STILLEN VQ35HR 350Z & G35 Supercharger Now Available

STILLEN 07-09 NISSAN 350Z SUPERCHARGED SATIN (4)

STILLEN is proud to announce the availability of the 2007-2008 350Z supercharger kit for the dual throttle body VQ35HR powered Nissan 350Z.

350zsupercharger_0006

This STILLEN supercharger system took over a year to develop and involves revolutionary designs to offer customers easy upgradability and installation.

STILLEN Nissan 350 HR STILLEN SUPERCHARGED (10)

With this supercharger system, power for the 350Z and G35 is boosted to 450 horsepower at the crank (or 360-375whp), and this system won’t give you a hard time when you need to smog, because these kits are CARB Exempt. Thanks to that CARB Exempt EO#, this means when smog – or inspection – rolls around, your car is 100% emissions legal. Since California is the strictest state in the union when it comes to emissions, if it passes CA standards, it probably will pass your local regulations. (Be sure to check your local laws to ensure you’re compliant anyways)

Air to water intercooler: By redesigning the intake manifold we were able to incorporate the intercooler inside the manifold, thus allowing us to cool the air charge immediately before the air enters the engine.

On the dual throttle body VQ35HR engines found in 2008-09 Nissan 350Z and 2008-09 Infiniti G35, power is slightly lower than the VQ37HR, due to the engine being smaller and the fact that VQ37HR has VVEL whereas the VQ35HR does not. Power output is typically around 450 horsepower to the crank (stock is 300hp to the crank), which ends up working out to around 360whp, in most cases.

Additionally, the front mounted heat exchanger does not block the airflow supplying cool air to other vital coolers such as the radiator, engine oil cooler, transmission cooler, power steering cooler or the A/C condenser.

Because water is 4 times more efficient at dissipating heat than air, we are able to utilize a more compact heat exchanger to cool the water.

** Individual results will vary based on the baseline of the stock engine, type of dynamometer used, temperature, elevation, fuel and various other factors.

We put hours of testing and development into ensuring this kit performs as well on the 350Z and G35 as it does on the 370Z.

Supercharged Silver 350Z on Dyno-1

We offer this kit in 2 versions – the Tuner Kit, which does not include the tuner cable, tune file or license and assumes you’ve already got those items – and the Tuned Kit, which includes the tuner cable, a custom tune file and tuning support from STILLEN. Available in your choice of Satin, Polished and Black Powdercoated Finishes for the Supercharger and chargepipes.

Holman Infiniti x STILLEN Body Styling!

front 3-4 2

Since the early days when we offered STILLEN-modified 25th Anniversary Edition Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo models through new car dealerships in the 90s, STILLEN has had a long history of offering our quality parts in new car showrooms. That’s still true today as STILLEN proudly offers our products through new car dealerships around the country.  This relationship builds a great foundation for our customers, offering them a trusted local source who will install and service their performance parts and gives enthusiasts the peace of mind that they are protected by the factory, dealership and/or STILLEN warranty.

Holman Infiniti in Maple Shade, New Jersey recently upgraded one of their showroom model 2017 pure white Q50S luxury sedans with the full suite of STILLEN body styling components.

Kevin Shaw (Parts Manager at Holman Infiniti) had this to say,

“For this go around we started with a new for 2017 color Pure White Q50S. With that base I added an Infiniti Midnight Black Grille accompanied by the STILLEN Sport Front Bumper Splitter for 2014-2017 Infiniti Q50 V37 (KB11225) finished in Matte Black. The side profile of the car was followed up with the STILLEN Rocker Panel Side Skirt Extensions for 2014-2017 Infiniti Q50 V37 (KB11228MB) in Matte Black. Then to finish the aggressive look I added a STILLEN Rear Valance Diffuser for 2014-2017 Infiniti Q50 V37 (KB11222MB) finished in Matte Black, an Infiniti Sport Exhaust with the no muffler option and Infiniti rear mudguards the we had wrapped in Matte Black vinyl by a local shop. Overall, the car looks absolutely stunning on our showroom floor and I could not be happier with it. Probably my favorite one so far! “

The team at Holman Infiniti has done a great job on this build and we look forward to seeing what they come up with on their future cars!  Make sure to stop by and check out the car for yourself and see what kind of great deal they can offer you on this amazing car!

