[Build] 370ZTTR
Hello everybody, this is my 2nd try at building a beautiful, reliable, quick, and nimble 370Z. My first one was at a good start but unfortunately I really disliked the color (black cherry) so I had to move on..
Anyways, here's the start to my 2nd Project 370Z so far. (First "build" thread: http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...rbos-vq37.html) I've owned plenty of fun vehicles since I started driving including 2 MINI coopers, Audi TT, Ford Probe, FX35, G37, G37x, Tiburon, and some others I'm forgetting. I keep coming back to the 370Z for a reason! After my first Z, I swore off on buying another car from any dealership. I ended up buying this one from the auction myself and fixed it myself. I don't have many before and after pictures but this is how I received the car. https://i.ibb.co/BVFshht/370z1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Hp8jJZb/370z2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/cgtPtg6/370z3.jpg Unfortunately the shipping company/auction screwed me over by having the rear bumper cracked and the whole paint full of sand. It sucks having to add an extra $800~ to replace the rear bumper but I've decided to do that at a later stage. As for the sand, it took a good bit of a week to clean up the whole car and fix the paint blemishes and oxidization. After some work, this is the outcome currently: https://i.ibb.co/1MX8dbM/MVIMG-20190611-000356.jpg I was not able to locate a used Nismo front bumper so I had to settle with a regular base bumper for the time being. I wasn't going to purchase a new one from the dealer including all the little bits and pieces for approx $1500 plus paint! My main goals for this build is to have a fun, reliable 370Z that can be tracked and driven everyday while still making over 600 WHP using my GT-R Turbo adapters. I'll be adding all the pictures of the current products that are awaiting installation on my next post. Stay tuned! |
Glad to see you’re back, and giving a Nismo the power it deserves. The car is looking good! Good luck with the build.

Subbed. Great to have you back.

Really appreciate it guys, I'm glad to be back too.
Hoping to meet some of you guys later on during the next Zdayz! Here's a couple pictures of the small progress I made today.

Glad you're back in a Z!

Welcome back and congratulations on your project!

Thanks everyone! Glad to see that mostly everyone is still on this forum!
Everything's going slower than anticipated as I'm still waiting for my rebuilt turbos from Pure Turbos. Going to leave a nice review after I receive the turbos (If i receive them) They're 3 weeks late so far and counting. Anyways, in the meanwhile I've been working on the garage and installing the other mods that don't go on the engine. Here's a couple pictures! https://i.ibb.co/n1W8DFs/garage-2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/SxHKDDM/garage.jpg https://i.ibb.co/cycCffC/tires.jpg https://i.ibb.co/LRDsy6y/zhot.jpg |
What make/model two post lift is that?
Thanks in advance! |
That is the Danmar MX6. It's basically the MaxJAX but with automatic locking columns.
Got it about 6 months ago, but unfortunately my concrete was too thin so I had to cut it out and redo it. |
Does anybody know of an ancient remedy for bad luck? Seems like it's been following me for a while..
Anyways, got my Pure Turbos 5 weeks late (was supposed to be here beginning of June) and guess what? One of the turbos wasn't machined well which caused it to not clear the compressor housing very well.. Just shipped it back to them so god knows when the turbo will come back. Meanwhile, I've made a bracket to hold the GT-R Intercoolers and experimented with the stock GTR and stock Z piping/ hoses! Looks kinda OEM haha https://i.ibb.co/DV6wgfz/IMG-20190710-191907.jpg https://i.ibb.co/31r4pWs/IMG-20190712-161901.jpg https://i.ibb.co/YWwcnTr/IMG-20190710-191904.jpg https://i.ibb.co/SvR4x3n/IMG-20190714-103617.jpg symbol of ammonium sulphate |
love the repurposing of stuff.

Things are going very slowly still but the motor is out, turbos are on and just waiting for fittings for the lines. Hoping to have it running by mid August!
Going for an even simpler coolant routing this time around, I'll show you guys when it's done :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7d8a8f6ef1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb872b3a8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...83d5c56868.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5766787849.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...be3e48df62.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8ee723aaa8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...87fafa23b2.jpg Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |

Been slow on updates but I've been very very busy. Just came back from TX this week and this is where she's at right now.

After that, it's just intercooler piping and it's ready for tuning. I also had another crazy idea and proceeded with it, here's a teaser! |
where's the teaser :pics:

Forgot to include it, here it is!

Do you have anymore pictures on how you routed the coolant lines?? |
I've been super busy so I apologize for the lack of updates.
It took a while but shes finally done! I still have to finish the diff (I installed the wrong stub axles) and also redo the exhaust as the fabricator made it hang too low. So far everything it good, with just oil cooling issues on the track. I need to figure out a way to have good flow to all the coolers :tup: For anybody else who's doing the OS Giken LSD on a VLSD car, you can either use 2 left side stub axles, or you can use the open differential (base) stub axles but you have to machine the snap ring holes to be deeper. Hope this helps someone. https://i.ibb.co/pdLYGq8/IMG-20190820-231520.jpg https://i.ibb.co/T4zH5Tt/IMG-20190901-231009.jpg https://i.ibb.co/xssNKbD/IMG-20190901-231023.jpg https://i.ibb.co/0FtgtPq/IMG-20190901-231032.jpg https://i.ibb.co/dG8VBKc/IMG-20190910-213216.jpg https://i.ibb.co/nbFDL8x/IMG-20190912-232059.jpg https://i.ibb.co/SyWSQ5n/IMG-20190917-223609.jpg |

As to be expected, my 2nd day driving the car and this happens!
Never had this happen before and I wasn't even beating on the car that much. Shifted from 2nd to 3rd and boom.. Defective? https://i.ibb.co/dPw4Hxk/IMG-20190921-204726.jpg |
You broke the diff cover where the rear stud is mounted. All the ones I heard about. They all was beating on the car.
|
What is up with Z1 Diff covers breaking. You are not the first. I am boosted and my nismo cover is fine. I beat my car as well

I have to bell works diff brace. The nismo cover does need to be modified for it to fit.
|
Hey there I saw in another thread to search for your build thread as you spent 3800$ using GTR turbos.. I assume this is it?

I apologize for the lack of updates, I have been building a few cars using these kits so my car has been on pause for the past few months. I'm hoping to get a new intercooler from CJM next month and see what she will do on the dyno :) As for everyone looking for updates on these kits, check out my website! I have a blog section there where I'll be posting all the projects that I am currently working on. |
It's been uneventful lately as I've been working on other projects, but finally finished the tablet on my Nismo!
Also, picked this nice car up a week ago :P https://i.ibb.co/s5pvXMY/20191227-234344.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Prx13Y1/20200103-211538.jpg https://i.ibb.co/pZnGQW9/20200102-234846.jpg https://i.ibb.co/GWGNjfc/20191220-102852.jpg |
You bought what's his names Z with phunk's intake.
|
Thinking about adding the Brainiac kit to the list, looks nice!

I've been getting a lot of requests for a walkthrough of the GTR Turbos on the 370Z/G37, so here it is!
I apologize for the quality, it's my first time recording a video like this but I hope it explains everything a lot better than pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMrwS4ru2ak |
