Default Shaggy370Z's Magnetic Black 2014

So I have been lurking and reading up on the forums for a bit and figured it was time to make my first post. I purchased my 2014 Magnetic Black 370Z about 3 months ago. I absolutely love the car so far, its a blast to drive. I got a few things done to the car so far and today I put on the new rims and tires and figured I would post up some pics. I keep saying that I don't have plans to do more but that's usually how it all starts. lol I have been looking at Supercharger and turbo kits so its only a matter of time.










Thanks for looking!!!

Last week I installed the Top Speed Pro-1 catback exhaust system, Top Speed Pro-1 Carbon Fiber (100% real carbon fiber piping) Short Ram Intakes, and a TollBoothWilley Aluminum Undertray.


The Aodhan's are 19 x 9.5" Front and 19 x 11" Rear +22 offset front/rear. Tire sizes are 255/40R19 front and 285/35R19 rear. I will eventually go with a wider rear tire in the future but for now I am happy with the 285's other than the tiny bit of stretch. I wanted to see how the Firestone FireHawk Indy500's ride and handle on the car and the maximum width in 19" was 285. So far I really like the tires. They ride and handle a lot better than the Michelin PS3's that were on the car when I got it, they actually have chunks missing in some of the middle treads.

Looking good man! Could use a bit more tire on those rears, but that's just me. Careful if you're on the path to forced induction don't get too far down the bolt on road. Much cheaper in the long run to ski most of the bolt ons if you are serious about FI except for the ones that will still work when the big swap comes in.

Keep it up

Looks good and the mods are nice. How do you like the short ram intakes? Take some pictures and post them up.

Thanks for posting!! I agree, I am definitely going to go wider in the rear soon. I should have went with 305's for sure. Yeah so far I am not too far into bolt on mods only other thing I may do before pulling the trigger on FI is an ECUTek flash by SpecialyZ. Good thing is that wont be money wasted since its the best option for tuning for the Z so far.

So far they work great. I really like the fact that its real carbon fiber and they look great under the hood. Only thing I wasn't really happy with was the hoses for the PCV weren't anywhere close to being long enough so I had to rig up some hoses and connectors to make it work. I am going to either purchase a catch can setup, if I can find one that isn't $600, or find some silicon hose that will work. I will definitely take some pics and post them up soon.

Good call on Ecutek

There are many catch cans around $100 or so

Yeah I have seen the universal ones but I am not a huge fan. I ran one on my Legacy GT for a short period of time and it didn't work so well. Ended up with a Crawford Performance catch can setup that was a bit expensive (Not $600) but it actually returned the oil to the motor and looked great as well. I am going to email Saikou Michi and see if they still offer a kit for the 370z.

What catch can setup are you running? I saw you started a thread on them but I didn't see where you said what setup you decided on.

How does a catch can return oil to the motor, doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose? The oil that gets collected is not pure oil by a long shot. Personally I wouldn't want it anywhere near my motor hence the catch can in the first place. Nearly all catch cans are universal, though the better ones will guarantee no unmetered air back into the engine.

It has to do with the way they designed the catch can but it returns oil to the center of the block. Here is the link with their explanation of the design. The Original Air/Oil Separator – Crawford Performance . It worked well on my Subaru but I was also running a rotated mount GT35R setup so a catch can was required.

I like that one from ConceptZPerformance. That's most likely the ones I will go with. Thanks for the link!!

Couple of pics I took of the intakes a couple of weeks ago. The engine bay shot turned out crappy, ill get some better pics as soon as the weather clears up.

Well I decided to go with UpRev for tuning since I got a really good deal on a new unit and I can do my own tuning (its the Tuner Version) since there are not any tuners for ECUTek or UpRev close by.

I also ordered some Z1 Motorsports intake breather hoses since the stock ones wouldn't work with my SRIs and the hoses they sent weren't even close to long enough. I got black since the red hose I am using now stands out like a sore thumb.

Next up will be an oil cooler setup to keep my oil temps down when it gets hot this summer.

No Z1 breather tubes yet but I did take some pics under the hood today.

Got my UpRev Tuner in today. Got the car flashed no problem. Also got the fuel dialed in pretty well so far and the car runs so much better than before the tune. It pulls hard up top where it felt flat too me, after data logging on the stock map I immediately saw the reason why. I need to get a knock headset setup and a couple others tools and I will start working on the timing maps. Definitely worth the money, might not be as good as ECUTek but atleast I can make adjustments myself.
