BOOST! - Who will have Turbo and Supercharger products ready to go for Launch Day?
#21
EXACTLY why i am so excited about this car.....what kind of Mods can you do that dont void the warranty. I mean doesnt like just a cold air intake void the warranty. I'm thinking hold onto all the stock parts and if something goes on the car, transmission etc...pay to have the factory parts put back on so you can use the full warranty.

Not necessarily. As long as the tune is solid there should be no issues. Remember, the newer HR blocks are built stronger than the DE blocks (as evident by looking at the rods, pistons, and extra block bracing).

Yeah, I mean bolt ons can be removed easily if necessary, and If Im correct I believe you can throw a new exhaust system on without voiding the warranty. Correct me if im wrong guys.

We're seeing an add'l 30+ HP and nice, broad torque gains with exhaust, cats and a tune...
That's $2500 or less for exhaust, cats and tune... to get up to 365 crank HP on a 3300 pound chassis... yeilding a very nice 9 lbs per HP ratio.. with bolt-ons... no internals or turbos. Say, isn't that about the same as the new V8 M3 power/weight ratio?
Why, yes... yes it is...
Now THAT's a performance bargain.

No surprise.
Nissan sells pre production Z's to the big aftermarket parts companies so they can start doing research and designing aftermarket parts for the market. Stillen had a couple of pre production 350Z's that Nissan sold them. Strictly used for R&D for aftermarket performance parts. I know this for a fact since I have been back in the R&D dept of Stillen a couple of times and was shown the cars and told the story.

Yep. The VQ37 in the G37 has proven itself to be quite responsive to mods, with a tune. And now that the AccessPort is out... there's another option besides the TS.
