So, first up on the list was a used ARK Grip V2 purchased from Torqen. It's well known these don't fit a Nismo V2 without work, so that's quietly waiting to go on

Nice to finally meet you, Olly!

Couple of things, just for clarity:

- the exhaust was purchased from myself, privately, not from TORQEN  

- the exhaust fits any 370z, from 2009 to 2022, including MK1 and MK2 Nismo as the cars are structurally identical. However, it sits a bit hidden in the Nismo bumpers, therefore if that bothers, the tip can be cut off and extended with some 2.5" SS pipe. 

Hope this helps!

Does look a good buy, but I would suggest it would be good to add some interior/boot pics to help your sale 😉  

Go on, Colin... 😁

That being said though, we did take some random path, then ended up climbing near enough vertically in a boggy marsh  Once we got back onto the Ranger path and actually climbed, the wind was INSANE. Had to talk my mates out of backing out at least 4 times. 

At least you didn't call it a "mountain"... Some of us climbed Mount Blanc on Saturday, just saying ... 😘

It doesn't hurt to change the oil, but according to Nissan you don't need to. On a NA car I wouldn't bother under 100,000 miles. If you're building a FI car, you will need to upgrade the 7AT box anyway, therefore you can change the oil at the time. 

The car we're building now it's a Nismo MK2 6MT, so manual, yes. 

To conclude, IMHO 370z with 7AT being undesirable and more costly to service it's just a myth. I love the gearbox, I had two with 7AT, one still here in the warehouse, next to the DEMO 370z in 6MT.

Compared to the manual the automatic requires more oil i think around 9 litres. fluids alone will cost around £150 to £200+ depending on what you use. Then the labour required is about 2 to 3 hours. Indie garages now charge dealership prices citing Covid and cost of survival......I was quoted £500 compared to the manual gearbox oil change which needs less than half the amount of oil (about 3 litres or so). It would probably be around £250 to change that. When you chuck in the diff looking at around £700 excluding standard service.

 

I was going to do it if i was keeping the car. 

Will check the service manual in the morning, but from what I remember, unless you need to take the 7AT box apart, the oil is lifetime, doesn’t require to change it.

The gearbox is not sluggish, you can however adjust the torque tables and make it change gears slightly faster, UpRev and EcuTek both have this. 
 

The only 7AT gearbox I ever heard to fail in all these years was mine while on a dyno of a tuner that didn’t have a clue what he was doing. The 370z just had a GReddy TwinTurbo fitted at the time and he didn’t have the latest update on UpRev for my particular ECU. It was only after I asked UpRev directly and send them my ECU details they added the option for the torque tables to be mapped. To cut the story short, nothing to do with the gearbox itself. 
 

The 7AT 370z are actually faster than 6MT as well. They are super reliable even if you push them to max on a NA car. If you build a twin turbo car for instance, you can upgrade the torque converter and the valve bodies and you can safely do 1000BHP on this gearbox.

Automatics are less desired and cost more to service the gearbox.

Source of this please?

Let’s remember these exhausts were designed way before Nismo 370z MK1 or MK2 came out, for the standard 370z. 
 

For the Nismo, best fitment would be the 5” tips. The Ark uses 4”, so you may want to cut the existing tips and add some 2.5” tube to make them longer or replace with 5” tails, which would be better design IMO, you can always change the tips to a different style etc.

Yea, it does.

We have Nismo oil filler , coolant tank caps and fuel filler caps in stock.

We've put together a kit for those wanting to fix the rear axle click on Nissan 370z. Plently of videos on youtube on how to do it.

Moved from Watford to Pitstone. I'm like in a holiday resort, absolutely loving it! 

Sold to Olly, pending payment and collection. 

Supercharger or turbo to get past the 400bhp mark. NA is terribly expensive and not going to get more than 20-30bhp. 

Any new projects yet? 🍿

Some official photos as well, in batches.
