The Nissan Dealer made me do it - My build thread

The journey wasn't too bad time wise so we arrived early and they were still polishing the car but the results and wait were worth it!!

I know there ain't many fans out there of the Stillen bumper but I wanted a subtle change to the car without going overboard (says he with candy apple red wheels :D ) and think the results are excellent

What do you think?

The journey home with the supercharger fitted was excellent

Plenty of power and a nice growl from the Invidia and decats but not too bad in the car at 70mph

Thanks to Jez at Horsham for an excellent mapping/tune

 

With the frozen boost cooler fitted the car ran at 80 degrees all the way home and only rose slightly to 90 when pushed on the twistys near home

Thank you to Adrian at Torqen (who has become a good friend also) for all his efforts even though you forgot the Zed badge ;)

 

And to Taras and his crew at RT Performance in Wembley for an absolutely faultless and stunning job. Highly recommended

So to summarise

The Nissan dealer offering me pittance for the car against a Nismo has given me the opportunity to have something completely different styling and performance wise and spend my money where Nissan should have done it with the 370 Nismo by adding a big power output.

 

Very happy chap now

Although it has cost more than a Nismo to do this ;)

Utterly stunning mate !

 

Completely changed my thoughts on the stillen front bumper .... Looks brilliant in white !

 

Love it :)

 

What did you make on the dyno? And did you go uprev or ecutek?

 

Also when talking about 80 -90 degrees ... I guess that's coolant temps?

I wonder what those wheels (colour) would look like on black rose :blush:

 

you also need to swap those Torqen brakes out for a different colour - they get lost in there - a nice bright blue or yellow I think B)

 

but otherwise wow - liking that a lot :thumbs:

Thanks, It made 465 on the dyno, I'm still waiting for the printout. It was uprev

The temps were from the oil temp gauge on the dash, engine temp just below normal

Thanks for that,

I know what you mean about the calipers but I didn't realise I was going to go red with the wheels they are red anodised so it would mean changing the calipers and I've spent enough

 

As regards red wheels on a black Zed I think would look excellent

Wow! is that at 8psi?

Makes me wonder why I'm about to go turbo. 465 whp is more than enough :lol:

That's like +70% over stock, upper safe limit. Brilliant, m8!

René, yours will be over 550bhp, easily :lol:

I was thinking, since my Greddy Profec has low and high boost settings, we set my low to 420whp=500bhp for daily use with longevity in mind, and high at 500whp=600bhp for the occasional dare. What do you think?

There'd still be scramble mode for double dare... 550whp?
