Looks fantastic. I have been toying with getting side blades and I think it's a

now. Looking forward to the NST Pulley dyno. Keep up the great work on your journal. SICK Z34 for sure.

Went to Specialty Z today and had Seb install the NST pulley set. Was interested to see if pullies made a difference at all. The NST thread had dynos, but for a 350Z.

Bought the NST pulley set for a very good price through a vendor WESELLCARPARTS, and pullies were shipped directly by NST in Texas. I was ticked that the pulleys came scratched up and even had a small chip. Talked to Seb@SZ and Mike@NST, and both said it will not affect the Z. So whatever, I went through with the install.

There was a blip at 6.5K RPM which gave a false reading of TRQ, so please disregard the Peak Torque number (blue line).

Solid gains were made from 4.2K RPM, all the way to redline. AVG gains were about 6 whp/6wtq. At 6.2K RPM, and 7.1K RPM, gains were about 10whp/10wtq. Peak gain of +6 WHP and about +1 WTRQ.

Car seems to rev up easier. Besides that, can't really feel the small bump in power. I will see if my MPG imroves at all. All in all, for the money spent ($400 installed), not too bad.

I really think the M370 manifold is robbing me power up top. I'm going to take that off then get it re-dyno'd in February. Also think the Gemini is an inferior exhaust. Going to try either the FI exhaust or the new Motordyne exhaust.

370Z JT · 01-14-2012, 09:14 PM

Here are some NST VS OEM Nissan Weight comparisons to consider.

OEM: 5 lb 2 oz
NST: 1 lb 5 oz

Difference of: 3 lb 13 oz or 61 oz total

370Z JT · 02-10-2012, 05:23 PM

Just dropped off my MS1s at Wheelflip.com to get the lips & barrels anodized Bronze. Gonna take 3 to 4 weeks though as they are backed up on orders.

Motordyne E370 exhaust install and dyno on 2/24. Can't wait!

I didn't like the shape of the ducts from Mines. Varis air ducts looked good though.

370 JT, Did you happen to be at Diamond Jamboree Thursday night last week? Maybe it was a wednesday. Friend says he swore he saw my car there but I told him i wasn't there. Don't think there's many of us with a blacked out mouth on white. btw, i need to know where you got your rear spats painted, mind telling me? =)

370Z JT · 04-03-2012, 09:32 PM

What's up. Naw wasnt me. Although we're gonna look a lot alike after I mount my black face/bronze barrel wheels on soon!

I got the spats painted at Fountain Valley Body Works Auto Body, Paint, and Collision Repair in Orange County California for $200.
