If you have followed the blog for awhile you have certainly seen our customer’s cars receive some rare equipment.  Our latest rarity is this Power House Amuse full titanium cat-back system for the 350z, in this case a very clean NISMO edition.  This car has already been treated with a host of upgrades including a beautiful set of Volk TE37 wheels, Injen intake system, and a Tanabe coilover suspension for that perfect stance.

Along with the Amuse exhaust we installed a full complement of Defi gauges to keep track of the engine vitals.  The A-pillar now contains oil pressure and temperature gauges that are accompanied by a programmable tachometer with shift light and memory functions.  Pretty trick pieces if you are looking for a more exact reading than the stock units which are notoriously in inaccurate.

Getting back to the exhaust, the build quality is amazing.  I hope that some of the close-up pictures can show you what I’m talking about, and being made fully of Ti helps take quite a few pounds off of the car.  One part that did need quite a bit of modification was in the area of the evap. system for the fuel tank.  Custom brackets had to be made to move the system out of the way of the exhaust and then the wiring and hoses needed to be lengthened and then heat wrapped for extra insurance.  It came out really clean and stock appearing after Fred worked his magic (like he always does.)

From the dyno graph you can see that we were able to coax a bit more power out of the car which is always a plus, but this system shines in so many other areas that it would be downright wrong to judge it on numbers alone.  To our surprise, sound-wise the car isn’t much louder than the parts that we replaced although it is a bit more aggressive.

I have a good feeling that this car will be back for a few more modifications so don’t be too surprised if you see it gracing your computer screen in the future.  Until we meet again…

Here are a few pictures of the suspension for the Behemonth RB28 project after powder coating and anodizing.  The pictures really don’t do it justice, everything came out perfectly.

The goal is to have the car rolling around on it’s own feet wheels by the first part of next week.  Hopefully i’ll have some more pictures for you soon.

I know this is a little late notice but there will be a ZONC car corral at the event this weekend.   The corral tickets are no longer available as far as I know, but it is always worth a shot to send the powers that be over at ZONC.org an email just to make sure.  Anyways, I hope to see a few of you there.

I’ll have a few more things up soon.  ZCG

Here is the dyno printout for the OLD engine in the 300ZX TT in the post below.  The new engine is supposed to make a healthy bit more.  We can’t wait for the break-in miles to be completed so we can make some power!!!

(I just realized that the graph is in MPH for the rollers and not RPM for the engine, sorry.  I’ll change it next time I’m at the shop)

It seems like we have been getting quite a few long-term project cars out of the door recently, and there are more on the way!!  This car has been in our family for a long time now and we have released it back into the wild to gain a few break-in miles before it comes back for its final tune.

This beautiful white 300ZX Twin Turbo is bound to make some huge power in the near future with it’s freshly rebuilt and upgraded engine.  I’m not going to spill any more details until I have a final post ready with dyno runs so you will just have to wait a little while longer, sorry.  If I recall correctly this car made a healthy amount over 600 wheel horsepower with the last engine, I’ll try to find a dyno print out in the next day or so.  Enjoy the new pictures and the suspense for the time being.

HERE is another post with some more photos of this car.
