This was a clean white Nismo Z34 that stopped by the other day for some love on the dyno. He had just finished installing his Stillen Gen3 intake system and felt like it was a good time to get it tuned with no additional mods planned in the immediate future. This car was LOUDD with the AAM Competition short tail axle back section and the Berk test pipes. Id venture to say it was about as loud as the EWG screaming on the 611whp PTE6266 Z we did a couple months ago, haha. Overall though the engine responded nicely to the tuning changes. We leaned out the AFR some, threw a little more timing at it, and we were able to get the low end torque up from the baseline by about 15wtq. These motors always offer buttery smooth power delivery and this one was no different. The weather during this tune was a little bit of an oddity. When we initially started it was sunny and about 60 degrees. When we were finishing up the power pulls the weather had dropped into the low 40's which I'm sure the Stillen intakes were loving the lower temperature. All said and done this particular Nismo made some great N/A power compared to some of the other bolt-on Z's and G's we have tuned!

I wonder if this is the guy wanting to buy my Akrapovic exhaust? Nice to see more Zs at your shop :)

DAN ALEX WHY MAN, No I'm parting out :(

You guys are super, Props Alex great work

HAHAHa I know this guy! My buddy from greenville. We met at a cars and coffee and naturally became friends as we have the same car except mine is black lol. he got some good gains tho im looking to tune mine soon.

We were just talking about this car in another thread! Great results. I dont think I have seen an NA 370 with that kind of torque.

Great gains to match the decibel level of the car LOL. I had a similar set up with Art Pipes and short tails. It sounded awesome, but I could not hear my self think on the highway and I got way more attention than I wanted!!!

Hes definitely a fan of loud he loves his exhaust setup. I personally think its a little too much in cabin drone. But to each their own. Ive tried to get him to join the forum here but hes not too interested in it...

Thanks man, I will catch up with you via email ASAP!

Thanks man, wish we coulda gotten to the drag strip with yours this year :). I told him you had a kicking deal on that Akrapovic and he seemed pretty intrigued.

Hope you've been enjoying life otherwise!

Super nice guy! Enjoyed having him hang out while we got the tuning done. Let us know if we can help with any UpRev love for your Z:tup:

Todd has had a lot of opportunity to play with different VVEL settings and this one responded very nicely to the changes made. I think we picked up almost 20tq in some areas over his baseline.

Lol yeah its loud but these VQ37 sound good pretty much no matter what! :tup:

Hey Alex Just FYI sent someone your way he bought my mirror caps, LOL we talked about tuning he called you and made an APT for the 11th next month, They are driving over from TN!! :)

Do you guys have a baseline?

That's from a 2009 370z we did a baseline on before he installed his Boosted Performance turbo kit. This car only had a Fast Intentions catback exhaust and the temperatures were pretty similar between the two cars.

obviously different cars different days but yeah, this particular nismo responded very nice to the mods that it had :tup:.
