Default Aftermarket?

I'm HIGHLY Considering getting this car however i got a few questions before i take the plunge.

1. Is there any Coilovers available for this car?
2.Aftermarket sway bars?
3.Chassis braces?


And last 3 are:

1.Any exhaust systems or straight pipes to make it louder?
2.Carbon parts for weight saving.
3.Air intake and tuning.

Thanks in advance.

It's a Z. It's got some special parts, but it's the same car. Search and you'll find what products you want and where the best prices are.

Not cranky. Just answered your question twice already. If it works on a regular '07 and newer 350z, it will fit on this car. Whether or not certain things are an improvement or not is a topic of debate, but it all fits.

Any coilover and most swaybars made for the 350Z will work with the Nismo. The only issue with swaybars are clearing of the exhaust, but that shouldn't be a problem.

With welded seams, I'm not sure that additional chassis braces are necessary.

07+ have the bulge/power dome in the hood. There are very limited choices in terms of hoods. Seibon is suppose to release hoods soon, but they are continually delayed. Other CF parts should work with the car.

Technosquare has finalized a reflash on '07+ Zs, but it has yet to be released. Nothing from the likes of Osiris/Uprev as of yet. There is some debate as to whether the aftermarket intakes currently available make any power. It is believed that tuning/software is needed to take advantage of the intakes.

The NISMO Z is said to be "the best handling Z" from the factory, so if change the suspension, you want to make sure you are upgrading. Although, some may just want to lower for looks as the stock height is rather high. My choices for coilovers: Bilstein PSS9s, KW V2s or V3s, Cusco Zero 2s, HKS Hipermax IIIs, Ohlins, Truechoice.

The NISMO may have upgraded swaybars compared to regular Zs, but this is still plenty of roll/lean while cornering. Some swaybars to consider, 350EVO, Cusco, Stillen, Hotchkis....

As mentioned, the NISMO only has an upgraded muffler section. You could get an aftermarket midpipe and y-pipe to make a complete cat-back exhaust. You could also add Test pipes/straight pipes which would indeed make it louder. High flow cats instead of test pipes would also yield good power, but wouldn't be as loud.

The NISMO muffler has rather large tips which go along with the diffuser, so if you change the exhaust, I wouldn't want to go to smaller tips. Some quality exhausts with large tips include the HKS Hi-power, Fujitsubo Legalis R, Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper, Greddy EVOTT....which should all be a good deal louder than stock.