The Nissan Titan has a lot of strengths, but as countless owners know, one of them is not the factory OEM radiator.  It’s combination of aluminum and plastic end tanks do one thing really well, and that is crack, dumping all of the engine coolant, leaving you helpless and stranded.

950-77345 & 77346

Plastic endtanks failing is nothing new, they’re less expensive for OEMs than an aluminum unit, but long term, those plastic endtanks are a recipe for failure. When those plastic endtanks inevitably crack and fail (cos they will), it sure sucks – for most that meant getting towed to the dealership, paying upwards of $600 for a new radiator and you’re on your way right? Well sure, the first time… and then it happens again, the plastic end tanks crack and void the contents of the cooling system on the ground below. By the way, coolant isn’t exactly cheap – and it keeps getting pricier every year.

STILLEN has long offered the solution to the headache of constantly-failing Nissan Titan radiators for years, designing and having CSF Radiators produce an all-aluminum 2-row performance radiator, which has been a lifesaver for Titan owners stuck replacing their radiators over and over again – but we’re always looking to make things even better and we’ve improved things once again!

Meet the Premium High-Performance Aluminum Radiator

Nissan Titan Radiator

In 2013, a brand new drop-in replacement Premium High-Performance Aluminum Radiator for the 2004-2013 Nissan Titan, Armada and Infiniti QX56 features a 3-row thick core, and holds twice as much coolant as the factory radiators!

The construction is all-aluminum, and designed to improve reliability, airflow, total cooling and also comes with an internal transmission oil cooler just like the OE unit.  The Premium High-Performance Aluminum Radiator for Nissan Titan, Pathfinder Armada and QX56 is designed as a factory-style replacement for ease of installation, featuring drop-in fitment like the factory unit, and backed by a 3-year warranty.

Even with all of these improvements for the 2013 version, we were able to keep the price identical to the CSF 2-row version! For those on a budget or just want exact OEM replacements, we also offer an OEM Style Replacement Radiator for Titan as well.

GOT RUBBER?

You know, your Titan’s getting older – and rubber doesn’t really age well. If you’re already in it for a radiator, it’s a great time to replace your hoses as well. Your OEM Rubber hoses are probably dry-rotted pretty good by now, so it’s great preventive maintenance. Available as a 6-piece kit with Upper & Lower Radiator Hoses, Reservoir Tank Hoses, Water Hose, and Thermostat Assembly or as a 3-piece kit with just the upper and lower radiator hoses and Water Hose.

Need a Premium High-Performance Aluminum Radiator for your Titan, Armada or QX56? Call us now at 866-250-5542, chat live with our experts right on the webpage at STILLEN.com, or stop by the showroom any time during business hours to order, or if you have questions or concerns.

GTR_brake_cooling_kit_fullsize s

After months of testing and road racing, STILLEN is proud to announce the availability of the first Active Brake Cooling Package made specifically for the R35 Nissan GT-R.

This kit has been shown to reduce rotor temperature on the AP Racing Carbon Ceramic Brake Upgrade by over 200 degrees F, and is also extremely effective for those running standard OEM Iron, or the AP Racing Curved Vane Rotor Upgrades. STILLEN is proud to offer an active brake cooling option for R35 GT-R owners looking to improve track times and lower brake temperatures. These kits are for use with both traditional iron rotors, as well as the STILLEN Carbon Ceramic Matrix Brake Kit.

During the development of the STILLEN GT R Targa rally car Team STILLEN worked very closely with the engineers at AP Racing to develop the first aftermarket Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit in the world. One of the key components of that kit was brake cooling. Carbon Ceramic Brakes have an ideal operating temperature range where they perform at their best. Carbon Ceramic Brakes work well when cold however their true performance shines through during repeated hard, high temperature braking. However, there is a temperature threshold which should not be exceeded. During the development of the kit the engineers at AP Racing asked what we would be doing for brake cooling. We were open to all input from AP and their instructions were to use external fans directing air to the rotors and calipers. They said regardless how hot the air is coming off the engine, it’s a lot cooler than the heat coming off the rotors.

