Nismo version: how is it setup?
 

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, but, I searched and couldn't find anything.

I was just wondering what all is done with the Nismo version to produce an extra 18HP and 6TQ? Just intake and exhaust?

The extra power comes from a different exhaust and tune.

:werd:

Thank you. I figured it would be something simple. Man, that's a lot of extra $$$ for a simple mod. I think it has a better suspension also. Oh well! :)

Well the Nismo comes with more than just the extra HP over the standard coupe.
You get better body bracing, different suspension, completely revised aero and some Nismo accents in the interior.

I thought the NISMO had no additional bracing or chasis work done?

I believe it has a couple extra braces in the front, they did not spot weld it like they did with the 350z Nismo (I would have bought a Nismo if they had).

Yeah, it has a couple extra pieces, but nothing major.

Interesting, I never this. :tiphat:

Differences that I can think of now are:

Body kit
Wheels
Bracing (front and rear body dampers, reinforced strut bar)
Nismo shocks and springs
Thicker sways (not sure on this one)
Dual exhaust with H-Pipe config
ECU tune
Interior

Also, the RAYS wheels are specific to the Nismo.

Is the CF driveshaft Nismo-specific?

no

No

It also has a $1000 piece of plastic covering the oil pan. As apposed to the ~$100 one on the standard model.

Don't forget you fly with the eagles, comes standard on all nismos.

It has a big wing so it can fly!! ;)

It's funny that the functional wing gets made fun of. But an aftermarket wing doesn't.

this :iagree:

I still can't understand how we have a 20% drive line loss. I mean my nearly the same weight Sky only had about 10% drive line loss and it is rear wheel drive. Rated at 270/270 makes 245/254 to wheels stock. So the Z rated at 332/270 should be more than 265/220 to the wheels.

From thendynos I have seen we are either loosing almost 70 HP for driveline loss or Nissan is fudging the power numbers of this motor!

I am sure all those extra goodies with Nismo add extra weight.

By adding intake, and exhaust and a tune one would think one could make more power than the Nismo.

:iagree:
You just gave me my new signature. +rep

:iagree: ... haters lol

But too bad,Nismo,don't have an Auto version.

lol hahahaha

you know its funny how if you go on non Z forums (honda forums mostly), when people see the nismo they say "i hate when people put stupid large aftermarket spoilers and rice such a nice car"

I just :shakes head:
They don't understand S*** when it comes to:
1. what is OEM nismo models look like and 2. what functional spoilers look like

sorry they just make me :mad:

Don't forget the Nismo actually looks good, where the regular 370z looks like an ugly toad!

O really :icon08:

:bs:

Hey guys what going on toda.....:koolaidwall:

here we go..:ugh2:

The NISMO comes with most of the S-Tune stuff that you can get from the dealer already installed. As someone stated earlier, the aero is revised and has the body dampers as well. I figured I would be better off getting it done from the factory than buying aero and having it installed painted, etc...............

Oh yeah.........flying with eagles as well!

Edit: Let's not do the Z trim level thing again...............we already got a thread AJAX'd.

This is from R&T-

"Underneath its showy aero bits, the 2009 Nismo 370Z is no less hard-core than the 350Z Nismo. Autech still takes the standard Z-car chassis off the assembly line and welds the seams of the unit body by hand — a labor-intensive process that increases structural rigidity beyond that of a normal, spot-welded unibody. Mass dampers are then fitted between the unibody's left and right frame members to control the extra vibration inherent in a seam-welded chassis."

I've read on this forum that the Nismo version doesn't get the extra welds on the chassis... So does it or doesn't it?

I believe there are also performance dampers front and rear.
Or, is that what you mean when you refer to the body dampers?
At least that is what it states in the manual for the NISMO model. If so, I'm wondering if those would be of benefit to us that have the sport models. I would think so. It looks like they are just there to dampen side play for the front and rear suspension. Or, are they body dampers? Not sure about that one. Looks like ones I've use on suspensions before. Wish they showed the connection points. Oh snap, I'll have to find a NISMO and crawl under it now. I might want those parts.
Interesting find I think. Page 5-30 of manual:

Look at my post above yours.....

"Mass dampers are then fitted between the unibody's left and right frame members to control the extra vibration inherent in a seam-welded chassis."

From what ive read about the nismo before I bought mine, was that its 140% stiffer than the standard 370... I'll try to find the article i read it and post back. I thought there were more things besides just the dampers...

Im assuming this is a joke because if not, that is just a stupid thing to say and definitely not true...

OK, were talking the same thing. I'm wondering if it's an easy add?

Yep, another beauty is in the eye of the beholder round. :shakes head:
