Default Prodrive 350z Market Research

Prodrive is doing some research to see which line of product we are going to introduce next.
I wanted to ask the my350z.com forum members for some input on sum products that we have or are planning on releasing in the United States.

GC series Wheels

The Following wheels have already been introduced in the United States.
They where designed by Prodrive and made for us by rays engineering in Japan.
They are all one piece forged wheels.

GC-010

Colors: British Black, British Gold, and Silver

GC-07

Colors: British Black, British Gold, and Silver

GC-06

Colors: British Black, British Gold, and white

GC-05
This is the next wheel that we will be releasing next month…



Prodrive Active Shock Technology

The Prodrive suspension with Active Shock Technology™ brings fully functioning semi-active suspension technology to the aftermarket. Active Shock adjusts shock stiffness over 1,000 times each second. The Active Shock suspension can range from softer than stock to 10 times stiffer than stock and it adjusts on the fly. The Active Shock system adjusts shock valving 1,000 times per second based on information from sensors monitoring the position, velocity, and acceleration of the suspension components and the lateral and longitudinal movement of the car’s body…

Body Modification
The following is a kit that we released at SEMA for the Infiniti FX35/45.


(sorry that I don’t have a better image)

Twin-Intercooled Supercharger

Prodrive’s includes a twin-intercooled supercharger which increases flywheel horsepower from 280 whp to 350/400 whp, a high-flow exhaust system, and an upgraded engine control unit (ECU) reflash.

Tell us what you guys think…

Would you be interested in us developing suspension?
Would you be interested in us developing a body kit?
Would you be interested in our wheels?
Would you be interested in our supercharger?
How much more power are you looking for?
Is there any thing that we should change?
Is there a product that you would like to see us develop?

I prefer that you post them here but, you can e-mail me: Dan@prodrive-usa.com

it would be nice if we could see specs on some of the wheels and what they might look like on the car. weight, size, and maybe show some of the other colors.

as for power, cost of the total kit would be nice to know... there are several other s/c kits out. the ati procharger will be a huge competitor.

The wheels look great and Prodrive has been a Subie favorite, I'll be a tester for your new wheels on the East Coast show scene!!! or any of your wheels they're beautiful in every aspect.
I also think the AST suspension is gonna be quit expensive also.

I am currently looking for a better tuned suspension and would potentially be interested in Prodrive products given your company's reputation. When I first purchased the vehicle, I felt that the car's shocks and springs were not properly matched. There has been much discussion on this subject since the vehicle's USA introduction.

Wow, I really like the 010 and 06 rims. I like the concave spokes on the 010. Very cool. I wish I hadn't just ordered Nismo rims!
