We will see. Once I have the kit on and take it to the track, I'll report back. Their S2k gt1 kit put a huge smile on my face

With all your knowledge and experience you should be working for nascar or a F1 team helping develope their body designs for down force. I cant believe you actually think a body kit made that big of a difference on your s2k (which is a convertable small a$$ car made for women). You come across as someone in a honda civic with a big homemade aluminum wing twice the size of your car. ![]() Last edited by Rooskey; 08-13-2011 at 12:04 AM. |

![]() You are one highly calibrated machine. Are you also able to tell exactly how many lbs of downforce you'll be making as well?? |

This is the Amuse body kit:
![]() You add a big wing when the car had none, front and rear diffusers, and canards. Since it's a widebody kit, you also can run a lot more rubber under the fenders. Overall it makes a big difference on the S2000. The factory S2000 produces lift at any speed, and the CR doesn't do near what the NISMO package did for aero. So for the S2000, yes, the Amuse kit would make a big difference. |

WOW... there is some misinformation in this thread.
1. The Amuse body kit IS wind tunnel tested; Amuse does that will ALL their body kits. It is at the very least as good as the Nismo aero. Aside from all the different day/different driving arguments, judging from how it lapped Tsukba at 1:04 and change as compared to the Nismo 1:06, I'd say their did their homework well. 2. The Nismo engine is NOT drastically different from the base 370Z's. The ONLY things different is the catback (H pipe vs Y pipe for the standard Zs), and the tune on the Nismo. Also bear in mind that some of that extra grunt comes from the Nismo's power being taken at a higher RPM over the standard Zs. It has been shown time and again, a base+sport tuned Z34 can hang with if not best the Nismo (the majority of the time it is besting the Nismo). If the OP is conflicted on the matter, do some more checking on the Amuse Z; it is badder than the Nismo by far from a performance perspective. You will have to pay the cost of the Nismo, then tune on top of that to match its performance. In the end, you will come out close in how much you have spent. I will say that I like the Nismos look better than the Amuse Z34 however....... (flame suit on). |

Well if anyone with a Nismo decides to get the Amuse front, I'll buy your Nismo front

hi i am sunil rana.this is very good site.
A lucky Nismo 370Z owner in Japan had Amuse whip up a one-off custom exhaust trading off the usual twin parallel mufflers for FOUR independent R1 type mufflers. They had to throw a little body language onto those tips to angle them into the tight spacing of this Nismo Z rear bumper. thanks for sharing good information. pc wallpapers |
