Adam's 370Z Project

AdamMD

Hello all!

I recently picked up a 2009 370Z base model which is quickly turning into my new car focus/project. I'll try to outline the build and post photos as I go in this thread in case anyone is interested in seeing progress or offering comments/criticism/feedback.

Some background: I've had the vehicle for about a week now. Attached is a photo of it in it's current (well - as of a few days ago) stock state. It's an incredibly clean car inside and out; I was very pleasantly surprised by the condition. Has about 55k miles on it, clean title and currently registered in MD.

As for working on the car; I don't have regular access to a lift so I went ahead and purchased a Ranger QuickJack 5000 unit which is set to arrive in a few days and should help out a bit (I've got it up on stands for the time being).

Parts-wise, here's what I've got in my possession currently and am in the progress of putting onto the car:

- Kaaz 2 way LSD
- Complete Akebono sport brake upgrades
- 2 Additional Akebono rear calipers for a dual caliper setup
- Maverick Z34 Dual Caliper bracket
- Voodoo 13 CFR Complete Front Angle Kit
- Voodoo 13 Solid Subframe Bushings
- Voodoo 13 Rear Camber Arms
- Voodoo 13 Rear Toe Arms
- ASD 16" Pull-Back Hydro E-Brake
- SPL PRO V3 Front Upper Arms
- SPL Eccentric Lockout Kit
- SPL Front Sway Bar End Links
- SPL Rear Sway Bar End Links
- A.F.P. Adjustable Replacement Clutch Pedal
- Z1 CSC Elimination Kit
- DG-5 true-type coilovers from Japan (12kg front/10kg)

I've also got the following on the way:

- SPEC SN35PT-2 Super Twin (1100 ft lbs) clutch
- Injector Dynamics 1000CC injectors

And will be going with the AAM Twin Turbo Kit as well as their R-line Oil Cooler, return fuel conversion and twin fuel-pump setup.

In the not-so-distant future the interior will get stripped out and a cage will be put in. For now only the rear is stripped out and I just installed an aftermarket Pioneer NEX head-unit (Apple CarPlay is actually pretty neat! If only it worked via bluetooth...) so that driving on the street is a bit more enjoyable.
