  1. The 370z is having a few upgrade now after the silverstone track day -

     

    1. Nitron is helping us to get the setup optimise, so they took the suspension kit back and giving us new Springs rate and damper rate to test after our initial report to them

    2. Carbonetic is sending new Carbon plate for the diff to try different setup

    3. Abbey Motorsports Rear diff cooler Ordered

    4. ACT Racing Clutch and lightweight flywheel is going in

     

    Should be fun when everything back together

     

    Anyway here is a New video from Silverstone GP Track day last month -

  2. Hey Guys, thanks for all the photos and video.

     

    Sorry I didn't get much time to speak to you guys as I had a long queue that wanna be my passenger so I had to drive for whole day.

     

    The guy with the 370 were looking for you guys in the afternoon to give you guy a passenger lap but he said he couldn't find you guys.

     

    Yeah Mark the car performed well at Silverstone, loads of torque and engine never miss a beat. I gonna work out some video and post it up later in the week.

     

    Hopefully next track day will be warmer and less busy so both the 370z and I can take you guys out for a few lap.

     

    Here I have a short clip when the DB9 spun in front of us -

     

  3. Good to got the car mapped today and the result is impressive.

     

    Stock car is pulling 293whp and with just out exhaust upgrade before the map it already pulling 306whp. So a good 13whp or 20bhp ish more just by changing our exhaust system

     

    After remap we got 324.3whp and been told we are the highest bhp 370z in the country with just bolt on exhaust modded.

     

    Torque is even more impressive gain 25lb/ft at 2500rpm and all the way until the rev cut. Car drive much aggressive after the remap and Mark from Abbey is well impressed by it.

     

    I will have the video and photos ready to upload here in a few days time. Come back later for update

     

    Thanks to Mark for the help in remap, they are really professional at this. Very impressive service.

  4. Yeah the kit will get it wrap up in chrome as well within the next 2 weeks. There will be a lot more going into this car.

     

    Here is a few lap of me chasing the 370z yesterday at Rockingham, the 370z is driven by this year Asian Touring car champion with the car equipped with the same Dixcel and Nitron like my S2000 I just couldn't keep up with him.

     

     

     

  5. Hey All, we are lucky enough to help one of our customer to build a brand new 370z to be a track car. As soon as the car come in my customer wasn't very keen on the standard look of the car, so we ordered a full Shine Auto A Style bodykit for the car, they are very similar to the Amuse kit and quality of the kit and carbon is just identical and wrapped in Chrome.

    This project will be a on going project and it will probably turn into a race car at the end.

     

    The first thing we wanna focus is to first get the handling right, after looking at all the available brand on the market, we realise nothing is really up to the standard so I gave my friend who work in Nitron Racing a call and see if they can have something design for me.

     

    Most of you may know Nitron if you are into racing or motorbike, they are just on par with Ohlins but because of UK based company is just a lot easier to communicate and customise for our need

     

    So here is the day we took the car to Nitron Racing -

     

     

     

     

    526168_437434312934393_372583176_n.jpg

     

    And after 3 weeks of design and test here is what we got -

     

    Look how beautiful is this kit - Nitron 2 way adjustable coilover with separate height and springs preload adjustment. This is the World First Nitron Kit for the 370z.

    Ride Height setup and Alignment -

     

    599867_443963148984265_1428619779_n.jpg

     

    Next when the Suspension is sorted, we want to get the brake upgrade as the stock brake system is just too soft and weak. And because of our customer is a Formula car champion so his expectation is high. We choose the best available on the market for him which is the Dixcel FCR Carbon slotted disk with the Dixcel Type Z carbon pad and now he said the braking performance is even better than his Formula race car!

    536419_443196102394303_2103247202_n.jpg

     

    Also the additional of Bride bucket seat to keep him stop sliding around in the car

    417122_443195869060993_559561663_n.jpg

     

    Next is the interesting bit, the exhaust system will need to upgrade and after he seen the quality of our exhaust system to made for the S2000, he have asked us to make him one for the 370z, BUT in Titanium!!

     

    If you wanna see the one we made for the S2000, here is the video -

     

     

    So we got the car in a start stipped the whole system -

     

    Standard manifold with only 1.5 inch OD

     

    176612_443180835729163_1262929299_o.jpg

    536411_443186742395239_617317067_n.jpg

     

    And here is our full Titanium exhaust system - OEM system is about 20KG, our system is under 8KG and it sound amazing.
