JayTirbhaw's boosted Nismo 370z build
Well I figured it is about time I made a build thread.
A little background: Been in the "Z scene" since 2008. Was always a fan of the 300 growing up as a kid; when the 350z debuted I became obsessed. After working my butt off during high school, got my first Z after graduation, a 2008 Nogaro red 5AT enthusiast. Had lot's of fun with it, learned a lot about how the VQ cars run, made some great friends, and overall had some great experiences. To me it was the best looking Z in town and always caught a lot of attention. pics coming soon After graduating college I decided I wanted something that was a little bit more fun to drive ( got tired of the automatic), and began looking for a new car; some months later I found myself in my new 2014 Magnetic black Nismo 370z. Been lurking on these forums since 2009, haven't really posted until I actually owned my new car. She's been great so far, left her pretty stock for the past few months and started purchasing parts for a quality N/A build... but once again, after hanging around a lot of high horsepower cars ( coming from a family of german loving gear heads ) and losing to M's and AMGs one too many times, I again found myself wanting more. At first I begun to explore the possibility of a GTR. Test drove a few, drove my friend's black edition around for a day and enjoyed it. GTRs certainly deserve the name Godzilla, but it was just not as "fun" to drive as a Z, if that makes sense. There was just something about the Z that made it seem almost impossible for me to not be in one !! So I ruled out the GTR and began researching Forced Induction options. I've always wanted to boost my car since I had the 350, and in college hung around with a lot of boosted Z's that came out of forged performance and z1 motorsports in the Atlanta area. I collected knowledge, did my research, set a budget, talked to vendors and waited patiently... Fast Forward to the current day ! Finally pulled the trigger on getting my build going. My car is awaiting transportation to Tampa FL, where VORTEX (Formally VSR) Motorsports will be installing their single turbo kit. Will update with specifics as time goes on. Excited to finally be joining the boosted z club !! Sorry for the lame pics, will be adding more REALLY soon !

If you can ditch the ProSport Boost Controller for something better, HKS/Greddy etc. They use them because they are local.

Frustratingly my car still isn't done yet. I've been told “next week” a few times but that hasn't happened. The review will be comprehensive, won't leave any details out, good and bad.
It's waiting for a z1 clutch kit to arrive, and from what I was told last week a few more pipes need to be fab'd. I've been about as patient and understanding as I can be, but I am pretty annoyed as I had to miss zdayz and a few other events.

Update 6/26/15 -at long last, after 4 months and after a bunch of hurdles and challenges, my car is finally done. The transport truck is picking it up from the shop tomorrow to bring it to it's new home in NYC !!
I am so excited, can't wait to get behind the wheel after so many weeks. Will give you guys a full run down after she arrives, but here's a dyno sheet of one of the first runs during tuning, @ 10 psi ... 512 WHP , 430 lbs torque not the final run or numbers, but still pretty nice look at the power band , sorry for the huge pic Going to have fun with it as is for a while, but planning on getting the car retuned locally ( Can't stand being away from it any longer ) and shooting for around 600 whp on the built block. We'll see !!
