Do you remember where you bought it ? I know you preferred the original GT metal grey colour and we all have different opinions but do you still think the same having seen them matte black? I won't be offend 😀 but I think it looks much better, a bit of tyre shine will blend in better. I am absolutely pleased with them over the previous colour!

Ah yes I remember you saying. It first really bother me but I can imagine it might look better. Do you mean this section ? I've also went and bought a bloody nismo spoiler as well, if I didn't mention already. And some 25mm spacers, I need another set for the rear I was thinking 30mm. Z1 CAI getting fitted with Stillen oil and steering coolers then ECUtek remap @ Abbey on the 4th July

Ok I changed my wheels from the gun metal silver on GT Editions to matte black. I think matte black suites the colour scheme much better now with the nismo red the GT vinyl is off, although I think that looked great as standard.

I've got some crappy pics and the wheels are not captured well with my iPhone in the shadow of the sun, but will get better pics. I think I prefer them to nismo wheels

Added better pics.

Hi All!

 

Just got my Z about two months ago, came with an Ark Grip already on it. I was thinking to ad the cobra HFC also, would there be anything else i should buy along side this?

 

Cheers.

It simply depends how far you want to go really. How fast and how much you're willing to spend. Assuming the rest of the car is stock, any HFC should free up some power and the volume of your exhaust will increase. I personally have the same Ark Grip exhaust but with ART decats. You could then add a cold air induction kit for more power but at that point I think you should be getting a remap IMO which will give you even more power, perhaps over 350bhp

I guess you couldn't courier the tyres? I need a set on the back but can't decide on those or AD08s again. Or is there already and upgraded version of the tyres MPSS4s or something?

Ah thanks. Funny how EBay never shows them when I've been search anything nismo the last few weeks lol.

 

 

It does, search for 370z nismo wheels - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC2.A0.H0.X370z+nismo+wheels.TRS0&_nkw=370z+nismo+wheels&_sacat=0

I'm not questioning the value or how rare they are, but I think you'll be waiting a long to to sell at that price

I just think those alloys alone might to appeal to one with a regular Z, unless they have the kit fitted like I have.

In the future there's a few aftermarket wheels I'd like, in flat black. But for now I'm just refurbing my own, even that is costing me £105 per wheel, which is on the high end! It'll do for now, but can I resist a mk2 nismo spoiler ? I'm sure someone told me it's straight swap, was it you ?

As above, the differences aren't huge but I want the spoiler finish my kit. Surely people have done this? Pics for reference, where I've asked the same question on FB

I will make a separate topic

I also want to know if the mk2 nismo spoiler is a bolt on to a regular 370Z?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ok I see them now. They may be worth that and no doubt you have plenty of time to wait for a buyer but for now I'll stick with my refurbed stock wheels lol. But I have ordered a Z1 from you guys, I hope it arrive before July 3rd cause my car is booked then. And at Abbey on the 5th.

I doubt there will be some used ones for sale, they are work of art so you keep them on the wall even if you sold the car! :lol:

 

Jokes aside, plenty in stock if you decide to go for new.

 

You can always get them for free if you buy my Nismo v2 wheels!

As above there must be loads of these hanging around and with TORQENs group buy. Need front and rear set in perfect working order minimum 20mm ideally 25mm

Thanks

I don't even see Adrian's wheels for sale ?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Payco initially asked for £1200, which he realised was far far too cheap. But in reality I think I might be happier with the stock wheels in black.

And how much are you asking for Adrian?

Even at £1500, it might be a great deal but I can't imagine many people would pay for the wheels alone when they don't have the rest of the nismo kit. Feel free to advertise at your price and see how much interest you get 😊ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Normally the first mod would be a cat back and or HFC. That'll make the exhaust sound much better. I myself have a GT Edition 370z but I've put genuine nismo kit on it, so it looks similar to yours excluding the wheels and spoiler - and mine is white. I think they're the best looking car under 30 grand but it's once you start modifying them, they become considerably faster and sound much better. But if you want to strictly honour the warranty then you're limited. Personally I'd skill upgrade the exhaust system etc and swap back to OEM parts if it requires warranty work. But that's up to you

Great car abyway

cheers I WOULD BE HAPPY AT 370HP, but I would not want a lot of noise a nice v6 purr like a v8 sound would do me nicely.

