Greetings from México!!

Hello folks!

I've been reading stuff on this forum for quite a while now, but finally decided to join! I have learned a lot of things here and hopefully I can share with you guys some of my experiences and knowledge.

Here's my Z, 09 AT Mexican spec (touring with VLSD, no nav but BOSE, and iron brakes lol) with 19k miles on the clock (30k km). Car has always been a garage queen and hopefully stay with me a lifetime as I have special feelings to it (350Z was my frist realistic childhood dream car), but i've been driving it more since COVID started. JDM hype is big here in my city with lots of club drives and rallies, events and meets, and I really enjoy driving it on canyons and track too(with cool down time for oil )

I'm focusing on improving its track capabilities, although not to turn it into a dedicated track, time attack or race car (hopefully that one will be build soon for racing), but to make it more of my usable, weekend driving car with a bit more reliablility and improved trackday ready features while looking OEMish. I do have race gear and some experience including superbikes.

It already has very minor mods on it (CAI, CBE with cats, AEM fuel pump, DIY improved fuel pump assembly) and some other parts arriving on february and march (Oil cooler, trans cooler, slotted rotors, better pads and SS lines, PCV breather kit).
Looking next for coilovers, sway bars, some aero, tune, solid mounts and maybe half cage. Car gets its fluids changed frequently.
I also have an OBD live data app, oil pressure gauge, galley gasket replacement parts ready to install, strangely does not suffer from fuel starvation even on half tank and no fuse for the SL mechanism haha.

It will be awesome to see your builds, gather some ideas and hear suggestions from you guys!

Congratulations finding that 09 with only 19k miles! And welcome to the club!!

Thanks! Actually I got it years ago, interesting story behind.

Car was bought new by my uncle's friend and had it preserved in his "collection" though he drove it every once in a while and did scheduled services to keep it running good. Took a lot of time and effort to convince him to sell it to me (like, years trying haha). Got it with 8k miles IIRC, TSW Hybrid wheels and wing included in the package. Felt like a barn find without restoraton issues.

Curious thing, car is VIN no. 500086. Dude was bragging a lot about it.
