Dyno History:

I have completed two mods today a 10" Bazooka Tube from my closet (I have not used that in about 4 years - wonder if they still make them?) and window tint. The Bazooka tube is a short term solution to be used until I plan out my full stereo system. The window tint is required (at least for me). Now that I have few little things done it was time to start thinking about performance.

To start the project we must start at the beginning with the baseline dyno. I dropped into Forged Performance to accomplish this goal and Sharif was able to get the car on the dyno in short order.

Baseline dyno showed 283.7 on a very hot day. I am happy to have a starting point for the car especially on the "heartbreaker".

Keep an eye out for the next dyno in a couple of weeks for my STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit which by the way will be my first performance mod.

A couple of other things are in the works which I will post about after the mod day over Labor Day weekend hosted by Mike from the powdercoater.com.

not bad numbers

Thanks Mike. Don't know what other NISMO got stock on the heartbreaker; however it should be a really good start.

damn, 283 whp is pretty damn good on that dyno. Gives me an idea of what to hope for when I finally get around to dynoing mine.

What kind of exhaust will you be getting Jeremy? I know you can't help it....

can't wait to see what you have in store for your nismo, good luck!

Compared to past Zs I have owned, the NISMO is definitely starting out at the highest HP ever for a stock Z.

NISMO is fine for now. I don't think I will change any of the NISMO parts in the first year. I will be focusing on other aspects of the car.

Thank you! I need to start thinking of an overall plan. I do know this car will be much closer to the orange z than the green z because this car will be a driver and not a show car.

Stout numbers. Congrats on the purchase.

Depends what numbers they decided to put in the computer that day:shakes head:

But congrats on a good baseline:tup:, did you get a "Performance evaluation" while you were there?

I have never had a problem with the numbers from the dyno at Forged since they are lower than every other dyno I have ever put my car on.

No, I did do the Performace evaluation as it is a brand new car.

I am heading out to Z1 Motorsports today to see what parts they have for the 370z and what kind of pricing they get for installs.

Thanks John! I will be out to Z1 today between 2-3.

See you then.

Thank you John for your hospitality today. Got my baseline dyno done at Z1 Motorsports mading 281 on a dynojet.

I am exicted about Z1 Nationals on September24th - 26th and got some Motul RBF Brake fluid for the track day on Friday. Everyone should get registered for the track day and plan on making it out to the event.

/\ don't forget to pick up some good brake pads too.

interesting that you made less on the dynojet.
