2k13 Nismo

omm370z · 07-09-2012, 08:09 PM

So...

After driving for like 2 years a 2005 350z base model With Stillen SC stg. 4, i decided to say goodbye to that awesome car. This was 5 speed auto. I bought this not new with 28k miles on it.

Well, this happened on feb 02 this year.

On March with no key in my pocket i said nismo time!. I took my phone and called from Lima to the US to pre-ordered a NEW 2013 Nismo lol don't even know what number will be

It's been already 5 months since the first time i did the 1st call. It is suppose that mid of July the 2013 arrives from Japan to the Us and it will be delivered to BP (My dealer) on the 1st week of August.

From just buying a car i ended modifying alot...

My Z will be packed with:

FROM NISSAN

2013
Pearl White
Standard “Nismo” Package
Illuminated Kick Plates
Carpeted Trunk Mat
Nismo Carpeted Floor Mats
Illuminated Ash Cup
Wheel looks

FROM AMUSE

Full Vestito Kit + CF lip + CF wing
Titanium Brace Bar T2
Custom Titanium R1 Silent Front Pipe Nismo Spec
Custom Titanium Extra STTI with B Tail + Gold ring

FROM BERK TECHNOLOGY

HFC

FROM AE PERFORMANCE

Oil Cooler

FROM ENDLESS

Mono 6 Anodized Blue Caliper and Anodized Blue Rotor Hats

FROM MCR

Red Tow Hook

FROM NISMO

Valve Stem Cap Set
S-Tune Oil FillerCap

FROM SUNLINE RACING

CF Roof Cover Gloss finish

FROM STILLEN

G3

FROM HKS
HYPERMAX 3

FROM TOMMY KAIRA

Heavy Baby Shift Knob
Rear Fog Lamp

FROM VOLK

TE37SL Bronze 19x9.5 +22 - 19x10.5 +12

FROM ZELE

Radiator Shroud
CF B Pillar Cover

My Tuned Z will arrive in September. Can't think about the Z because time is poison...

Now that you read this maybe you will be asking yourself why the **** all this for and why not i haven't touch the engine for more power???

Let me tell you:

1st. The 350z that i had was the 1st powerful car with over 43x hp but it was auto...was really fun but tasteless and boring

2nd I can't just add a TT to deal with 600HP RWP (i want it...) on this nismo because i never drove a manual sport car beside an eclipse 3.8 GT 08'

3rd I must know my car first before adding more power.

4th Another reason is the taxes here. You guys are really lucky somehow because when you import anything auto part from the US i gotta add 43%+18% over those numbers. Beside this my currency is almost 3 times which means $ 1.00 = S/. 2.68. So when the car arrives to the port everything will be installed and no extra cost. (27% more of taxes based on the invoce)

I got 2 questions that roams my head

1. Is really necessary to get an oil cooler for my Z??? This car going to be a street daily driving. I was going to pick the Ae cooler but they said it is not for sale anymore

2. I chose the stillen G3 but i could change my mind to get the Super Induction Titanium Kit w/ Carbon Shroud and Suction Pipe from Top secret. Don't know if spending like 2 grand for 2 pieces of tubes will improve something comparing the G3.

Haven't decide what suspension get (I must have 5.9 inches height because of the stupid speed bumpers)

This is for now, i will post pics later

Tell me what you think

PLEASE If you wanna give me an advice go ahead

If you gonna troll this better keep it to yourself.

Re: oil-cooler. Do you plan on taking the car to the track...at all?
If so, go ahead with the oil cooler. You'll need it.

For normal street driving, you can likely deal without it. What are the high-end ambient temperatures where you are?

Well, mostly this will be a daily driving but if i could of do some laps with the Z. The temp here is 57 F° winter - 89 F° summer, depends...but yeah.

Right now is between 65 ~ 72 F°.

I don't have much pics atm but BP sent me some of what arrived the past week, so i don't mind to share them with you all.

No more for now.

Hi

TerribleONE · 07-10-2012, 10:22 AM

nice list of parts

theDreamer · 07-10-2012, 10:26 AM

Nice list and welcome.
One question, why did you get the Nismo and then decide to rip off the OEM kit and put the Amuse kit on? Could have saved some cash and gotten a coupe with a manual.

TerribleONE · 07-10-2012, 10:27 AM

KaienZ34 · 07-10-2012, 10:28 AM

What are you doing with the stock nismo bodykit since you are going with the amuse bodykit??

theDreamer · 07-10-2012, 10:30 AM

On the suspension, the Amuse kit sits about 1.5" lower than the OEM kit so you will not be able to do much a drop with your speed bumps. Though many kits from TEIN/KW/etc. will allow a mild drop while providing a quality upgrade.
The intakes, tough choice, the TS intakes do provide a solid performance increase but for 2k they can be very pricey. Honest opinion, coming from someone who has gone through numerous intake options. If you plan to go forced induction skip them all, or at the most do some K&N filters for right now. The money will be better invested in waiting for your forced induction kit in the future.
