DDM Project 370Z

M.Bonanni · 04-17-2009, 12:34 PM

Well, my street/show set of Forgestar F14s will be all matte black, but I think I might get a little more creative on the set I will use at the track...

275/35/19 front, 305/30/19 rear...

Good work Mike. Cant wait to see how your 370 performs

Watched your 350 grow up.

Good luck,

Chris

M.Bonanni · 04-21-2009, 07:01 PM

Thanks Chris

.

I don't plan on going as crazy with the 370Z as I did with the 350Z. I built that car when commercial real estate was booming

I know exactly what you mean

Well it sounds like from your thread and the other from the first track even. Not much is needed to make this a great weekend track car.

No, not much at all! This is truly an exceptional platform for a track car. Can't wait to get more mods!

Got the tracking number for the Forgestar wheels. Looks like they will be here tomorrow! I will get them on the scales for sure, depending on when they show up I might not be able to get them mounted and on the car though until Thursday.

Wheels showed up today!!! These things are PURE SEX in person. Very impressed with the quality. Here are the weights for all of your inquiring minds...

19x9 - 25 lbs.
19x11 - 26lbs.

And the Nitto Invo tires for good measure...
275/35/19 - 29 lbs.
305/30/19 - 32 lbs.

Combo wheel/tire weight...
Front - 54 lbs. (+1.8 lbs over stock sport package)
Rear - 58 lbs. (+1.2 lbs over stock sport package)

Stock lug nuts vs. Muteki open ended lug nuts (-3 lbs over stock)...

So the street wheel/tire/lug nut package nets a weight gain of 4 lbs total for all four corners. Thats the bad news. The good news, is that we upped the front tire size from a 245 to a 275, upped the rear tire size from a 275 to a 305, and upped the rear rim size to 11" wide. The added tire and wheel size far outweighs the minimal weight gain!

Hopefully with my track setup of 19x10 all around and 275 width tires all around I can at least break even with the stock weight.

ssqpolo · 04-22-2009, 10:56 PM
