you should just put it on yourself, there's a write up on here on how to do it.

Can't those mods void your manufacturer's warranty? (especially since nissan's installing it) *Edit* Congrats on the purchase. Your car will now be officially faster than Richie's.

Why did you buy an 08 z with an auto?

if you into the racing and perfomance ?

[R350Zz33]

because it was part of the deal. and most high performance drag cars are auto

[spitalul2bad]

that's because they have tuned auto 'boxes with split-second gear changes. the nissan's auto isn't even close to a racing car's auto 'box.

[NissanFairladyZ32]

You can hold out every gear in a 6 speed

therefor.. more power

350z is not a drag car

[ryan_g35]

Yeah man its easy when you have a automatic to do all the work for you (palm to face)you fail almost everytime you make comments like that.. please don't make everybody on here hate us younger kids with nice cars..

[BusyBadger]

Don't worry, its not an age thing, its an intelligence thing.

i have to disagree.. smithtown nissans performance shop has a drag 350z in the shop on stands...

and i woulda done it myself but when i bought the exhaust through them i got it shipped and instlled for 869 bcuz they had a monthly special on random s*** erry month tanabe exhaust is like almost 1100 bucks just shippd... so i hadda take it

[NissanFairladyZ32]

ok but a stock 350z auto

is not a drag 350

[ryan_g35]

Yeah I understand what your saying. I just don't how anybody complete a** of theirselves everytime they get on the computer. Sorry just my .02 cents

But to the op, which tanabe exhaust did you get? I have read that they sound amazing and from the videos on youtube i would have to agree.

[R350Zz33]

i can hold out ever gear two want me to show u?

[Red coupe]

i can hold out ever gear two want me to show u?

No, not really...

You are missing the point. First off the power loss (Nissan) between an automatic and a manual is quite a bit. Your drivetrain is terrible at getting the power to the pavement. A manual 350z/G35 loses about 25%. That is the difference between the 285 HP that is rated at the crank, and the 214 HP that is actually at the tires on the dyno. You can guarantee that the automatic has at least another 5% loss if not more.

A Transmission used in a high performance drag car (Pro Street or Super Street) is in many cases, a highly built Powerglide Transmission. If not that, I would say that a Turbo350 or 400 is the next choice, however the amount of money invested in those is rediculous. They still lose in the 15% range on the HP.

If you want to have some fun on the weekends, enjoy your car at the drag strip. If you want to have a drag car, buy a classic American muscle car with a big block. If you want to drag race an Import, buy a Honda, gut it so it weighs nothing, and build the hell out of it.

The 350z is not a drag car. Especially not with an automatic.

[snwbrdr435]

Wow well said Noah well said

[NSRsheets]

Congratulaions on the purchase. Can't wait for some pics and a video.

[NissanFairladyZ32]

the auto transmission is has also more weight then the 6 speed

[R350Zz33]
