they come warrantied too. 6k though. Thats just the kit though )= no supporting mods. oil cooler, clutch/flywheel, gauges will all probably be needed. PM them here on the forum. Maybe they can hook you up

I think they are around $7400 installed (and tuned) from the last time I got a quote.

If you do turbo your S2k you're also going to want to upgrade the clutch and diff. Diff especially... it's incredibly weak and WILL break on you without an upgrade.

puddy modded diff is the way to go now.

wasn't an option back in my day, which got me my first exposure to the horrendous 370z differential

Yeah, that's the way to go. Not cheap, regardless.

cheaper than the R200 swap by a long way.

Sales@AAMComp · 02-28-2013, 11:14 AM

our main tech here at AAM has an s2k, putting down a little over 500whp on a stock motor lol

not too shabby for a 4 banger, that thing is quick

nice! Very very nice

m4a1mustang · 02-28-2013, 11:19 AM

So yeah, to "do it right," you're probably around $10k give or take a grand.

Probably more for you since you'll need new wheels and tires. And fender work to accommodate the wheels and tires you're going to need with 450whp and 2750lbs.

Nismo is ~3300 curb weight iirc. Am I absolutely positively going to need new wheels or can I get by with better/stickier tires?

FI Z definitely needs stickier tires.

You can get by, but you just won't be able to put your foot in it as much as you would with more rubber.

I certainly wouldn't want a stock suspension NISMO with FI, though. If I was doing it I'd be on KW V3s and some meaty tires.

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 11:27 AM

The nismo does have an upgraded suspension over the sport & base. It's stiff as hell. KW V3s would be an idea but been adamant about not dropping the car at all up until now.

Upgraded is debatable.

The spring rates are stiffer, sure, but the shocks are still crap.

b1adesofcha0s · 02-28-2013, 11:30 AM

FI'd Z's have trouble getting traction with RE-11's. You'll need some super sticky tires and probably wider too.

m4a1mustang · 02-28-2013, 11:30 AM

You don't necessarily need to lower the car much with coilovers, either. It's more about improved body control as a result of far superior damping.
