Haha. Yes one day I'll show up with those exact mods demanding 333whp It's more the sound than anything. The ART decat pipes combined with the motordyne shockwave sound fantastic. I did my research before I bought the car and this is what I've determined. ARK GRIP probably sounds similar only quieter than the shockwave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries Mark, I hope I'm not getting you annoyed it's just I had my own ideas and this dude has the exact mods I plan to get. I guess I'll be booking my car in with you guys sometime next year and then we will see who is right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You've got the exact mod combo I want, Abbey keeps telling me anywhere near 333whp is impossible NA. Do you have any exhaust videos and dyno chart or a build thread as I'm very interested in everything you've done. As for your question, I'm guessing it's a centrifugal type which makes power as the Rpms climb unlike roots and twinscroll hence why it won't make loads of power or torque low down below 5000rpm as you say. I've only owned a 370z 5 days or so, so I'm unsure of all the superchargers available but I've had a roots charger on a FWD type R. Whilst making loads of power/torque at low rpm is great in the higher gears, say 4th onwards. In the lower gears having too much power will make at least the first 3 gears unusable (without boost limiting) as you'll be making more power/torque than the wheels can handle in terms of traction. You don't want to be pulling loads at 2000rpm in all the gears it you'll have to short shift your way up to avoid simply spinning the wheels all the time. The roots charger I had made good power and torque from 3000 onwards yet it was on the limits of traction in 2nd gear for that car/setup. As I say I've only owned this car a few days but I would guess sticking a roots or twinscroll on a 370z at high boost might give the RWD big traction issues. Even the centrifugal tyke should give some additional power and midrange and the 370z is not slow compared to my old 2.0 ltr NA 200bhp type R believe me, let alone your 333whp which you must have got used to by now! However the difference between your NA performance and a 500bhp 370z is that whether or not it has power below 5000rpm, when driven through the gears up to the redline you have super car performance, whereas right now you have quite a fast car BHP/tonne wise but not suoercar fast.

Thanks Mark, I know coming from the NA K20 which I eventually supercharged. Our best long tube CAI is made of silicone and makes a good 10-15 BHP over stock. But it's revving up to 8600k, I guess the engines and intakes are different. However I do expect decats to be a fair bit less restrictive than double high flow cats. I would ask what your expectations are there but I'm guessing you're reluctant to say . I personally think 10bhp surely, maybe not many map with decats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not saying you're an OAP mate but just because it's cheap for you, I would not say it's necessarily cheap for everyone! I'm 29 which I figured was old enough to stop being considered a very high risk to certain cars, I did not expect £800 to be the very cheapest I could find, my post code is good too. I don't believe the 370z is in a low insurance group, they know it's RWD and a young mans dream car so they try to prevent youngsters owning them. Granted, low 20s is high risk but I figured mid 20s to 30 might be a bit better. There must be plenty younger than me on here. However I hope, after my 1 years experience with this car the premiums will come down. My excess is very high too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also insurance is not necessarily cheap. I am 29 years old and some insurers would not even in sure me because it's RWD. Others required me to have been driving the car for at least 1 year first. I paid around £430 for a 340bhp civic type R but for the 370z, slightly newer and higher value it was around double this minimum over £800. I'm 29 and a sports car is considered high risk for be with 8 years NCB. Ok it's not maximum but seriously, must we be OAPs to insure and enjoy a sports car lol ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's not fast enough standard partly because it doesn't even make the claimed power. But I have come from a supercharged type R to an Uprev 370z, both the same BHP but the type R is much faster. I don't think it's so much of an issue in 09, but right now, the 328bhp in the heavy car is a bit slow and behind. Even a genuine 350-360 bhp would have made a big difference if possible within tolerances of the engine/emission etc. I don't mind the road noise but I notice it easily. And I have the GT Edition which I'm told has rectified this slightly? Stock exhaust too quiet. Gearchanges are good because of synchro rev but reverse engagement isn't natural for me (pressing down). The type R gearbox was much smoother but I still prefer the 370z overall. Perhaps the front end is too basic, 2015 nismo got it right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Btw what do people think of my dyno chart. BHP seems fine and linear but Should the torque not be smoother and a bit flatter ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd that the short stillen you're referring to or are you saying the Gen 3 also suffers heatsoak? Obviously the potential gains on a performance car depend on how