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.

An UPREV tune yielded +10hp/9tq for a total of 283hp/252tq to the wheels:

Joe R was referred to Z Car Garage by long-time customer and Z33 owner “T.C”. Joe’s 2013 370z came to us with just 1900 miles on the odometer ready for some bolt-ons! We installed Fast Intentions Hi-Flow cats, their TDX exhaust system and Stillen intakes:

Stillen Gen3 intakes:


Hi-flow cats from Fast Intentions:

The TDX cat-back exhaust compared to stock:

UPREV tuning yields 311hp/250tq to the wheels:
We think making the rear diffuser black is a must have for any 370z and William’s has been doing this mod for the front (pre-2013) and rear since the Z34 was released:

Gordon came to Z Car Garage for Stillen Gen3 intakes and a Fast Intentions exhaust system. ZCG is a Fast Intentions dealer so please visit the shop if you are interested in their products! Here is the Fast Intentions TDX cat-back exhaust system and Stillen intakes:

The exhaust looks great from the rear:

Stock single muffler vs the TDX dual muffler setup:




Stillen Gen3 Intakes are always a nice addition to the new HR engines:


An UPREV tune maximizes benefits from the enhanced breathing. Peak power jumps by 10hp/9tq to the wheels but the real gains are seen from 3000 to 7500rpm. Dyno shows gains from exhaust + UPREV only:

Enjoy The Ride, Gordon!

Leo P came to Z Car Garage to have AAM (R-line) intakes installed on his 2013 370z. The Z made good power with intakes and tuning but Leo reported the Z was running roughly a few days later. Here are the baseline+initial tune dyno runs:
Rob suggested running Stillen Gen3 intakes and predicted greater power gains with a tune over the AAM setup. Leo’s 370z now makes 318hp/260tq to the wheels, a significant improvement over the AAM setup indeed!

Hideki K brought his ultra-nice Nismo Z33 in for a full Stillen supercharger installation. Unfortunately Stillen did not make a kit specifically for the Nismo edition Z so we purchased a Stillen kit designed for the standard HR motor and made it work for Hideki!
Here are the goodies:


A few shots of the install:



From NA to Forced Induction:

On the dyno the Nismo put down 282hp/246tq and the Stillen kit bumped those figures up to 370hp/272tq to the wheels:

Rob’s tuning yielded significant gains of 22hp/13tq for a grand total of 392hp/285tq to the wheels!

Enjoy the Ride Hideki!
