A few months back I completed a Nismo front bumper swap on my '24 Performance, however, I've noticed that the top of the bumper doesn't quite align flush with the front fender on the passenger side. Driver's side is basically perfect. At first I assumed a clip or something might have gotten a...
So far I have the following upgrades installed on my Z:
-CZP Heat Exchanger
-CZP Oil Cooler
-CZP Lower Oil Pan
-Z1 Catch Can w/ drain kit
-Stillen Sway Bars
-Nismo LM-RS1 wheels + Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 tires
I am leaning towards Stillen comp exhaust, AMS intake, LDP (undecided...
This month I've picked up a few parts from Concept Z as they're (somewhat) local to me. When doing my research, their CZP-branded products seemed pretty well regarded by the Z community, so with the sales they've been running I decided to pull the trigger on their heat exchanger and oil cooler...
I recently purchased the CZP heat exchanger, I'm hoping to get their oil cooler soon as well to mitigate the triple digit heat here during the summertime...once I have those parts, the tentative plan is to go intakes (Z1 Carbon), exhaust (Stillen Comp or MBRP), possibly downpipes (not sure which...
I'm going to have my front bumper off in the near future here, and I am considering upgrading the heat exchanger (maybe adding the CZP oil cooler as well) during that time. Living in AZ it was apparent that the heat out here this past summer was not ideal for the stock setup, so I think it's...
Selling my factory OEM front bumper cover and grill from my 2024 Nissan Z Performance, it is pearl white ("Everest White") and in perfect, like-new condition. Bought the car in April of 2025 and had it PPF'd right away. The only reason I'm selling is because I decided to swap an aftermarket...
I'm trying to compare stock heights of the lowest part of the Sport/Performance front bumper vs the Nismo front bumper. Specificially, where it would make contact first if you were to bottom out as you're pulling out of a parking lot, or a scenario where you're going down a slight to moderate...
I'm trying to get a better understanding of how this works, so apologies in advance as I'm new to the VR30, the only platform I've ever dabbled with tuning in the past was a 2007 Subaru WRX STi. For that platform the path of least resistance is generally regarded as the Cobb Accessport, where...
So my dash was showing 122 degree temps outdoors today here (official number was 118) in Phoenix, one of the hottest days so far this summer. I was driving for about 30 minutes around 1pm, stopped to run an errand for about 30 minutes with the car off and parked in the shade, then got back on...
I've decided to pull the trigger on some sway bars...I've been reading through some of the conversations here and it seems like there are some fans of Stillen, Z1, and Whiteline with the Nismo option being less of a preference due to some QC issues. After pricing them out, this is where I'm at...
I've never really felt the need to modify the suspension in previous cars I've owned so I am not particularly knowledgeable in this department. I daily my Z and don't want a super stiff, spine-jarring, track-tuned suspension...it's unlikely this car will ever see any track days. However, I would...
One thing I hadn't considered when I bought my Z was where to go for maintenance. I generally had positive interactions with the team at Earnhardt Lexus back when I had my RCF and I got used to what was overall pretty solid service. Nissan has not been particularly impressive for me in the...
or does this motor sound like a sewing machine? I mean, completely underwhelming exhaust aside (6mt here), the engine just sounds like a combination of ticking, clicking, and whirring. When I pull up in a drive through it is especially noticeable, but even just next to other cars at a stop...
Back when I had my '07 STi a friend of mine convinced me that I should turn the key to the "On" position and wait a second or two until I heard the fuel pump "prime" or kick in, and only THEN continue to turn the key all the way to the "Start" position to fire the engine. He said this was better...
