When the “mod bug” gets to you it’s a hard habit to break! Rich B visited us earlier this year for suspension and breathing upgrades and came back for an ART pipe install and re-tune.

Quicker Nismo: Kevin’s 370z

We love when new customers visit the shop after seeing us out on the track. We met Kevin L and his Nismo 370z at one of Patrick C’s City Tech track days. Kevin wanted a few upgrades to improve acceleration and traction so we installed a shorter R&P and OS Giken limited-slip unit.

The OS Giken 1.5 clutch-type LSD is a more robust, reliable unit than the oem VLSD especially for track duty.


The Nissan OEM 4.08:1 gearset really wakes up the Z’s acceleration off the line…one of the most effective mods you can do. The NISMO finned diff cover helps keep things cooler:

 

Kevin also had his Z tuned at another shop and visited ZCG to get a retune. We picked up +13hp/10tq for a total of 309hp/266tq to the wheels:
