Hello from L.A.

KillerBee370 · 03-25-2009, 09:54 PM

Well I just found this forum and thought I would join up. I am new to the Z world and have only owned one other Nissan in my lifetime (a Sentra). I got my 370 after my Evo IX got totalled. I am happy with my choice and am glad that I found an online community dedicated to the 370 because that other site is full of 370 haters it would seem. Jealousy is a bitch.

My 09 370Z Touring/Sport package with 6 spd man trans. Chicane yellow of course! Car is currently being ECU tuned and modded at Techosquare and being featured in the online magazine 370Z dot com

My old ride... stage 1 Evo IX

Welcome aboard. The new car is much more attractive than the old one

Thanks. And my wife couldn't agree with you more on that point.

Ouch, the Evo got sandwiched.

Welcome, love the yellow!

So what mods are being installed?

So far the ECU has been shipped to Japan to get cracked (it's back already). I got some sponsorship for development of a full catback exhaust, hi-flow cats, experimenting with JWT dual pop chargers and possibly a few other goodies including a custom built oil cooler.

My baseline DYNO yielded a reading of 261 hp with 212 torque with load. Needless to say, I am eagerly awaiting some nicely upgraded numbers in weeks to come.

The high-flow cats and hi-flow exhaust seem to yield some good results from what I've seen. Good oil cooler is going to be very important for anyone hitting the track so that's what I'm most interested in at the moment.

Good luck with the build up, you'll have some people watching.