effective the stock induction system is. On my old type R EP3 the best enclosed aftermarket system takes a cold feed from outside the top of the bonnet and with a larger diameter intake pipe (for increased air flow/volume and insulating that cold air from the heat of the engine bay. The concept is quite simple and that's on a 2.0 4 cylinder NA engine it is proven to give 10bhp or more alone on the engine. And I mean proven hundreds of times and the gains have been acknowledged and accepted years ago. So on this more powerful engine is there no induction system that can provide similar gains ? I know any short open come style will gain top end but suffer heatsoak, but the Gen 3 doesn't appear to be in such a position and when I saw it's design and claims I believed them. So are you saying the Gen 3 is also not really worth the money ? Are there any inductions kits, that like the exhausts where the proof of gains has been established and it's not just a controversial opinion? Bring more, colder and subsequently denser air in the engine and there should be gains. 10-20bhp does not seem unrealistic to me, unless of course the OEM system is already maxed out in this regard! I hope you're wrong because my car made 304whp with CBE, stock intake and high flow cats. So in my opinion, the addition of a stillen Gen 3 plus a decat should be worth at least 20bhp. On our Hondas even the best 200 cell high flow cat would lose at least 10bhp compared to a decat/test pipe. and the 370z has two cats instead of the Hondas -! The fact that type Rs Rev to 8600rpm may be why they respond so well to CAIs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^^ based on these pics I have made up my mind that flat black is what I want to go for. If I hadn't been told I wouldn't even realise they were shopped. I've already thanked you but thanks once again for saving me lots of time ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone tell me where else is there s market for 2nd hand 370z parts? I've joined the FB groups busy many of them are in the US. I don't see much on eBay either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, yeah I think spacers and refurb the wheels fiat black is the first thing I will do. It's hard to be patient, I wish I could do it all at once and buy the exhausts parts I need but I just need to save money for a few months ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Approx how many hours labour would it be to fit these ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Strudel your shops have been very useful and I'm pretty much decided on flat black. Do you have this picture without it being cropped ? So I've had it 3 whole days and really love it but I'm impatient to starts getting it how i want it. Even with my new 370z being 304whp (supposedly 340-345bhp) @ Abbey motorsport, my FN2 was still noticeably quicker and the extra torque on paper is negated by about 200KGs. Gearbox is close ratio and positive enough but no match for the FN2 slick changes. In other ways though it's a massive upgrade and just in another league, mods aside these are not in the same price bracket anyway. I appreciate the 370z because it looks and sounds good above all else. I think a CW fully mugen'd FN2 is one of the best looking cars on the road, but underneath it is a Honda Civic. As for mods I will hope to get it to around 360bhp with ECUtek and adding stillen G3 andART decats. As I've stated I've already determined what I feel the best exhaust combo is to make it sound epic. So I'll be swapping mine eventually when i see bits pop up. The plan one will be 2016 nismo bumpers and refurb the Rays flat black as soon as I can get more spare cash. I think lowering would make it look sportier too. And I know spacers are popular. Waiting for a dry day to try a 1st gear launch. It may be too cold though to get tyres up to temp. Aside from suspension, alloy colour and the side decal what other revisions were made on the manual GT edition ? https://vimeo.com/195895210 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can do, just don't go looking for my nudes Thank you. I've found you but it's ok you don't need to message me back. Of the last two images you posted, the last one; was it your version of flat/matts black? Because it's the one I prefer and looks like the Rays flat brack I know. The one before is similar but lighter. Could you just do one more and shop the wheels flat black on this following photo ? This was taken when it's not very bright but where's its sunny next I will try get a better photo from similar position and be very cheeky and ask you to do the same if you don't mind because it will give me 95% confidence in whether to refurb them or not. Thanks buddy 😀ðŸ‘🻠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bloody hell, I know photoshopping is s common thing but damn you're good and I didn't notice your first one before I posted. Can you PM me your Facebook info if you don't mind? