Hello All,

Name is Pat and I am new to the forum, actually first forum i have ever joined. I purchased my 2009 370Z back in August of last year. I recently just installed a Stillen Supercharger along with a slew of other parts via Vinny Ten Racing. Will post some pics soon and I look forward to talking to everyone.

Thanks,

Pat

Hey Guys,

Sorry just learning how to do all this stuff like add pictures. I need a sitdown with someone who can show me the ropes with this Forum lol.... I have attached a pic of my Z next to a GTR at the shop I go to VinnyTenRacing. Vinny did all my work which includes the following:

Stillen Supercharger
Stillen Ceramic Coated Headers
Stillen High Flow Cats that have been Gutted
Full Stillen Exhaust
Stillen front and rear Sway Bars
Eibach Pro Sport springs
B&M Short Throw Shifter
Stillen 25 fin Oil Cooler Kit
AEM Digital Gauges (Boost, YvR, Oil Temp)
Running a JWT single disc Clutch n Flywheel ***had a twin disc SPEC in but ran into crank sensor error and waiting to see what my SPEC rep is going to do for me so i will update everyone once I hear back***

I think thats about it for the moment and my 9lb pulley is on its way from Stillen. Vinny will be doing a custom tune via UpRev in the next few weeks.

I will try to send the link of my pre chargrer dyno run with everything above but Generation 3 Long Tube intakes that were on the car and obviously no charger or oil cooler. The car put down 306.35 hp to the wheels.

Waiting to video the after charger once 9lb pulley is in, however with a Rich Tune from Stillen it still put down 415 hp to the wheels and on a lean Tune we were around 430 hp to the wheels.

Hope this information is good and if I can assist anyone please reach out.

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see engine bay pics!

Who puts 370 wheels on a 350??

Thats like putting a nismo kit on a base model...

RedBullRR · 03-25-2011, 08:49 AM

My friend has them on his car, and my old 350Z has them. I def think it's looks nice. I also think a nismo kit on a non nismo looks nice....

Hello All,

Just wanted to give a scenario that I just had with Stillen that has left me with a bad taste in my mouth again!!!! Salesman Kenny is whom I have spoken to again regarding my 2nd order of their front splitter. I had to order this part for a 2nd time because the first one blew off while driving.

I originally thought that someone was possibly trying to steal it and backed out the screws but come to find out i am not the only one that this has happened two.

To date i have purchased from Stillen the following products:
Polished Supercharger
Oil Cooler Kit
Front and Rear Sway Bars
Headers
High Flow Cats
Full Exhaust
Front Splitter 2x
License Plate Frame
Engine cover plate
9lb upgraded pulley for charger

So i called in to ask for a credit on the second splitter and was told that is not possible and that i am a financially gifted client of theirs due to the amount of products that i had purchased. Kenny said i could speak to the Sales Manager, but i refused because i had an issue with him in the past that did not turn out favorable to my side in regards to the free engine cover that they are offering with a supercharger purchase.****i asked for the cover to be thrown in due to the fact i bought the charger 3 weeks prior to that promotion, but because i bought my supercharger through a wholesaler i was denied......ok ok so i wound up speaking to the Customer Service Manager the next day Chuck and he said that he wishes i had gotten him on the phone first because he would have thrown it in.....go figure.

So as far as the 2nd front splitter credit the same thing basically happened after requesting this from Kenny i am told no its not their issue and i could speak to the Sales Manager again .....given the history i declined and said i would make a post regarding this scenario thus all the information above. I find it hard to believe a company like Stillen can stay in business treating customers this way. The splitter was installed my a Stillen recommended shop here on Long Island and still they just expect the financially gifted clients to eat it........well if i am going to eat it then please read above and make your own decision on whether or not you want to chance making a purchase from a company that doesn't stand behind their products...

I cannot imagine how they treat people who aren't as Kenny would say financially gifted clients????? Decide for yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've found that Stillen is probably the best, most up-front, honest company I've dealt with on these forums. I think "Kenny" needs a lesson in customer service though. I've also spent a lot of cash with them and have always been treated with respect and integrity.

Your account.....?

AND, I also think that the issue with your splitter is probably not their fault. You should probably go after the shop who installed it in the first place. Sounds to me like if there was any fault, it would lie with them (Not Stillen).

Fire · 05-26-2011, 02:57 PM

I've had sim. experience with Stillen. Some good some not. Overall I still order from them and get good service when things go right. Seems that they come out bad when there is a problem. Mine is with the side skirts. They do not fit on a vert but I still lost money on the return. They where not painted or altered but I payed a restocking fee. Hopefully not restocked into the vert section. I have not seen anybody post on here that Stillen skirts fit thier vert without modification. As for the good I have ordered and recieved many good products. One thing is that they should review orders. I ordered the eibach rear camber arms and a seperate toe bolt kit. The toe kit cost about $50 and is not needed as they are in the camber arm kit. I did not notice the listing of the kit that had the toe bolts listed. A quick e-mail to me asking if I really needed the extra kit would have been nice. Anyhow that is my two cents.