To test the performance of the STILLEN Active Brake Cooling Kit, we went to El Toro Air Force Base with temperature sensors on each rotor and caliper. We performed the tests with the active cooling on one side of the car, and not the other. We performed a series of 140-0 runs as well as laps around our test track. We also put temperature sensor stickers on each caliper that act just like temperature paint for the rotor. As the temperature of the caliper increases it burns off parts of the sticker so we know how hot the caliper is running. After all of the data was collected and analyzed we determined that with this brake cooling kit we successfully reduced rotor temperatures by over 200 degrees.

The STILLEN brake cooling kit is offered as a separate front and rear kit.

GT-R Front Active Brake Cooling System
GTR308395 STILLEN GT-R FRONT BRAKE COOLING KIT 1

The front brake cooling kit consists of a weather resistant electric fan, mounting brackets, wiring kit and switch, and poly-urethane air diversion splitter.

GT-R Rear Brake Cooling System

The rear cooling kit utilizes polyurethane air scoops which work in conjunction with the factory NACA ducts in the belly pan to route air to the braking system, and also features polyurethane air funnels, accordion tube and all necessary mounting bracketry.

It’s important to note that during our testing we also found that with the VDC off, the rear brake cooling isn’t 100% necessary. Because brakes work better with a bit of heat in them, we prefer to leave the rear brake cooling kit off of the car when Steve Millen drives, because he does not utilize the VDC control system. If you are like 99% of the owner’s of GT-R’s and are not in fact, a professional racing driver, you more than likely utilize the VDC function and therefore, we would suggest the rear brake cooling system.

These kits, while developed to aid in the necessary cooling for the Carbon Ceramic Brake setup, this kit is also extremely effective in lowering caliper/rotor temperatures for both stock iron rotor setups, as well as the AP Racing iron rotor upgrades.

For detailed information on the design and testing of the STILLEN Active Brake Cooling Package, please visit the STILLEN website for much more information.

A few months ago STILLEN received the phone call from a Nissan GT-R owner with a simple inquiry…  “Can you turn my GT-R into a track only race-car?  Something I can drive occasionally on the street but it will be primarily a car for track days.”  Well, after a two month build process, numerous track events, and many, many pleased calls from the customer, we are proud to say that we delivered!

STILLEN is excited to announce the release of our premier Nissan GT-R Exhaust System.  After numerous systems were designed, fabricated and tested; Steve Millen selected this configuration as the one to put into production.

GTR504380_stillen-gt-r-exhaust-studio_001

Meeting all of his criteria for power, sound and appearance this cat-back system uses 504 Stainless Steel, is TIG welded throughout, 27% lighter than stock (30 lbs versus 41 lbs for stock) and results in an aggressive (but not obtrusive) tone.

GTR504380_stillen-gt-r-exhaust-black_Oncar_rear_002

The custom fabricated quadruple 5″ tips really fill the factory exhaust cutouts in the rear fascia and the etched STILLEN logos let everyone know that your R35 is tuned by the GT-R experts.

It’s not every day that we release our Nissan 370Z demo car into the wild but when the guys from The Smoking Tire asked to stop by and take the car for a spin we had to oblige!  Matt Farah has been here before and went for a spin with Steve in the team STILLEN GT-R Targa rally car.  During that visit Matt saw the 370Z in multiple pieces as it was receiving the STILLEN treatment.  After multiple phone calls, emails, and text messages we were able to schedule a visit for Matt to get into the drivers seat of a STILLEN tuned 370Z.

 

Or check out the video at TheSmokingTire.com.

This car has been reworked from the inside out and from front to back.  With KW Variant III coil overs, STILLEN adjustable sway bars, SPC adjustable control arms, AP Racing brakes, Enkei GTC-01 wheels and Toyo R888 tires, STILLEN 370Z Cat-back exhaust, 370Z supercharger (CARB EXEMPT EO# D-436-20 and warrantied) to the STILLEN 370Z Bodykit In Urethane along with the Seibon carbon fiber hood.

All of these upgrades work together brilliantly to create an extremely capable and devastatingly quick Z. The 370Z’s notoriously underwhelming brakes have been replaced with a high performance set from AP Racing. The ride height has been dropped even further using a set of KW V3 Adjustable Coilovers paired with a set of STILLEN Adjustable Sway Bars and Adjustable Control Arms. To help ensure the suspension and brakes can effectively do their job, a set of ENKEI GTC-01 Wheels wrapped in Toyo R888 Tires helps get all 500 ponies to the ground.
