I live in East Chicago, IN. I just got my 2014 370Z for $11k with 70k miles. I really feel like I got a good deal. Hopefully you will get a good deal too man
@@hoosierproud7718 I used to live in Louisville. I would have come to see you and let you drive mine before I moved away last year! I was in Southern Indiana all the time. You have some pretty sweet back roads over there I used to like driving my 370Z on! Who knows, maybe you saw me drive by a time or two.
i came here from yt shorts and i just came to say, after all these years of hearing how the Z sounds, i have never came across a Z that sounds this great. And when i say that this was the best sounding one is an understatement. the sound is very mature and elegant.
that's because most Z owners don't have or don't spend money on quality parts. Z's are relatively very cheap cars now and most people end up just cutting mufflers off with no resonators added. His is not the best sounding but it is far from the worst because he spent some money on a quality resonated short tail. However, I think you need to hear the sound of a Motordyne catback without the cat delete or even the AAM Resonated Short tail and midpipe.
I have a 2019 370Z sport pkg 6MT which has the following engine modifications: a Stillen Gen 3 long tube CAI, a Fast Intentions 2.5" true dual x-pipe cat back exhaust and an Ecutek tune done on a Dynojet chassis dyno by Specialty Z in Simi Valley, CA. The tune was done with 94 octane gas and we got a uniform increase in torque across the whole rev range of about 15%. We got a peak rear wheel horsepower figure of 321 at 7200 rpm, for a calculated crankshaft value of about 390. I was concerned before about the metal intake pipes picking up heat from the engine bay and might go with wrapping them with some thermal reflective and insulating tape. I did put some forged magnesium wheels on the car from Litespeed Racing in LA, CA. They've shaved off an additional 9 lbs from each corner, as compared to the OEM forged aluminum wheels. The handling performance, braking and acceleration have been noticeably improved from the reduction of unsprung rotational mass.
I love everything you have done to that Nismo! It really dressed it up perfectly. I am usually a "totally stock" type of person with my own 370Z but what you have done to your Nismo looks like it could have been stock on a "special edition Nismo" if Nissan who have ever offered something like that. Really sharp. I like your touches a lot. Nissan should take notice of your car and upgrade the Nismo Z with similar touches.
@@joevanseeters2873 Thanks! The OEM+ look is exactly what I was going for. We talk about it a bit more and how we got here in this video... th-cam.com/video/RdxYJeX5SmM/w-d-xo.html And we interview folks at a Z meet to get their reactions.
I'm currently re-exploring the joys and pains of an old PS2 game *Gran Turismo 4*. It is, indeed, a deep Rabbit hole to explore. B spec training is a bit of a nightmare. What has this got to do with your upload? Quite a bit. You've already been "pulled" for failing to mention Tyres. No grip = No control 😁😁😁 The rest of the showcase is making sense as well. If your ride height is too low and the shocks/dampers are too stiff - that again affects handling. I remember that you thought about Turbocharging but the extra stress to the Gearbox & Engine etc might cause a lot of failures..... something that Im sure you already know. I've seen Audi 200 upgrades and the stock Transmission is not up for a massive jump in Power/Torque. Anyway; great vid Ant 🐜
I just got the 370z nismo same color as yours, and man!!!! I absolutely love this car!!! So many people are like "How did you get that car you look to young" 😆
Damn. I bought my 2016 370Z new and went all in. Fast Intentions turbos and exhaust(with resonators), flex fuel, APRacing BBK, appropriate cooling, diff and suspension mods. Smiles ever since. Didn't even look at the new Z.
Just bought a 2010 6 Mt sport package. I love it. I thought it would be slightly quicker on the low end but it handles and has plenty of top end power. Puts a smile on my face every day
CONGRATS! You'll be surprised at how much a throttle remap will change that feeling on the low end. A big part of that sensation is the amount you have to press the gas to get a response. See 16:37 in the video. The standard map only opens the throttle by 22% at 50% of the pedal. That can create an illusion that the car is lazy off the line.
Put a good intake, exhaust and tune and you can gain close to 60 peak crankshaft horsepower. The stock ECU map runs the engine very lean at low to mid revs and slightly lean at high revs, for emissions and gas mileage. These mods will also significantly boost low and midrange torque, for about a 15% uniform increase in torque across the whole rev range.
Great vid! I had a 350z back in the day and bought a Black Edition 370z last year. I knew I was going to add an exhaust, coil overs and do a remap. I didn't like the look of the front Nismo look either so I went with a non Nismo version, which was about £10k cheaper and added a some minor body styling. I am saving for a Z1 supercharger now 😂
Nice! Yeah, I started with an '05 350Z, then an '09 370Z, then the 2015+ V2 Nismo which I much prefer the look of. There's actually a lot under the skin that's different on the Nismo too. The seats alone are about 8k a pair new. Then there's the extra chassis bracing and dampening and many other tweaks. It's actually great value for what you get. But, each to their own of course.
