Prepared Mods for 370Z

nogoodname · 12-09-2008, 10:46 AM

well, the cost of the Brembos can give you an intake (around 500 for a good one), an exhaust (ranges from 800-2000) depends on what you want and you'll still have cash left over to buy nice rims with rubber !!!!!

^^ I hear you. I would not do the Brembos UNTIL my 'standard' brakes gave out. That would probally be quite some time as I have had my RX8 for 2 1/2 years and am still very much in the green on brake status. I just do not drive that much, but when I do I like good braking.

From what we have heard, the standard brakes are quite good.

Speaking of intakes, why isn't Nismo doing an intake???

nogoodname · 12-09-2008, 10:52 AM

^no idea...lol...maybe because there's many aftermarket intakes already available for the G37 which could be slightly altered to fit the Z

370z · 12-09-2008, 12:29 PM

My personal opinion after “modding” few cars in the past is that it never really "improves" the car in any way. In your case, the 370z already is equipped w/ 14.0-in vented disc; 13.8-in vented disc, ABS; and 19" forged aluminum wheels.
Instead, it'll affect the geometry of the car negatively. Therefore what most of us end up doing is essentially downgrading our cars, especially when it comes to 370z.
Nissan has put millions of dollars & many yrs of RD into the 370z, just like the 350z and therefore it does not need any "modification" from us.
Enjoy the car as it was meant to be enjoyed by genius engineers at Nissan and you will not regret it.

That is almost my exact set-up on my '05, and big reason why i will not change over just yet.

So what would putting just larger tires do to the car's geometry??

nogoodname · 12-09-2008, 03:15 PM

^^
larger diameter = slightly, really slightly better mileage......hahahaha

sensi09 · 12-09-2008, 03:16 PM

Hopefully brembo will offer a front and rear setup for their BBK this time around.

If I get a 370Z, I'd mod it just like any other car. Suspension, exhaust and wheels then some type of mild aero kit. For suspension, I'd look at KWs or Bilsteins first, then the JDM offerings.

nogoodname · 12-09-2008, 03:19 PM

the KW V3's on the G37 was a big hit compared to all the other coil overs

sensi09 · 12-09-2008, 03:21 PM

KWs may not be the most track oriented setup, but they always seem to be popular regardless of the car. For myself though, the V2s would probably be sufficient.

You are evil... What about wider?

nogoodname · 12-09-2008, 05:09 PM

^^ wider doesn't really matter, as long as you got no rubbing issues.....
