The S-tune goes on in a week. That will drop it a bit. Here's one more.... The shameless plug

How does the new exhaust sound? Is the resonance intrusive when ou are in the cabin?

Looks sharp..I am a Brickyard man myself but appreciate the Sunsets

So far we have only installed the Titanium Shift ****, S-tune suspension, sway bars, rims/tires and floor mats. Everything else is on hold until the base line dyno on Thursday. Next week will be performance mod week..... I do have to say the car seems to ride better with the S-Tune suspension and last nights run through the local twisties was a RUSH!!! After now driving my own Z for the last 5 days, instead of just driving customers cars around the block, I'm more impressed than ever!! What a great car. I sold my 600 rear wheel horse power ATI supercharged C5 street/drag car last night and don't even miss her. Now we have even more $$ to dump in this toy.........hummm the mind runs wild with ideas.

Sucks to be you my friend! Ha Ha!

I am thinking of S Tune suspension but balking at the $1,800 price at the moment. I have 19's on and that makes a nice difference as well.

Keep us posted...we are all jealous to be sure.

Pardon me, but are you from Duarte Cal, or Washington?? I guess neither is too close to VA, just curious.

That $1,300 S tune sounds great :-)

We are in Duarte, CA
350zya: Just bolt in, align car and thrash away. When we checked my alignment it was ALMOST dead on after the install. I did have one issue...... The red O on the Nismo rims turned pink and one of the front O's (sticker) fell off. Honest... I wasn't beating the car.... too bad. Nissan sent out some guys to check into it and take pictures. They did mention the scrubbed sidewalls and rubber dust on the car's body, but did agree that the stickers should hold on better. Liking the S-Tune suspension.

Jeff, I was curious if the cats make the exhaust any louder. What kind of gain are you anticipating these kitties will make?

The cat's should add a nice tone to the exhaust. I'll let you guys know soon. As far as gains.... I should have that answer next week after we do the 2nd Dyno.

jeff, beautiful rims man... one question, what kind of drop did you get with the s tune? i'm guessing it should "settle" within a few weeks as well... i'm interested in the drop at that point as well... keep us posted!

Thanks.. The drop was exactly 3/4". We measured it before and after. I hope it settles a tad bit more, but it is enough to scrape my driveway now. My FAKE Nismo body kit (after I install it) wont be happy!!
