  1. Hi all, Today we're also launching the 350z & 370z TORQEN x CoolerWorx PRO Short Shifter – a masterpiece of engineering for your Nissan 350z / 370z - exclusively available worldwide at TORQEN. Experience a new level of precision when shifting gears with the TORQEN x CoolerWorx PRO Short Shifter, exclusively available worlwide at TORQEN. This Limited Edition performance part, a result of our collaboration with renowned short shifter manufacturer CoolerWorx, is designed for the discerning sports car owner who values quality, exclusivity and performance. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide – 25 for the 350z and 25 for the 370z – this short shifter is not just another car part, but a statement. Each piece is carefully crafted, featuring an anodised red and black colour scheme that is as striking as it is unique. This PRO version is a brand new product that has a longer handle than the standard version, anti rattle bottom pin and a self centring spring which gives a solid feeling. The gear knob cap, adorned in a anodised red, proudly displays for the first time ever the engraved shift pattern within a black knurled gear knob. The base plate is anodised in Crimson red, complements the bigger and lightweight pull-up ring, creating a harmonious and eye-catching design. The handle, anodised in a sleek black, adds a touch of sophistication to this high-quality short shifter. But the TORQEN x CoolerWorx PRO Short Shifter is not just about aesthetics. It's about giving you control and enhancing your driving experience, featuring 40% shorter throw between gears, allowing you to switch between gears much much faster! The short shifter is also mounted directly to chassis as opposed to OEM shifter which is mounted to gearbox, giving you much stiffer and better shifting experience. It's also a testament to the craftsmanship and quality that CoolerWorx and TORQEN bring to the world of Japanese performance parts. Each shifter comes in a special box, carefully crafted for this limited edition. In the box you will find all the necessary parts required to install it on your 350z or 370z, including a printed version of the installation manual. The TORQEN x CoolerWorx PRO Short Shifters are limited edition and once sold out, it will never be sold again in the future.

  3. I flew in by helicopter, but that's another story for another time. 🤣 @Coz@TORQEN still hates me for not taking him with me on that occasion. 🤓 That being said, having attended SEMA 7 times and Tokyo Auto Salon 3 times it's very difficult to class any other events in UK being better than that, the standard is very high in both USA and Japan shows, so I simply don't go to any of the shows in UK anymore.
  4. 🙄 I see you're still moaning about everything happening in this world! 🤣 😘

  6. Could be worse, like buying a Porsche 😭
  7. I'll be the odd one out, auto for me with the mapping done on the gearbox so it's a bit more responsive.

  9. Yes, just slide the seats all the way to the front. 5 minutes job each seat once you added the 3M tape.
  10. Would you like a quote for the same sizes or 19”? We went 20” as we have the TORQEN XTREME brakes.
  11. Hi all, Some of you have already seen our 370z TORQEN DEMO car, but for the others that haven't, we're beyond thrilled to bring you the first look at TORQEN's DEMO car – a 2017 Nissan 370z NISMO MK2 that we've been working on for the last few months. This vehicle represents the epitome of our dedication, passion and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of Z potential! As you know, the 370z NISMO is already a phenomenal vehicle right out of the box, but we decided to crank up the notch, transform it into a true masterpiece, and showcase what TORQEN is all about. Let's talk specifics – this 370Z isn't your typical 370Z NISMO. We have not left a stone unturned and have added a plethora of premium TORQEN and select aftermarket mods that are sure to make every Z owner drool! Right? Starting with the performance, we've enhanced the stopping power with the TORQEN XTREME Big Brake Kit and unlocked some more ponies with TORQEN's ZORST Full exhaust system, TORQEN High Flow Cats and a Z1 cold air intake. Now, onto the aesthetics and aerodynamics, the car has received a complete carbon-fiber makeover, courtesy of TORQEN's Carbon front wings, bonnet, rear wing, front bumper lip, and side skirts, mirror covers. The front and rear bumpers have also received a partial carbon treatment to perfectly blend with the entire setup. The carbon addition doesn't stop here! The engine bay flaunts a TORQEN Carbon engine cover and Titanium engine bay bolts. Lighting has been taken care of by TORQEN Headlights and TailZ tailights, with additional Front wings side repeaters providing that extra flair. Underneath, we've fitted a TORQEN Undertray for enhanced airflow. Inside the cockpit, you'll find a sleek RealJapan red Carbon steering wheel and a RaceSeng Gear knob. We have a surprise in store in terms of the gear shifter, more on that and the hand brake soon! The suspension has been upgraded to K-Sport Super Sport true coilovers, perfectly complemented by Kinetix front and rear camber arms, ISR toe arms, Kinetix traction arms, and Whiteline antiroll bars for that perfect stance and superior handling. In short, this DEMO car is not just a build; it's a labour of love and a testament to TORQEN's dedication to Z enthusiasts. We've successfully completed the first stage of our 2017 Nissan 370z NISMO DEMO build we're thrilled to say - this Z has already become a unique beast on its own. But as they say, "the best is yet to come!" Now that we've laid down a solid foundation, it's time to venture into the performance realm for our 2nd stage of upgrades. We're super excited to announce that the next set of mods will focus on enhancing the core of this beauty - its heart, the VQ37 engine. We're going to start with internal reinforcements to handle the added power and improve reliability. The lineup includes Eagle Nissan VQ37 H Beam Rod Set, Wiseco Nissan VQ37 1.198inch CH -15.5cc R/Dome 9:1 Piston Shelf Stock Kit, 370z ARP High Tensile Strength L19 Head Bolt Stud Kit, 370z Boundary Oil Pump Gears, and 370z Z34 ARP Main Bolt Stud Kit, 370z Nissan OEM Engine Repair Kit and the super-proven TORQEN Complete Timing Chain Kit. For the ignition tweaks we'll be utilizing the trusted HKS Nissan/Infinity VQ35/37HR M-Series Spark Plugs (One Step Colder). But that's not it! We're also upgrading the cooling system with a 370z TORQEN Heavy Duty Water Pump and a 370z Nissan OEM Thermostat to keep temperatures under control, followed by a special oil cooler kit developed in partnership with Laminova. To ensure we feed this hungry beast, an Aeromotive 450lph In-Tank Fuel Pump and Injector Dynamics 1340cc Injectors-48mm Length-14mm Grey Top-14mm L O-Ring will be installed, running through a CJM S1.SE 370z fuel return system and top hat. Finally, the torque will be transmitted to the wheels through a 370z OS Giken Triple Plate Clutch Kit - R3C Billet Aluminium Cover, and an OS Giken LSD spec-X with 1.5-way 35/55-224 kg setting to maintain that grip and driveability, with super fast activation. We believe these mods will take this already beastly 370z NISMO to a whole new level of performance! So, buckle up and stay tuned because the fun is only just beginning. As we continue to test, tweak, and optimise this build, we look forward to sharing our journey and receiving your valuable input.
