Hi Z guys! It’s been years since I’ve participated in a automotive forum much less had a “build” thread. I think the last one was with my rock crawler buggy on Pirate 4x4.com back in ‘08-‘10.

Anyways, I’ve had several Nissan/Infiniti cars since 2005, started with a 2006 G35 coupe then a 2011 G37 coupe, several sedans and now this ‘14 370Z I picked up in 2019 with 39k on the clock. Since I got it, my wife and I have used it for a 3rd car/weekend cruiser and had no real intentions to build it up at all. But after having the Z one week she declared it was too quiet and didn’t sound like a sports car. Both our Infiniti coupes were bone stock but had that little growl. So this build started from that statement and has continued since Dec ‘19 to now.

Current status:
-2014 370Z 7AT with 45k on the odometer. It’s a sport/touring so it’s got the big brakes and nav/heated seats/etc.
-Greddy Evolution GT dual exhaust with Motordyne ART Pipes.
-Z1 2.5” cold air intakes(will be removed soon)
-Z1 Aluminum Undershroud.
-Z1 25 row oil cooler
-Setrab 19 row trans cooler
-Z1 poly motor mounts-bitch of an install.
-Z1 poly trans mount
-Z1 rear subframe collars
-Eibach lowering springs and SPL camber arms
-20 mm wheel spacers front rear
-Hankook Ventus V12 Evo Tires 275 front/ 305 rear
-Stoptech brake pads and drilled/slotted rotors.
-Ecutek tune by Eugene.
-Fast Intentions Billet Flex plate
-Several cosmetic upgrades carbon door handle covers, black roof wrap, powder coated stock sport Rays, etc. nothing over the top.

Parts on hand to install:
-Stock GTR spark plugs
-CJM fuel return system with billet fuel rails
-CJM top hat on modified stock fuel basket.
-Walbro 485 fuel pump
-ID 1300 injectors
-Omni 4 bar map sensor
-Specialty Z Flex fuel sensor with E85 content digital readout.

On order expected to ship in next few days:
-Topgunz Rotrex supercharger kit.

Over the next month I’ll be putting all these parts on the Z. Planning to get tuned up by Eugene on 93 pump and after that’s running stable start working on E85. I’ll try and update here and my IG (@liquid.magma) with pics of progress.

Thanks for reading.
