STILLEN 350Z Preview
Article by Don Weberg
STILLEN - Known as the Nissan tuners, STILLEN has been working diligently on learning how all of the intricate systems of the new 350Z have been designed to work. This extensive research has led to a line of components with the high quality expected from STILLEN to properly tune the Z to live up to its maximum potential.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE:
Thus far, STILLEN has developed a new supercharger that pumps considerably more horsepower and torque from the 3.5-Liter. Still undergoing testing, the Supercharger will not only be the most exciting performance booster to have, but a reliable one to boot. After going through several prototypes, STILLEN has also produced a true Cat-Back exhaust system tacking on 13-horsepower at 5,600 RPM to its stock 287. At press time, STILLEN Full-Length Headers were undergoing testing, but are certain to push the 3.5-Liter over 300-horsepower:

SUSPENSION:

Keeping the Z stuck to the road, more rigid front and rear sway bars have been developed. Bolt-on applications, the bars feature a 5-way adjustable design, which offers drivers the ability to tailor suspension stiffness from 7- to 70-percent. A sway bar set perfect for the boulevard, or the track.

BRAKES:
In the interest of stopping the 350Z, STILLEN has worked with AP Racing to produce two brake systems to satisfy a variety of drivers and budgets. One is comprised of one-piece, 13-inch Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors, and 4-Piston Calipers; the second kit offers two-piece, 14.25-inch Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors, and huge 6-Piston Calipers. Of course, High-Performance Pads, stainless steel lines, and aircraft aluminum mounting hardware are part of each kit.

AERODYNAMICS:
To give the 350Z a more unique, aggressive look, STILLEN has developed a body kit featuring a Front Fascia, Side Rocker Mouldings, and a Rear Valance. Owners can choose between the flush classic style Side Rockers, or Ducted Rockers helping to create a truly unique 350Z. Also fresh out of the STILLEN design studio is a new fiberglass hood. The Hood offers plenty of room to fit the top-mounted Supercharger, but for a more economical approach, STILLEN also offers a Hood Scoop. If you have opted for a Supercharger, a raised hood is required, and the Hood Scoop is an excellent alternative to the Fiberglass Hood. Much like owners of SMZ 300ZX Sports Cars of the 1990s, 350Z owners can experience the entire Z performance-building process by STILLEN. Excellent power, agility, and good looks; after all, what's big power without the ability to handle it all?
