Default [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: GT-R turbos on the VQ37)
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.







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:



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.

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. (Mounted Intercoolers)

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!

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

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
