Well, I frequent a few other boards, one of them Honda related, and a regular over there posted this:

"i just went to the local nissan dealer and saw a 350z they were tuning. The outside looked awesome. veliside cf body kit and wing. (that's what they told me) Volk racing rims in bronze 19's and stillen exhaust. The guy that was working on it also told me its at around 600whp right now and it was in for more stuff. But that car looked so clean it's unbelivable. and it was blackt too. "

Could this be true? I HIGHLY doubt it, but perhaps someone has some info. He said it was at this dealer:

NORTH COAST NISSAN
7168 PEARL RD
CLEVELAND OH 44130
440 884 7800

Does anyone know of this car or the dealer or anything? We could all benefit if we discover that it truly has 600rwhp and what mods it took to get there. Once again, don't kill the messenger, because I don't exactly believe the message either, just thought it might be worth finding out the truth.

 

Don't ever believe what a Nissan dealer tells you or what they've told others. Except Performance that is

 

Boulder Nissan in boulder colorado has a TT 350z. with custom guages, interior, system, its pimped. forged pistons everything.....

 

I don't know if I would believe the numbers, but North Coast Nissan does mod the Z's that they sell.

I looked there, but they were marking all their cars up, so I when to another dealer and was able to get below MSRP for the car.

 

What???!!! Holy crap... i was going to go to NorthCoast Nissan a couple weeks ago for a test drive. Maybe ill check it out sometime soon. I live in Twinsburg, so its only 15 minutes away. Maybe ill get back to you guys on this, because this seems pretty interesting, especially considering that this is Cleveland. The cars in this area blow really bad, so i doubt that its true, but ill check it out.

 

Desi: Let me know if they actually DO tune cars there. I wonder if they have a dyno?

I live in PA about 80 miles from you. I drove right through Twinsburg two weeks ago (I like the big water tower!). My daughter plays AAU basketball and she had a tournament in several of the schools in Solon.

 

Ya, no problem, ill definetely check them out. That's kind of funny because i live right by the water tower. If you continued on 91 you would have passed a CVS. My housing development (ethan's greens) was right by CVS. Pretty small world. Ill try and check out the dealer this weekend.

 

at my shop we tuned a 350Z to over 400RWHP and an S2000 (which hasnt made its way into the mags yet but will) that made over 560RWHP. all dyno were performed on a dyno jet. both cars were running turbos also. the Z was closing in a 12psi and the S2000 was at 18psi with the small turbo. the new turbo will add a 60% effiecentcy rate without rasing the boost.
