GTM Performance Engineering: Project Nismo S/C Extreme

Exhaust System Installation

Expelling spent exhaust gasses is a set of our GTM 2.5" Test Pipes and an HKS Hi-Power Cat-back exhaust. This exhaust setup has an aggressive sound to complement the raw power this car throws down.

Engine Monitoring System Installation

We installed a second monitor in the factory cubby to allow for the HKS CAMP2 to display all the engine vitals separate from the navigation system we installed in the factory radio’s double DIN slot. In addition to displaying OBDII channels, we installed several sensors: Oil Pressure, Exhaust Gas Temperature, and Fuel Pressure. We also installed a backup camera to help the driver compensate for the Z's blind spots as you back out.

Traction Control System Installation

With 500whp on tap, it is easy to get the car to step out under power. Therefore, to keep the tail in check, this car has our GTM Plug and Play Traction Control to cut power incrementally to combat wheelspin without the bogging the factory VDC causes. With end user adjustability, the traction control system allows for full opposite lock drifts without losing control or on the other end of the spectrum, stomping on the accelerator in soaking wet weather and hooking up to walk away from the competition.

Wheels, Tires, and Suspension

Belting out 500whp begs for wider tires to get it to the ground. Standing up to that task are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 275/35R19 up front and 305/30R19 out back wrapped around a clean set of Work Gnosis GS2 wheels spec’d by GTM to 19x10” ET30 up front and 19x11” ET18 out back. To keep the car planted in the turns, we installed a set of nicely valved KW variant 3 coilovers and Hotchkis sway bars. With our GTM Precision Laser Alignment and SPC Camber Kit, we were able to dial in the suspension settings to ensure maximum cornering grip without undue tire wear. Last but not least, we upgraded the stopping power as well with Stoptech cross-drilled rotors, GTM braided stainless lines, and Motul RBF600 DOT 4 Racing Brake fluid to stave off brake fade. To finish things off, our GTM Powdercoated Calipers give the braking system a sportier appearance.
