull, ....baaaaaah, like I need to explain it to the both of you, you BOTH HAVE IT ANY TIME YOU WANT IT!!!!!! :icon23:

We shall see. House closing is Sept 29th, our son is due in December. 2015 may bring on the next big step for the Z, but definitely not this year.
