Nissan 370Z Forum  

Z1 370z is here.

The front isn't too low. The rear is too high.

Interesting to see. It looks like the sports pack will see less power at the wheels thanks to the extra effort to spin up the 19" wheels and 14" rotors. A base was dynoed slightly higher.

Makes sense.

How can you not enjoy such a flat torque curve? One of the many reasons why the VQ37VHR is superior to the DE is because it has a much flatter torque curve. Sure, peak torque numbers aren't really up significantly, but on the low-end and top-end, torque has a significant increase over the DE. Which is why it has higher hp numbers.

We used a combo I have the fronts taken back apart right now. And just installed a Nismo intake so maybe we will dyno again tonight. And yes the drop is too low we had to remove the front flaps before driving it out of the shop. Much more to come.

I will keep you guys informed as we go.

Beautiful, not a fan of the chrome wheels but looks great overall...

Look forward to seeing where you go with it.

Nismo intake? Where did this come from? The 350Z Nismo intake?

Yeah I agree that the front is way low but I actually really love the rake, looks like old school cars should, well since this is practically retro-styled to tht 240z

I can enjoy a flat curve when it plateaus at a higher number. Yes, when you compare it to the old car, or a honda civic for that matter, it is a great curve. But in the bigger scope of things, that is still 237wtq. I would have liked more torque.
