Kawasaki, Japan based J-NEXT have launched a sweet range of quality urethane aero tuning parts for the 370z recently. Being polyurethane based they’re strong and flexible and resistant to cracking.
This makes the material ideal for the application of vehicle body parts and lower lips especially since they’re so prone to “driveway encounters”.
Japanese tuning legends Power House Amuse have come up with a range of their trademark top shelf quality exhausts for the new Nissan 370z. Launching in Japan this week they come in two main styles.
The first is the Power House Amuse R1 Titan Extra STTI. This features a 76.3mm main pipe diameter feeding into pair of 2x 50mm internal diameter mufflers before finally exiting out a pair of 115mm tips. This total system weighs in at 9.15kg which is less than half the weight of the 18.65kg standard exhaust. It’s available in the standard version for 239,400 yen or a “Gold Ring” version for 249,900 yen.
Next is the RS-Silent STTI muffler which is a little different, firstly a 76.3mm collector splits into 2x60mm pipes which make their way towards the rear mufflers through a pair of resonators. The rear mufflers have an internal diameter of 60mm and again the end in a pair of 115mm tips. This system is quieter but you pay for it in weight and material costs. Weighing in at 10.3kgs it starts at 333,900 yen for the standard version or 344,400 yen for the “Gold Ring” version.
STILLEN has completed their new intake for the 370z. Called the Generation 3 Ultra Long Intake – Gen3 for short – it’s good for an additional 17.5 hp on a standard Z.
While these may appear, at first glance, like a set of pod filters on a set of pipes, they actually extend further than your standard airbox. This results in them pulling colder outside air from just in front of the radiator and not from inside your hot engine bay. Smart eh.
Priced at $549 they’re available now online from the STILLEN website.
Mine’s have announced this week that the awaited and coveted Mine’s ESTA suspension is now available for the Nissan 370z / Fairlady Z Z34. The suspension is available in two specifications at different price levels depending on the springs chosen.

Central 20, one of the premier Z tuners in Japan, have again broadened their range of tuning parts for the Z34 recently with the development and release of an ECU update and a set of exhaust manifolds for the VQ37VHR engine.
The Central 20 Super Computer is a flash update to the standard ECU that provides several functions. The speed limiter is removed, timing, CVT and eVCT maps are also modified. The result is a increase in torque at the low end and higher peak power. Response is also improved throughout the rev range. The ECU update is available for both manual and auto Z34′s. Price is 94,500 yen for the fully tuned ECU update or just 42,000 yen if you just want the speed limiter removed.
The next product release is the Central 20 High Power Manifolds. These 48.6 mm diameter main pipes lead into a single 60 mm pipe. These are designed to again increase torque and power and are well matched to the other Central 20 exhaust components.
HKS have released their Racing Suction intake kit for the Nissan 370z this week. The Racing Suction kit replaces the standard airboxes completely with a pair of HKS foam type air filters and a aluminium hard piping kit.
