Beautiful 370Z you have there I really like those wheels congratulations. If you plan on one day installing a Stillen supercharger kit consider a upgraded clutch and flywheel. The South Bend stage 2 clutch and billet steel flywheel from Z Speed Performance would be my first choice.

thanks for the suggestion! will keep that in mind but I wont be going FI for a while. I realized that I'm still no where the limit of this car, and would prefer reliability on the track over a little extra speed on the straights.


Side note, got my Z1 Slotted 2 Piece rotor front, and 1 Piece slotted rear

Second time at Laguna Seca (last time before it comes WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca)

Cooked my rotors and got fuel starvation (ended up being my best time too)
hoping to break into 1:40s next time out

if you're ever around norcal again for track days hit me up!

Well I achieved my goal this time! 1:49 at Laguna Seca (4 seconds faster than my previous PB)

In between the track days I got rid of the Amuse wing for an APR GTC 300, can definitely feel the rear end being more planted and some understeer, turned TC off in the last session and car definitely rotated better on a couple of corners

one mistake I made was not checking tire pressure, it wasn't until the last session when my instructor checked and all 4 of my tires were at 45 PSI (yikes)

didn't get many videos this time but this is a gorgeous shot from GotBlueMilk, heck I might frame this

Sick shot! And sweet time dude! I'm hoping to go sub-1:50 next time I'm at Laguna (won't be for a long time sadly, moving to AZ).

New Seibon TS CF Vented Hood, hopefully this will provide a little bit more frontend DF before my splitter is installed and slightly more cooling

Last Laguna day of the year I promise! Onto Sonoma next

Bested my PB once again, hitting 1:47 consistently with a virtual best of 1:45, here are a couple of laps (including passing a GT350!)

Also spun out at T11 for the first time, tried power sliding out but ended up overcorrecting and spun the other way

AMUSE FRONT BUMPER FINALLY ARRIVED! took 4 month wait but it was worth it, added a splitter too. Now I have issues with getting out of my driveway...

just in time for thunderhill track day in a couple weeks!

Car is looking good. As far as the driveway goes, just keep trying different angles and going slow. :tup:

One beautiful and clean Z you have there take care of it. Make the Z Speed Performance CMAK your next modification before it’s too late.

Shoeshear 08-17-2018 09:28 PM

Car's looking awesome man!

Neek 08-19-2018 01:27 AM

the amuse front bumper looks great! trying to find a good deal for one too :(

yaoxiao4 10-29-2018 03:19 PM

Hit up Thunderhill West twice in the past couple months, what a great track! probably better for lighter cars but I had fun regardless
