nub Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited June 16, 2017 by nub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanjuke Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nub Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 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.

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.

Wayne370Z Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think it would look good with some nice after market wheels and, also, people wouldn't be wondering why a Nismo has got standard 370 wheels on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £1000+ they are not a bargain, they are a mega super steal, buy them now! Nissan sells them for: Front: £1178.66 + VAT = £1,414.39ea Rear: £1256.86 + VAT = £1,508.23ea =============== Total = £5845.24 without tyres.

Jetpilot Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 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.

Payco Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yep mine for sale Aug 10th but forum rules state I can't advertise without an official for sale ad so I am behaving until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nub Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 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‘🻠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?

nub Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) 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.

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.

nub Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 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!
