New 370z owner, inherited my father's

Dbeckwith · 08-09-2015, 10:46 PM

My Dad purchased a 2010 370z Roadster approx. 8 months ago. He was always working on it, but passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. My siblings and I decided I would take my share of the estate to pay off a portion of what was owed, and pay off the rest myself.

On to the car. Here's what he had done so far:
Injen CAI
2.5" exhaust ( I don't remember the brand, and haven't gotten underneath it get)
High flow cats (same)
25 row Z1 Oil Cooler

He was in the middle of putting on the Stillen Supercharger Kit, but didn't get to finish it. It isn't drivable at the moment, so I've got a mechanic who worked for his boss finishing up the SC install.

Will post some pics tomorrow, I should have it actually in my possession by this weekend, once we've moved into our new house and I have a garage for it.

I'm sorry for your loss. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago as well and it's tough. I hope things turn for the better for you.

Sorry for both of your losses of recent loved ones.

Welcome to the forums and enjoy the Z

So sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

May I suggest telling the mechanic to TAKE OFF the supercharger?

Just saw this post. Why would you suggest taking it off? Picked it up just over a week ago, and I've been loving it tbh

HulaGirl · 09-09-2015, 06:04 PM

So very sorry for your sudden loss. It's nice that you're finishing the work on the car. I hope you derive enjoyment from driving it as I'm sure he would have.

birdman71 · 09-09-2015, 06:25 PM

Very sorry to hear about the loss.. My sincerest condolences.

Welcome to the forums though and hope you get the car working here soon!

Ditto to Mr Clifford

Him being a Z owner and modding it shows he must of been pretty cool.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy the Hell out of the Z

Thanks all for the kind words. Looking forward to having this car around for a long time. I see why he wanted this supercharger on here :-)

Next step for you with that supercharger is to dyno it and see what whp you are pushing now

Stock Z with the mods that are on there run around 270-290whp or so (correcet me if I am a bit off anyone)
just depends on the brand and what aerodynamic performance they have included in the product.
Remember to do a lot of supporting mods with the supercharger now on the car otherwise you might blow the engine.
