Hello from the UK

Scottyd423 · 08-11-2016, 02:43 PM

Hello all!

I purchased a 2014 370Z nismo here in the UK this year and am loving it. She's a low miler with under 8k on the clock.

Only modification to date is an Armytrix cat-back exhaust which I'm hopefully getting new tips for as it doesn't fill the nismo bumper well due to the tips being smaller than stock.

Planned mods are:
Headlights- paint inside grey to match splitter and add halo lights
FI - currently looking for either a decent price supercharger kit or perhaps even a TT kit to hopefully take the car to 550-600bhp (safe region without forging)

Here is a picture of the car and what she replaced.

Hopefully find a charger kit soon on the forum if someone is willing to post to the UK!

Hello & welcome,
Both cars are sweet looking, too bad you couldn't keep both! Or did you?

Gorgeous new Nismo! FI sounds like an awesome project. This is definitely the forum to gain insight and advice as you embark on your modding voyage.

I can't quite make out what the ex was ... (dodging ripe tomatoes being lobbed at my head); can you enlighten us?

Welcome aboard!

Old car was an ibiza bocanegra, absolutely awesome car. Made over 200lb-ft of torque from 2.5k-5.5krpm. 0-60 in 4.99 (quicker than the nismo!) all from a 1.4tsi.
I kept both for a few months and never used the ibiza so ended up selling it so it wouldn't go to waste. On the plus side, it provided some money to put towards the nismo.

I'm looking more towards the stillen supercharger as it appears to be more reliable (car is used as a daily) hopefully get a good deal on hear for a decent kit!

That sounds solid! But I admit I've never heard of that car. I'm going to google (duck duck go actually) it after to see if its or sold in North America under a different name.

Cheers!
