Well, not exactly in chronological order here (I did one major aesthetic change to my ride before this happened, will show later on the blog), but after hanging for a while on the Costa Rica Nissan owners forum (take a look at http://www.nismoclubcr.com/foro/ , it is only in Spanish) I decided to take the Z for a spin at AMD Dynamometer, the best in the country as far as I know.
These were the results, which I am quite pleased with, considering that the car was completely stock at the moment. 238 WHP / 240 WTQ... time to get some performance toys! It seems that the torque line is a bit rough and that can be smoothed out with some simple bolt-ons. The HP's go smooth enough and we only need to gain a few more at the highest area of the chart. As for the F/A relation, I received a recommendation to get a fuel management system from A'Pexi or maybe the E-Manage; we will see.
By this time, another Tico Z owner, Arturo Z (AKA Azrlee) had directed me to the huge forums of 350 Motoring (http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/) a great place to hang out and get ideas on how to modigy your car. Excellent people and quite cooperative!
