That was Cool! i'm a Drag-Racer;but enjoyed it very much!!!
My ~Z~ would need better wrap around seats for this style driving.

Last night was my first real driving experience in the 2015 370z Nismo. I turned off the traction control and drove in an empty area very aggressively. It was a bit tougher to recover from a drift than anticipated and the back end broke free more easily than anticipated but that's probably due to my regular sports car being the 2014 SRT Viper or the last true track car I owned, the 2012 Audi TTRS with its glorious quattro and spectacular brakes.

I will say though that this Nismo is a much more fun experience than the 2014 Corvette Stingray z51 I had last year. The 370z Nismo has better steering, cornering, feels more planted than the C7.

It's not much publicized; but the manual Nismo's have a 3.92:1 rear diff in place of the 3.69:1,,,,and the A/T Nismo's have the 3.69:1 gearing...both LSD

Thanks to dragonbreath, installed Stillen HFCs and Eibach front anti-sway bar. My Z sounded great with the CBE, but sounds AWESOME with the HFCs. Couldn't be happier!

Also, worlds of difference between the stock front bar and the Eibach. It's like driving a new car. Especially since the Swift/SPL install several months ago.

Just found out the car has to stay until Monday.... They couldn't find what's causing the ignition problem.... :(

Sorry to hear it my friend. Did you finally get your Z back?

Nice run nonetheless, congrats! :tup:

I just figured out that I've now driven over a half-million miles on the Z's I've owned since 1972! Well technically, that includes a Datsun 1600 in there as my gateway drug, but I think it should count. Thanks to the late great Mr. K for a lifetime of smiles!

Let's see how it does.

jchammond 07-28-2015 06:42 AM

That's the $208 one, suppose to yield 10-14hp

DD'd in this morning... but the best part is my dad got to ride in the Z for the first time.

hopefully this will convince him to sell his is350 and get hte rc350/rc-f or some sort of sport coupe. XD

Planning on detailing the Z this weekend, it is filthy. Last time I washed it was in June! (Granted it's been sitting in the garage 90% of the time) but filthy!!!

My plan is to do the work on the intake and then just install it. It is also very difficult to get to a dyno due to my work travel schedule. I will do my best to provide a detailed analysis of the modification.

oh I know I follow ;)

but more so it'd be cool to see the scientifically measured changes as you added more parts/changes etc. all good though... cause the final product is really all that matters!

FML! Nissan parts shop being a bunch of idiots. I had to pick up the 'rear' rotors today and drive home. check the part numbers and they match the 2 I have now. 40206-jl00a...

now I need to go call them back tomorrow and give them an earful and get the exchange to 43206-jl00a.... sigh...

ZeroZ34 07-29-2015 10:08 AM

Finally installed my CF Duckbill! My sponsor will be installing my CF Diffuser later today!

It's a slow build but i'm loving it so far.
