Japanese tuner Impul has brought exterior, interior, and performance upgrades.
The Nissan Z unmistakably has a contemporary design integrated with styling cues from past models like the Datsun 240Z. But it seems the Japanese tuner Impul is not fond of the Z's sedated look and wants to make it aggressive-looking by introducing its exterior body kits.
While the stock front fascia exudes a clean look, Impul adds striking body kits, starting with the upper spoiler priced at 121,000 yen ($872). It expands the width of the sports car, with the middle part surrounding the grille. The front end can also be installed with a 132,000 yen ($952) splitter with winglets for improved downforce.

The side gets a good amount of kits, including 154,000 yen ($1,110) side skirts, 44,000 yen ($317) fender ducts, and a side view mirror cover in carbon fiber priced at 53,000 yen ($382). At the back, the Impul offers a rear diffuser complete with Impulse mufflers for 231,000 yen ($1,666) and a massive rear wing for 198,000 yen ($1,428).
The vehicle has Impul-badged floor mats for 38,500 yen ($278). It is 100 percent polypropylene, flame-retardant, abrasion-resistant, and durable.
Two performance upgrades under the Impul package for the Z are upgraded brakes with six-piston and four-piston calipers and Ohlins Super Shock. While the former is priced at 1,102,200 yen ($7,947), the latter is still under development.

As for the engine itself, the tuning company hasn't rolled out upgrade packages. But AMS Performance showed the 3.0-liter VR30DDTT twin-turbocharged V6 can be pushed to make approximately 700 horsepower. Consequently, the Z could register a 9.92-second quarter-mile run at 137 mph.
If you find Impul's Nissan Z body kits too aggressive, the Japanese automaker will likely unveil the Z Nismo at ZCON Festival in California. This should bring less aggressive-looking OEMs that intend to appear sportier than non-Nismo variants, along with performance upgrades.
