Hello! I’m a newbie here and looking for advice. I have a 2011 370z and want to upgrade the performance. I have £2k to play with. Can you advise the best mods? Is it a new exhaust, intake or what? 

 

Thank you.

New exhaust, there’s plenty to choose from and I’m sure you’ll get lots of suggestions. Drop in filters are fine, unless you specifically want an intake (for looks).  Uprev or Ecutek to allow fine tuning of the mods. That’s probably it tbh, you won’t get much increase in performance without going forced induction which will cost a lot more

Welcome.Take your time and trawl the threads on here and the US forums.I would go for an Ark Dual grip exhaust and drop in filters or Stillen Gen 3s and then a ecutek remap. But that’s me.

Thanks for the reply. How much would forced induction cost? If it’s worth it, i’d happily wait and save a bit more :)

Couldn’t say an exact price, there’s quite a few people on here who’ve done it so hopefully they’ll chip in and give you more details, but I’d say you’re looking at 4 or 5 times you’re current budget to do it properly with all the supporting mods like brakes, suspension etc

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

For a £2k budget:

 

Exhaust

https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/exhausts/exhaust-systems/1939-370z-ark-grip-cat-back-exhaust-sm0901-0209g.html  - currently 20% OFF

or

https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/exhausts/exhaust-systems/1937-370z-invidia-gemini-cat-back-exhaust-system-hs09n7zgis.html

 

High Flow Cats - 20% - in production, 4-8 weeks to arrive, a few places left for the 370z.

 

 Intake system

Option 1

https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/intakes/intakes-system/1331-370z-stillen-generation-3-ultra-long-tube-dual-intake-kit-with-dry-filters-402852df.html

 

or if you want just filters and silicone hoses, plenty in stock, see here:

 

Option 2

https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/intakes/filters/1322-370z-hks-super-hybrid-filter-2-piece-set-70017-an004.html

and

In case you decide for the 2nd option, you should have funds left for EcuTek remap Horsham Developments, license and dyno time.

 

Forced induction it's an expensive adventure, starts very roughly from about £8k for the kit + £3,500 installation and tuning for supercharging, or £10k for the kit and £4k-£5k for installation and tuning. Plenty of surpercharged 370z in UK, only 1 twin turbo 370z in UK as far as I know, let me know if you need further info on this. 

 

Any questions, ask here or via PM. Hope this helps.

Helpful advice above. Will try a new intake and filters for starters. Then a remap.

 

A friend (who was trying to be helpful I'm sure) was saying there's stricter rules about what you're allowed to do to your car this year. Is any of the above affected by these (if true)?

Only relates to emissions equipment (ie the cats) and the MOT, and it simply says that anything fitted by the manufacturer must not be missing, obviously modified or defective. 

 

Read it strictly and anything other than OEM cats are a clear fail, but common sense says that aftermarket replacements will be fine.

If you want the best for your money then use a stock intake setup. I say that as I reverted to stock HKS hybrid filters and silicone hoses etc I’m selling a Z1 CAI for £250 but to be honest , just like the Stillen G3 it’s not really doing anything other than making an induction note. You might get 1-2 at the peak but lose it further down so I wouldn’t bother. 

You can buy one of the cheaper exhausts like cobra and a HFC. Buy one used if you can and save money. 2.5” or higher gives better gains. Then you should make something like 350bhp, if you do go HFC or decats  just make sure it’s one of the quieter cat backs. I’ve got an ART decat Pipes with an Ark Grip and there’s no drone whatsoever but they’ve both got special resonators on them. so I’ve got 4x helmholtz resonators. Supercharging then you might as well look at other cars really.