@@sportzntouring yeah good points. If I had the money I would have gone with the Nismo and Supercharger but I didn't so I had to choose. I went with having more 'POWER!' at some point lol. Great content. Keep up the good work.
Great video, loved the chase cam shots. I like your all around approach to modifications vs just chasing power. For me its exhaust, lowering springs and now chassis stiffening.
I remember watching your videos when you just got V2 and I was dreaming to have one. Few years later I got the same white V2 with 12k miles and been very happy since! Love your videos man! Special thanks to a bee in the performance slide :) made me laugh 😅
Amazing! This comment has made my day! I'm so glad to hear you've been happy with your Nismo, and it sounds like you had to put in the work to get it... So, that's even more heart warming to hear. I'm glad you spotted the bee. So random that it flew into shot at that moment 🤣
It's an awesome car isn't it! I have a black v2 Nismo. Worth every penny. I wish I could drive the heck out of it and keep it pristine, but that's not possible so I DRIVE it haha
When you were shopping for the white Nismo, out of curiosity, was there a black Nismo sitting next to it? :) I suspect you took the one I was eyeballing at Glyn back in the day
@@sportzntouring Eye for details :) Very small world comrade, there are not that many idiots who shop for a Z haha. I am on my 2nd one, does say a lot haha
I'm making a carbon fiber front and rear emblem if you're interested. Still working through the process but I have a perfect mold right now. I'll make a post under my build section in the370z forum, where I found this video. Also, the insta360 cam looks pretty awesome. Nice work on the video quality. Not a bad list for standard modifications.
Suggestion: I would eliminate the spacers since it wears on your suspension. The engineers at Nissan did a really god job on the entire geometry of the car. The Hotchkis sway bars installed would stiffen up the car and you can adjust the stiffness to your likeness since they are thicker in girth over stock and come powder coated. Spirited driving around corners would be as flat as a pancake. Your suspension wear using spacers could be eliminated.
Beautiful car. Saw yours on Jay Em motors. Thinking of buying a 370Z Nismo myself. What oil change intervals do you do? What are the weak points (heard the slave cylinder is one) but anything I should be looking out for?
@@craig357 cool. It's changed a fair bit since then. Regarding your questions, oil change is about 9000 miles or annually. I rarely do those miles in a year so I have that done annually. Weak points... Ive not experienced any specific typical issues, except the clicking that comes from the wheel hubs. That's a straight forward extra servicing task but isn't needed often. Clutch slave cylinders are known to be a weak point as they're plastic but I've not experienced that issue personally (35k miles now). Other than that, it will depend on the history of the car, which will be a bit of a gamble like any car. Otherwise, nothing specific to any known weaknesses surfaced so far.
If you're in the UK, the KW kit is via Abbey Motorsport (as mentioned in the video). The front splitter and side skirts were from Carbon Signal in Dubai. The rear carbon diffuser was from Fly1 in the US. And the rear spoiler lip was from Yatt in Thailand, via Facebook.
What cats did you put on your Nismo specifically? I have a V2 Nismo and I’m about to have mine tuned with the ecutek and it will have a flame/pop tune but I’m worried that tune with roast aftermarket cats so I’m not sure it’s worth getting any?
I have Cobra HFCs. They lasted about 30,000 miles then I had to replace them. I wouldn't do it on stock cats... They'll get eaten up way faster and are too restrictive. Your tuner should advise you against it.
Yeah, actually I should have included that, but I guess I don't think of that as a mod, even though technically it is... I'm running the SC7s : th-cam.com/video/se-lhtprdvg/w-d-xo.html
The build is looking clean. I have the same one and honestly short tails are lame. I have the 3 inch full GT Haus Meistershaft with custom 5 inch tips double rolled. The exhaust sounds insane. However i wanted a tune with flames so i had to get rid of my cats for motordyne catless artpipes and with the exhaust i have it is definitely a bit to loud but im not the one to complain so i dont mind it but for the average joe itll be to loud.
Great question! I think it depends on your budget more than anything else. I'd choose later cars personally... But if that's not leaving much cash for mods then you'll have to find the best car you can that fits your budget.
You can if you want to. But, there's more to the handling than just suspension. There's additional damped chassis bracing and anti roll bars.. The exhaust on the Nismo is still pretty quiet and you'll need to map the car to fully exploit it. Check out the Nismo catalogue, see what you'd like... But, it would likely be cheaper to trade up to a Nismo than go to town on the parts catalogue, depending on how far you want to go.
In terms of handling, if you're willing to sacrifice that lift feature of KW V3, you could get a lot better coilovers (ThunderLane, MCA or Z1 R-Pro) and FUCA and then proper wheel alignment. That plus wider wheels with square setup for 265 or 285 tyre will change the handling dramatically.
Is this the setup you have? I'm curious about the wheel specs. That's very much on the list of things to do. Do tell us more or DM us on Instagram with a link if you have more info somewhere.

@@sportzntouring I’m interested of upgrading my Nissan 370zGT with a Nismo parts if is possible! Like suspension, and exhaust system!
