My 350Z...

twenzel · 08-13-2008, 08:18 AM

Hey folks, I thought I would share pics of my previous car. Now with having my 135i as a daily driver I plan to turn this into a dedicated track car...
Suspension:
Stance Coilovers
Swift springs
SPL rear mid-link control arms
350Evo aluminum front upper control arms
Hotchkis F/R sway bars with SPL adjustable end links

Wheels:
Advan RGII
F: 18x9 +22 265/35-18 Falken RT-615
R: 18x10 +25 265/35-18 Falken RT-615

Brakes:
Stoptech Stage 2 upgrade for OEM Brembo brakes

Future Plans are to do some extreme weight trimming an install a full roll cage. I also have a complete Nismo Aero kit and Top Secret rear diffuser sitting in the garage for it.

The car is a blast to drive on lime creek. It will not understeer.

This was one of my favorite cars on gran tourismo! very hot!

AchtungF80 · 08-13-2008, 08:48 AM

Looks perfect just the way it is...leave the body alone imho.

Big Red X's!

BForbes · 08-13-2008, 10:55 AM

Looks good!

adrean8j · 08-13-2008, 12:21 PM

Is it my connection or are the pics not showing up?
I love 350z's BTW...rented one about a year ago and I firmly believe it was the best Japanese car I had ever driven. Great balance with flat cornering(for everyday driving)...if I hadnt been a bimmerphile AND wanted a backseat then I would have purchased this car(still my get one for a DD once I return to the US of A.)

I use to love that car, but now everywhere I look there is one. That and a few more things kept me from getting that.

Agreed. If it's going to be a track car leave the body kit alone. Just more heartache in the end when some contact happens.

Thanks for all the comments!

Here are some pics of me in my last autox with the Z.

adrean8j · 08-13-2008, 02:28 PM

Put the kit on it...you have it already anyway right? And if it is a dedicated track car then you want every advantage you can get.

My 2004 350Z was awesome. Only problem I had in 50,000 miles were with the Bridgestone tires, but the manufacturer/dealer took care of it.

The only thing I don't miss is the rough ride.

I can't wait to see what Nissan does with the new 370Z.

spicv0712 · 08-14-2008, 01:14 AM

You need the Nismo V2 front bumper!!!

lovemywhip · 08-14-2008, 01:24 AM

GQ 135i · 08-14-2008, 12:19 PM

That's got a mean stance.

AchtungF80 · 08-14-2008, 12:35 PM

I wish I coulda kept my 350z, but it would've been redundant to have 2 fun fast RWD cars.

Bahraini135 · 11-07-2008, 05:13 AM

I love it... nice shots

Silo.Granados · 11-14-2008, 06:50 AM

Kudos with the wheels

Not in my place.

Waaay better looking than the 370.

modbargains · 11-14-2008, 01:29 PM
