Left hand side.. under Products... 3rd link down...

I will be asking about this new package with my NISMO contact at the West Japan Auto Salon this weekend......

 

The 2nd NISMO picture...

 

I can't make it out in the small pic. What are those 2 round items under the spark plugs?

 

WOW...... I cannot believe that...... I gotta save more money now.... thanks for the information.

Wondering to know what are the differences between those JDM Cams and the one that offers by Nismo North America? Are they the same?

cheers,

richie

 

APS,

I think those might be used for the timing chain or cam chain? Remember I saw those round part when you take off the engine cover...

cheers,

Base kit price: 650,000 (~USD$6,070)

It says it's available for both CPV35 and Z33

 

Damn that's expensive. I'd rather spend my money on a blower.

 

unless Im reading something wrong, thats 6-8000$ for 300hp? a whopping 13hp over stock?

yeah yeah, maybe the curve is broader. I dont give a crap. hell no.

 

FairladyZ,

Is this similar to the sports resetting package?
Why in the world can't they bring this stuff to the
US, besides that we have crappy gas.

 

You gotta be kidding me!

$6-8k for 300PS?! It's insulting to me that they think we'll pay that much.

I'd rather spend the money on a GReddy kit.

 

octane ratings in the US and japan are different, in reality, their gas is like 94 or 95 on our scale. not much higher than ours unless your stuck with california 91.

 

you'd think with all that, you would get more than 13 hp

 

California 91

 

Why is Nismo using a metal intake pipe? isn't heat soak an issue?

 

I think those two little round things look like the VTC bodies mentioned in the list. They're part of the CVTC system that sits on the end of the intake cams and houses the solenoids that differentiate the timing of the cams and between the two chains on each head.

 

this has been out in Japan for a few weeks now.

The pieces under the plugs are cam sprockets, give more advancement for cam timing

 

Thats interesting. That could be a good mod if sold seperatly.

Wonder how they improve it, lighter and maybe some adjustments can be made.

 

Yay...9 more horsepower, and a loss of 10 ft/lbs of torque vs US. Spec Cars. Although peak power is 200 RPM later.

the Japanese Spec 350Z gains 20 Horsepower, and torque stays the same...

Thats if i have all my information correct..
