Nissan 370Z Forum - Brandon3434's Nismo 370z "Build" Thread

2011 Nissan 370z Nismo

Hey all, my name is Brandon, I've been in the Z community for about 10 years now. I've had plenty of Z's (2x TT 300zx, 350z DE, 350z Nismo, and 2x 370z Nismo Z's before this one). Don't worry, I will absolutely be keeping this one, considering the condition and mileage. This is the gem I wish I found when buying my last Z.

Like I was saying above, I was already mid build on a 370z Nismo, when I found a perfect condition, stock 370z Nismo (on this forum) for sale with less than 5000 miles. I called the owner as soon as I could, booked a flight that weekend, and picked up my new Z. She had 4742 miles before I drove her home from NY to OH. I'm making this thread to track the progress of this car. I've really enjoyed this community over the years, and I'm excited to share with you my current project. Please feel free to ask questions, give feedback (good and bad), and get to know me! Hope you (and I) all can learn a thing or two, enjoy! :)

FYI - Most of the mods listed below are not yet installed. They're sitting in my garage. As I install them I'll make a separate post and link them here with my experience, etc. (Sorry I'll be playing a little bit of catch up with this thread).