IMO the best sounding exhaust setup is motordyne ART decat with Motordyne Shockwave exhaust. It will make more power, sounds real good and deep driving at low rpm, but then if you put your foot down it and redline it is so incredibly loud that every pedestrian and driver within 100m or more will turn around in shock at the sheer volume. Assuming you have neighbours nearby, cold starts will **** them off VERY quickly and you genuinely risk your car being vandalised. It does kinda sounds like a V8, a wide range of the frequencies coming out the exhaust, but kinda overwhelming, not in a bad way. I find that if my exhaust is too loud, subconsciously I become reluctant to drive it beyond 4000rpm or so but with my setup being considerably quieter I can have fun and redline it if I want without feeling too conscious that I'm attracting loads of attention.

You can simply search for driveby videos on YouTube to decide which exhaust you like the sound of and be aware that a decat or HFC will make any exhaust much louder. Motordyne cat back with stock cats would be perfect IMO, if only the stock cats were not so restrictive.

Needs the Nismo v2 wheels, too which I happen to have for sale :lol:

I was gonna buy them from another dude here. But im not even sure I like them enough to pay £1000 plus, only if it was a real bargain, but I know they're worth more than that. So unless you're selling them real cheap, I'd prefer to buy aftermarket wheels or refurb the OEMs matte black. I've always preferred flat black on my old Rays Gram lights, the nismo wheels are some kinda satin black I think, with a decent spoke design but in the sunlight the diamond cut edge kinda ruins it for me. If I saw them in person I might change my mind but I've seen plenty OEM refurbed black and I like the stealthy aggressive look more, and considering it's much cheaper.

For now I'm not considering larger TBs, or inlet manis as I don't know how it might affect throttle response at idle or any other issues there's not much info about it as not many go that far. Also the best and most free flowing exhausts are too loud with a decat. But I'd love to get my NA 370z closer to 400bhp. 370bhp would be great for now, as supposedly my car made around 350bhp with its previous UpRev map

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, a local friend of mine is 380bhp-390bhp. That's with CAI induction, 3" mexhaust, decat, a some race headers which I were designed for LHD cars, larger throttle bodies and a motordyne inlet mani. Modifying the jinheader to fit and then installing it is a real PITA and lots of labour but I guess that would gain 10bhp over stock alone.

If you google 370z Z1 400bhp kit you'll see they sell a kit that should get you up to 400bhp with their own modified inlet manifolds etc but i dunno if their fuel is better than ours.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a gt what gains do you get with an uprev,is it 10 -20 bhp

Do you mean on a stock car? Yes I would guess 10-15 bhp peak, maybe bigger increases in midrange and torque but I'm not sure. Most people remap with at least a cat back and or HFC and some kinda induction kit

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've have the following mods purchased to be fitted early July.

Z1 CAI induction

Stillen 25 row thermostatic oil cooler

Another Stillen cooler, I think it's for transmission or power steering ?

Alloys will be painted flat/matte black next week. Then also I need some spacers all round.

ECUtek remap with Abbey should be booked for early July. My Ark Grip has probably lost a few bhp over the Fast Intentions, but I've now got ART decat having removed FI HFC and will have the Z1 CAI. So hopefully I might hit 360bhp-+ or so 370bhp would be great. My previous UpRev map with only FI cat back and HFC made something like 340-350bhp. I think it was 304bhp at hubs ?

I'm also on the look out for a nismo spoiler if I can buy one at a reasonable price. It's not vastly different to the regular Z spoiler, but a bit more aggressive looking and finishes the kit, assuming it's a direct swap.
