This is the jacked European guy right? Annoying review which states the obvious. The use case is misguided as the Performance model is targeting grand touring and daily driver. Matt Farah (smoking tire) ran into brake fade, rev limiter and similar suspension instability issues on the track as...

does anyone know why the exhaust varies based on the transmission?

How much did you pick the Nismo intake up for as I may target buying one on sale. I can be patient and wait for those killer 25% off accessories emails and fliers to arrive in the mail.

Not sure why it is this way, but it seems people trust mods more when they are dealer installed. Otherwise, they lower the value of the car. I keep cars for 10 years, so resale isn’t my primary concern.

any idea how much unsparing weight was removed with the two piece rotors on the 2027?

Normally manuals hold up better over time and can handle more power that an aut due to inherent simplicity. However, Sarah-N-Tuned stated in her reviews of both the Nismo 9AT and 6MT performance models that the output torque handling capabilities of the P 9AT are 500lb/ft while the 6MT is 300+...

Dealer installed OEM performance accessories help resale.

This makes sense as the Nissan Consult-III service center firmware was leaked years ago and ported to low cost OBD HW that anyone can obtain online. Smash the sunroof, plug in the dongle, run the "Lost Keys" function and away you go. This is why so many Z/Q/Gs get stolen. The irony is that...

Did they block the port to prevent theft as well? No more Nissan products at takeovers?

I second Stillen as I run these on my car as they seem to understand the FM platform better than most (i.e. bigger is not always better) and will pick up the phone and talk to you about their products if you call (located in SoCal). I also like that they target reuse of the factory sway bar...

The Akenono 4 piston 355mm front calipers are the same on both cars if I'm not mistaken, so the temp spare you would need is the Sport Sedan/Coupe's 18X4" T145/70R18, MPN# 40300-JK00B: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234803374723 Sport model Coupes sometimes come with 19" wheels, but the spare is the...

Another great example of refinement is the FM platform. Circa-2003 launch, yes, but with each new generation Nissan has made improvements. I mean, near center weight distribution with independent double-wishbone in the front with an independent multi-link rear doesn't need reinvention. Toyota...

1.5%....at 22MPG average, that's .33 MPG, which explains why it's hard to notice. But if you are Toyota selling 2M+ cars a year, it's significant. The Honda VCM function that runs on all their VTEC Earth Dreams V-6s is another example: https://www.vcmtuner.com/pages/honda-acura-lawsuit Turn...

I use the term enthusiast to represent anyone that is paying attention to the details.

There is physics/chemistry at work here where friction coefficients and Hershey Numbers (nV/P) interact with one another to fall into a range recommended by the manufacture. Start at 13:21 here as this guy always kills it with his explanations of complex topics: Essentially, it's ok to lower...

Autozone and others provide oil recycling. I take it to the store, and they point me to a large tank in the back.

Agree that Nick is an excellent resource. Very transparent.

You may want to find a local independent car audio shop where you live and talk to someone. Just a bunch of Ohms Law stuff. At a high level, impedance (Ohms) is the load that the amplifier sees. Wattage is the product of the voltage and current, which really equates to how much output the amp...

Hello Everyone. I'm a moderator on MyG37 and owned a 2004.5 G Sport Sedan prior. First post here. Regarding the Bose in the new Z, do any of you know if the Bose amp is the same used in the G37/Q50? Knowing Nissan, I suspect its the same or very similar in its use of a balanced output. If...
