Time for a tune and the recaro seats installed..
Base HP at the wheels is 295, will be interesting to see what it will be at after it gets its tune.

It was amazing I got the recaro seats into the Z, just one trip, which is good.

Interesting comment today, I was walking in the apartment complex and spotted a neighbor washing a new M3, didn't ask the year, he said it was the last with a V-8. He said he had noticed my 370z, and then added, he didn't really like the 370z, for they kept up with the M3.. some comment like that, so I do not know if he was tracking it or not, but I just smiled knowing that the Z likes to run ....
:yum::driving:

bit of an update on getting the recaro's installed, learning a lot, will be a bit, had to order new brackets, the one's I bought would not work. So a few days... They did say they would like good in it. But what an education ....

picked up the Z, today only because I am going to be out of town for a couple of weeks, shop is great, but little room for storage, so I simply brought it home, clean and shine her all up.

Made head way on some de-chroming, was able to get the nissan badges off with minimum effort. I had purchase a trim removal trip, it is all made of hard plastic. Was able to get under the badges and pry them off.

fun thing is, pulled out of the shop lot, on a main highway and the acceleration to 60 was quicker than I have experienced, definitely has more go sounds great too..

Wow, nobody is replying!
I have the same exact car i believe. '12 Black cherry Touring w/sport. Got it this march. I did the same thing to the door handles but in black cherry. Looks amazing and has the same shine as the factory paint.

What test pipes do you have? Your dyno seems low for all these mods? or am i too optimistic?

door handles are exactly like your painted black cherry and you are right, they are amazing, actually finishes the car...

It has not been tune/dyno yet, its just timing and out of town a bit. It is going back in the shop thanksgiving week for the tune and finish putting in the recaro seats in.

The test pipes are from Z1motorsports, 'AAM Competition 2.5" Resonated Test Pipes - 350Z /G35 VQ35DE' The reference to the 350Z, is I also purchased the Z1Motorsport headers, the FI resonated test pipes would not fit.

got to take the Z out after two weeks, have been out of town, and felt great and sounded great with the new exhaust system...

Now Monday comes and it goes back in to get the finish work done...

Love the car! I wish I had my Z when I lived out in Knoxville.

Thanks, even sounds better with the FI Exhaust on it too...
have a great holiday
:driving:

:tup:

well Z did not make to the shop this week, the parts for the seats did not make it in,
so maybe next week.. will get this confirmed on Monday, and then will talk about the tuen and a few others things,

maybe instead of putting more money into, that the money that is left and get a Z32, there is on there at the shop, that is just waiting all depends on the price and repairs... :stirthepot:

oil change time again, a bit late this time almost 6 months, instead of the standard 3 months... do enjoy the Gold preferred plan, or what ever I bought for maintenance.....

but the fun part was watching some of them just drew all over the car, had it out and the exhaust sounds so nice, and it really like to run....

Enjoy the week...

Recaro's were installed, modding gets expense, but they look great...
Next Step is a harness bar and harness

:happydance:

Besides the recaro, I add another 370Z to the family, awhile ago I found a 1/24th Maisto assembly line 2009 Nissan 370z, So I got the idea of painting it the same color as my Z, which is NAG/Black Cherry, In searching the web, I found this company Automotive Touch Up (Touch Up Paint and accessories | AutomotiveTouchup) they make custom spray can paints of all sorts of car colors. Made it an easy way to paint the car
