Nismo 370z question?

stifun · 12-11-2013, 10:27 PM

Hey guys,

I'm new to the nissan world and I really do enjoy them! I have a buddy who has a Nismo 370Z I'm not quite sure what year it is but it's very nice.

His mods are as follows: Dual cold air intakes, test pipes, and no tune.

What should that car run in the 1/4 mile "E.T" and more importantly what would his trap speed mph be??

Reason I ask is because I was very impressed with how he kept up with me on the "highways of mexico" being he's only a v6 motor. Your cars are very very impressive!

I am happy that you are impressed with the z! The more important question is what were you driving? If you say an frs or genesis then I can understand your bewilderment as to how he could keep up with you-lol

By his name I would guess an STI.

By his previous post he has a BPU++ supra and a 2012 Z...which is weird because OP said he's new to the Nissan world.

I still have the Supra, but I had the 370z... didn't drive it much and traded it in b/c it was too impractical for me at the time.

I now drive a '12 VW Golf R.

And at the time I encountered this car I was in the Golf R. Before you guys get all shocked the Golf is not stock by any means.

In your initial post you say that you were surprised that a v6 motor could keep up with you but now your saying that you were in a golf. Do you have 1 of those new v8 golfs they just come out with?

Gadgetech · 12-12-2013, 05:13 AM

I can see his surprise, it has a 0-60 time of only 6.2 seconds for a $34,000, turbo charged 2.0 Golf (???). What? I don't think so!

A modded Golf R moves.

So you owned a 370, but you're shocked how well the Nismo kept up? It's not that much faster than the one you claimed to have owned. Math's not adding up.

I thought you said it was your brother's?

Sh0velMan · 12-12-2013, 08:21 AM

If it's not a 13 (or is it 14?) golf R, it's slow.

That's all I came here to say. Carry on.

This golf gti is special tho as it has VTEC

No. The Golf R is a Golf R it's not an R32 like the 2008 and 2004 models. This year comes with a 2.0L turbocharged motor. The older generations were all 3.2L 6 cylinder motors.

My current Golf R is APR Stage 2+ which equates to around 360hp ish or so. Don't get me wrong I still love the Z it's a FANTASTIC car, but I needed more practicality so I got this 4 door golf instead.

The looks of the Nismo 370Z are just amazing! I might get some heat for what I'm about to say..... but, I think the Nismo 370Z is WAYYYYYYYYYYY better looking then the R35 GTR's. Yup, that's right... I said it!

He was considering a touring/sport 370Z 6spd and they are really nice car's but he decided on the VW made a better DD and it has planty of tuning potential.

So far he loves it.