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could just dip your rays matte black? See if you like it. (Or I can probs photoshop you some matte black Volk CE28Ns if you like). Yeah can you photoshop some matte black ? I think it might be hard to actually photoshop Matts black as it would look in natural light but I would love it if you did give it a try! The Rotas are matte/flat black and I think they look awesome. Also my Rays gram lights TA on my FN2 were my favourite and made me realise his i preferred flat black to gloss. I don't have any good pics you could use, also I'm seeing how putting rotas on there in place of JDM forged alloys would be controversial but they're good value and look great to me. I don't know if any of my pics would be useful to shop but try if you like I will try the online Rota wheel editor thing too. My aim is to get the car looking more aggressive, as I did wth my FN2. Tints helped a lot too and lowering springs (not an option right now) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fast intentions setup I have sounds pretty damned good, better than any other car I've had. But the 18" version would have been nicer and quieter. And of course my aim is Motordyne ART pipes and shockwave exhaust or Ark GRIP because that would be a proper finely tuned sound that I wouldn't mind revving all day. Of course with the iPhone mic it sounds poor anyway https://vimeo.com/195714225 The OEM Rays are ok but I would prefer them in flat black, but even then I feel other spoke designs may look more effective on this car. My favourite rays were volk ce28ns, not sure they'd suit this even if I were willing to buy them. It's nice to know they're forged but otherwise arguably irrelevant, some cast rotas may be lighter and unless tracking I think it's not essential to be forged. But controversial I know. Someone show me pics of them in matte black on a white 370, spacers might help too. 🤓 My funds aren't great just yet, boosting isn't a chance yet but if I didn't mention yet my plan was to get the 2016 nismo rear bumper and although it already looks/sounds decent Im a show off and appearance might be priority. It's going to depend what becomes available on here 2nd hand as I'd like to ECUtek remap with a stillen G3 one day too. Because although it feels more powerful and brutal at some of the rev range with more torque, ultimately it lacks the all out pace and momentum of my civic which was definitely faster but had a completely linear power curve and I think shorter gears. My 2nd gear in the civic would destroy the 370z i have no, but on the other hand the Z will launch better in 1st. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nvm I figured it out ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers guys. Can I connect my iPod somehow ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I said I'd do it, and I did. I sold my supercharged FN2 and picked it up today, a fat ass Nissan 370Z. Immaculate as far as I can tell and 16k miles. I would have settled for a regular one but I was happy to discover that the GT edition has revised suspension among other things. It's not quite got the pace of my Type R, which is superior in a number of ways. Yet this 370z is fundamentally in a different league to the civic and it's only the start of my project. I've researched a bit already and I know the best intake is stillen G3. Once I've got everything I will remap again. I want 260 if that's even possible NA! It has fast intentions 12" res cat back and high flow cats which eventually I'd like to swap for motordyne ART decat pipe and either motordyne shockwave or ARK GRIP. I figure they're very similar but the latter being quieter Those Helmholtz chamber things are key and if they're the same then the only difference is the ARK has additional silencers. I'd also like to know the value of my fast intentions cat back and high flow cat. The CBE has carbon silencers which look pretty cool. I'm prefer this setup over standard though. It's been napped at Abbey to 304bhp which I was told is around 340bhp? Eventually I'd like 2016 nismo bumpers and I really like the rotas in the pic below. I will add more pics when I can obviously, only just hit back tonight and I don't know how to do much on the car yet. I assume the wing mirrors fold in? Bose sounds good but no match for the high end system I had in my civic which may go back on one day. Still great for now though! The last pics is not my car just the alloys I like! Also love rolled burned tips. If anyone could estimate the value of my exhaust parts I'd appreciate it. I'm sure they're worth less than the ones I desire otherwise I'd happily swap. Other than here and EBay where else can I look for used 370 parts ? And what are the OEM alloys worth approx ? Thank you 😎😎😎ðŸ‘😎 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry here's the pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if these are sold by any UK distributors, or what the popularity and value is in GBP of these I've viewed a 370 with the two products on today and whilst I'm glad it's not standard, it's not the ideal combination I plan to get so I'd like to know the value compared to motordyne shockwave cat back and ART decats pipes which I've determined is the best sounding combo. I'm referring to 2nd hand values obviously but is one worth more than the other? Apart from the Helmholtz chambers, this HFC seems to be quiet a large straight resonator (see pic) so my guess is that this is one of the quietest options you can buy. Does anyone think a straight swap would to desirable to anyone. The carbon back boxes costan additional $300 too. I'd also consider the ARK GRIP. Are fast intentions quite rare if they're imported ? I'm asking this as I may buy a 370z next week I've placed s holding deposit but as for the exhausts i want I'd be reluctant in paying fułl price for any exhaust. It's also mapped at abbey.
