Nissan 370Z - The Nismo Touch
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 | Car News, Nissan | No Comments
In tipycal Nismo fashion, the track-oriented Nismo 370z is a refined sports performer. Weighin in at 3300 lbs, the roadster is in no way a light weight. Under the hood is a tuned 3.7-liter VQ-series V6, uprated to 350 hp at 7,400 rpm (base Z offers 332 hp at 7,000 rpm) torque is bumped up to 276 lb-ft at 5200rpm (270 stock).
Cosmetic changes are subtle, including a new nose that slopes down lower and about six inches farther than stock, along with a new rear difuser, side skirts and revised dual-plane rear wing - all to improve down force. Nismo 5 spoke 19″ alloys wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport rubbers, sit nicely ontop the 14.0-inch front four-piston aluminum calipers and 13.8-inch rear two-piston aluminum calipers which are controlled by a variable-ratio brake pedal. Suspension upgrades include higher spring rate springs and stiffer shocks.
Overall, at $39,000 Us the Nismo 370Z offers quite the bang for the buck.

Nissan 240sx Short Shifter Install - S13/14 180sx Silvia
Saturday, August 30th, 2008 | 240sx, Nissan | 2 Comments
The product used is a Megan Racing Nissan 89-98 240SX Short Shifter, but this process should apply to most brands (maybe not the B&M).
Parts/ Tools needed:
Socket Wrench, Extender, 10mm Socket, Knife or Razor Blade, Needlenose Plyers, Flathead Screwdriver and Thread Lock.
Other Items Needed: 4 x longer bolts (the ones provided with the short shifter are to short). Basically bring one of the silver brackets from your short shifter to any local Canadian Tire or Home Depot with one of the Allan head bolts and get 4 new ones that are twice as long. Then test that they fit the bracket but screwing them in.
Anew shifter bushing is also recomnded. DO NOT use the one provided in the kit. Simply go to Nissan and order a shifter bushing for any model 240sx, it’s only about $3.00.
