If I was getting a 370z, it would be white. I can't wait to see your new wheels on it, I'm quite sure it will be better. Thanks for pics!!!!!

 

We might, but not right now. The wheels on the car are off of another car and we may have to swap them back before we get our custom set in for the 370.

 

man i want those stock 370 rims on my 350 so bad lol! i think with my drop and spacers theyd be sicker than my 06 rims

 

god im dying to see what this puppy will do with a tune and some bolt-ons!!!! 300+

 

that car is simply amazing. Its gotta be a blast to drive. How is it with the intakes on? Sound really good?

 

Something I've noticed from the dynos is that the power levels off around 6K. More should be had by using a larger diameter exhaust to improve the higher rpm scavenging and shorter "ram" style intakes. Tuning for 93 octane will also help, whenever someone gets a flash for this.

My 370z is fully broken in now and I do notice power not surging as strong in the uppers. It makes good power, but each subsequent rpm isn't gaining like the previous.

 

The only drawback to doing it with larger exhaust will be the loss of power at lower RPM's and the potential for even more torque loss. I would rather deal with a flat pull at the upper range than give up power throughout the band. We're still waiting to pull it on the dyno with the 07 Nismo intakes installed. There is certainly more power to be had with tuning on this car, we're working with Uprev now on getting a solution to that.

 

Well before jumping into the headfirst into the often misinterpreted, misguided and misquoted realm of exhaust tuning, I'd say that it is a balance game and that I wouldn't rule out there being a good chance for solid gains pretty much throughout in a diameter and design that will sufficiently allow scaveging in the upper rpms while not decreasing the velocity of exhaust at lower engine speeds.

 

already looks a lot better, needs a new bumper though

 

Considering my personal background in motorsports and years of work as a Dynatech racing headers dealer I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about in regards to exhaust diameter and the trade offs between high RPM gains and low RPM scavenging.

 

Looking forward to the results

 

That wasn't directed at you, but rather at the collective wisdom of the internet forum types that think "backpressure = torque" and don't understand the trade-offs associated with exhaust tuning. I'm sorry if it sounded like it was pointed at you, I was trying to avoid people that just spout dogmatic mantras on boards. I'd love to get your thoughts on the stock header design.

 

We haven't had a chance to really look into the full system on the 370Z exhaust. I'm looking forward to getting more pieces off of this car and really getting a feel for what Nissan was looking for and for where it can be improved. Exhaust is one of those things that is pretty damn cool when you really get into the details. I used to drive and build circle track race cars, 700+ HP stuff on slick surface dirt tracks and we would change headers depending on where we were racing at to change the power band. Swap headers and gain 400 RPM on the top end for one track, swap them back and gain 30 lbs of torque for another track. It was carzy stuff.

Anyways, lol.

 

Black Chrome rims and painted inner bumper.

 

We are leaning towards either black chrome or gloss black powercoat on the wheels. 20" x 10 " front 20" x 12" rear.

 

white looks really good on it and rims arent that bad

 

Interesting result. Peak torque increased by 5 ft/lbs but peak horsepower was down. The overall curve had a slight bump upwards but really strange to see the peak number decrease. Then again we were using a 350Z HR Nismo intake and not a true 370Z design. Wondering if the 370Z intake will have an increase in piping diameter over the HR.......not really what we were expecting to see. But interesting none the less.

 

Seen this car in person today it is sick. Thanks for the run around bryan I really appreciate it. Guys you have to see this thing in person it looks way better. Pictures really dont do justice lol.

 

Did John give you a ride? I stayed hidden in my office all day, lol, it's too damn cold in parts room.

 

Nah he didnt but he did do a few dyno runs while I was there. Ha I actually thought the guy at the front desk was you for a minute
