2010 Nissan 370Z PW NISMO #519 - Mod/Dyno Thread

[Rogue370z]

2010 Nissan 370Z Pearl White NISMO #519

I am a diehard Z owner since 2002.

Previous Projects:
07 350Z Roadster
03 350Z Coupe

I will be updating this thread over time with pictures/videos of the modification history of NISMO including dyno info.

Completed Mod list:
8/12/10 - 10" Powered Bazooka Tube
8/12/10 - Window Tint - 50% Front/20% Side and Rear
8/14/10 - Passport 8500
8/14/10 - Mikes Mount for Passport Radar
8/29/10 - Passport 8500 hardwired with Laser Shifter ZR3
9/04/10 - Powdercoated STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit
9/04/10 - Powdercoated BRAKES

Dyno History:
08/12/10 - Baseline Dyno - 283.7 rwhp - Dyno Dynamics
08/13/10 - Baseline Dyno - 281.2 rwhp - Dyno Jet

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.

Thanks kcl! Good to know it is in line with other NISMOs. Have you done any performance mods yet looking for more hp?

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....

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

But congrats on a good baseline, 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.

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.
