2009 Nissan 370z Amuse Stage 2 GTM SC

definitionxmk · 08-28-2014, 02:38 AM

I never thought the day would come that I would part ways with my 370. It felt just like yesterday that I found this wicked looking Chicane Yellow Z (Color offered only in 2009) on the forums while I was deployed in the Middle East. Now, after seeing her come up from a base+sport model Z to a fully modified dream car, I can safely say that I will always remember the great experiences and awesome people I've met through owning this car and being part of such an amazing enthusiast community.

Up for sale is my 2009 Stage 2 Supercharged Amuse Nissan 370z:

-Falken Azenis FK453 275/30/19 F 305/30/19 R (Less than 1k Miles on them)

Operation
-461.5whp and 335lb-ft of torque on the Official Dsport Dyno with an 8psi pulley (Can also be read at Dsport Magazine Issue #137)
The car has always ran great and still runs strong. No issues with the motor whatsoever and sounds like a BEAST. Especially with the Bypass valve going off.
If you want, you can go up to an 11psi pulley and break 500whp. I just decided to keep it safely under 500 as, at the time of the supercharge production, no one knew the limit of the engine.
Low 15,XXX Current Mileage - Daily driven in Hawaii for a year but now only sees Car Shows and specific Car Meets here in Los Angeles (Maybe a night out with the wifey =P)

Issues
Update - Fixed the Power Steering issue as it was a loose fitting. Cleaned the engine bay a bit when I changed oil but suggest a deeper cleaning if time permits (I barely have time nowadays)

-The only problem I came across is that the original Power Steering (PS) line burst and I upgraded it through a shop in Hawaii that specializes in P/S Lines. I left the old hose in there as well as it was zip tied to other lines and it would have been a pain to cut every single one of them. During my initial assessment of where the leak was, I believe that I didn't tighten another fitting in the PS system and so it leaks somewhere else (most likely the PS Filter). I always check the reservoir to make sure and I usually have some Dextron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (Which the vehicle's PS system is designed for).

-The car is low and I live in Los Angeles, so the front bumper has taken a beating. Some of my fellow Z guys saw me scrape hard at one of the meets. I almost cried. The side skirts not too much, but you can imagine the normal wear and tear with lowered cars. i.e. scraped bumpers, chips, etc.
-The California sun is harsh on my carbon fiber MINES rear spoiler addon and has faded a bit. Normal with any carbon fiber part.
-Stereo is stock. Speakers are blown as well. I actually just leave it off and enjoy the car sound (seriously, it sounds great). But I did put sound deadening mats in the trunk as I thought I was going to install some ICE. Never did.

Track
-Even though I planned to do it this year, the car never got to see a track day in her life. Nor a drift, nor a burnout. Respect.

I see your $1 and raise to $1000 Canadian (= $2 US). I am not providing any loving.

definitionxmk · 09-04-2014, 10:54 AM

I never knew $1000 Canadian was around $2. I keep getting it confused with the euro. And here I was thinking I was getting ripped off buying something from there awhile back.

Its that shitty Canadia dollar thing. Their dollar coin is called a Looney and the $2 coin is a Tooney!!! It's like when you buy a book it's $4.95 here and $6.95 there.

The math is really good on the forum, LOL

Are you coming to the meet? I'll start parting the car out there

definitionxmk · 09-04-2014, 11:34 AM

Yep, I should be there. I just don't know about parting her out yet, lol. I cringe on having to take out everything =P Hasn't even been a week on the market!

Got some cool trade offers for the Z. Really don't want another heavily modded car again though. Feelin' like starting out from stock or close to to it.

Voice59 · 09-04-2014, 02:29 PM

Just a question. I'm getting the Stance Supersport + installed. I only plan on going lower by about a half inch to an inch. Do I need the rear camber arms?

definitionxmk · 09-04-2014, 02:41 PM

^nope you don't really need it and I know people run without them all the time. However, I really suggest you get them.

DavidZ370 · 09-04-2014, 02:50 PM

I've seen you drive along near riverside in Burbank, its an awesome car GLWS

If they're not needed...exactly what would they do if I got them? I know they have something to do with camber but that's about where my knowledge drops off about them.

I'll increase both your bets by $1 and times it by 2 hahaha

cooltoy · 09-04-2014, 05:31 PM

Canadian or 'merican?

6MT-Z34 · 09-04-2014, 05:32 PM

Mmm....American
