Ollydykins Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hey guys, just got my first 350z nismo (without the body kit) and just after some general tips, as I can only read so much, and people always having different opinions, just thought I'd ask myself. Not a super mechanic so I don't know the whole ins & outs of the car, only had it 6 days and want to keep it in the best condition it can be, it has only done 51k miles, a Japanese import and 2003 plate, Thanks, Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Welcome aboard Olly. Doubt it's a Nismo model though sorry especially on that year and as they are rare as rocking horse poo in 350 guise. More likely someones just stickered/badged it up that way. NISMO R-Tune (2004)[edit] The R-Tune was introduced into the NISMO line-up with modifications including headers, cams, pulleys. The R-Tune voids the Nissan factory warranty,[citation needed] but gains significant horsepower, intended for track racers. NISMO S-Tune GT (2005)[edit] Modified Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO patrol car (Japan) The S-Tune GT was released by NISMO to celebrate its success in motorsport, particularly in the Super GT series. The S-Tune GT featured revised long nose bodywork as in the Type-E, a modified version of the VQ35DE engine called the S1 with more power (300 PS / 221 kW / 296 hp) and higher redline (7200 rpm), as well as a sportier NISMO suspension. 20 were produced each month in Japan. Although Nissan did not officially sell S-Tune in UK, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. imported 1 S-Tune GT to UK[15] NISMO 350Z (2007–2008)[edit] The Nismo edition of the Nissan 350Z Coupé debuted at New York International Auto Show on April 4, 2007. This version featured the same engine as the regular 350Z (VQ35HR) but was only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. The car featured NISMOaerodynamics package based on the Super GT championship car, which included an aggressive front fascia with chin spoiler, side skirts, an extended rear fascia with under body diffuser and a rear wing. The car also had NISMO-tuned independent multi-link suspension developed by Yamaha, Brembo brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers (with 12.8-inch (330 mm) front and 12.7-inch (320 mm) rear rotors) and NISMO-branded gunmetal grey RAYS alloy wheels (18x9-inch front and 19x10-inch rear with 245/40WR18 front, 265/35WR19 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires) and a NISMO-branded tuned exhaust. The conversion process for the Nismo 350Z began with a limited number of chassis being pulled from the assembly line to be sent to Nissan-tuner Autech to have structural seams hand-welded for greater body rigidity. This process made the Nismo 350Z a more capable track car than the other trim levels available at the time. The NISMO 350Z went on sale in the USA in July 2007 at Nissan dealers.[16][17] 1607 were produced for the 2007 and 2008 model years, and it was assumed that if there was a greater demand, more would be produced, limited to 10% of all 350Z sales. The NISMO model 350Z had a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $38,070 for the 2007 model year. Still get some pictures up when you can.

GMballistic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi there, yes my mistake, someone has out a nismo speedo, air filter, exhaust, and some other dibs and dabs!! anything I can do to keep it in tip top ? Nice at least to have a few Nismo bits on the Zed even if it's not a genuine Nismo. Check the oil regularly and follow the service schedule to make sure it's kept in good order. Service schedule here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/31110-service-schedule-for-a-350z/ Enjoy the Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
