there's a good reason for that. (wind tunnel tested aero)

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

Lol, you guys are funny. Anyways, I don't really care to explain since you guys seem to know more than anyone else! Good for you.

if the amuse kit can get 150lbs downforce, i will cut my **** off

If you swap your bodykit I would buy the nismo rear bumper from you.

Now this tune on the Nismos includes the VVEL as well? Making our cars put out better numbers over the standard 370s from stock and after an uprev. I thought i read that on here awhile back. Correct me if am wrong.

on a side note. I drove both models back to back b4 i bought. the nismo just felt like alot more car. Im sure it had little to do w our aero package and exhaust. Im sorta convinced its gotta have something to with a slight tweak of the vvel..what do you guys think or know? I need an refresh on things.

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).

Downforce is the new jDm MadTytE power mod

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

sunilrana519 · 09-26-2011, 05:33 AM

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.

You could wait until an E92 M3 depreciates enough for you to afford one (...)
