Talk about quick off the mark. Nissan’s all-new Z34 370Z may have only been on sale in Japan for just two days, but a range of aftermarket options has already appeared on the scene. Nissan’s in-house tuning company Nismo has rolled out its S-Tune package for the 370Z, bringing even wilder styling, sharper handling and a smidgen more power to the curvy coupe.
On the outside there’s a lower lip spoiler and nose extension piece for the front bumper, wider and more deeply sculpted side skirts, a huge wing on the hatch and a pair of rear ‘under protectors’ round back. The S-Tune also gets a set of 19-inch Nismo rims, with a staggered setup making the rear hoops wider than the fronts and helping them fill out those massive fenders.
Performance mods are relatively light, with a Weldina stainless-steel exhaust being the only power-adder. Handling is perhaps where the S-Tune really shows its worth though. With Nismo-tuned dampers, stiffer springs, grippier S-Tune brake pads and no less than three chassis-reinforcing braces installed, the S-Tune should be just the thing for attacking a winding mountain road.
Prices for all these parts are still a mystery, but for us they’d be largely irrelevant: the Nismo 370Z S-Tune is a Japan-only proposition for now and there are no plans for export. Bummer.

Urk. Not a fan of the exterior styling AT ALL. Give me the S-Tune performance parts but just put them in a standard 370Z body.
Agree with Jared J. 370Z looks the bizz, a true Boxter/Cayman alternative, engine mods are ok, but the tacky Fast and the Furious bodykit will only devalue the image.
When did Nismo’s design department go blind?
OTT. The Domestic (Japanese) market will love it.
