WWJD's Track Journal
I'm a big fan of Z since watched the movie F&F Tokyo Drift. However, for many reasons, I never got to own one every time when I was buying a car. Until my friend shown me the pics of Amuse 370Z last year, I decided to have one. But things didn't go smooth either. I test drove a manual Z and ended up with full of disappointment. I have to say that I hate the clutch. (I know "hate" is very strong word here) Later on, I borrowed a Z from a friend of mine, and wanna give it a try if I would like it after a few days. It was hopeless. Coming from Porsche's and S2k, no matter how much I loved the Z, I couldn't get over the wired clutch feel. So the Z dream was held on for a few months.
Anyways, until yesterday, I saw the speedhunters.com posted up a new series photoshoot of the amuse Z. I was completely sold! The buying process was simple, test drove a manual, a nismo and an auto. So here is my pick, 2011 370Z basic with auto. Let the modding begin!

Have anyone seen 20" LM's on Z in real life? How do they look like? Too big? Too busy? Or classic as usual?
I have a set of Lm's in size 20x9.5 +40 and 20x10.5 +20 off from my GTR. The offsets are kind of weak, and I don't have the right tires for them. However, I'm thinking of putting on my Z. but dont' wanna waste $$$ on tires if I'm not gonna like them. Opinion welcome!!! Thanks! |

^^ Thank you for the comment guys. I will mount them on the Z tomorrow and see how I like it.
I got Sport pkg BBK, 34 row oil cooler, power steering cooler (I'm going to convert this into tranny cooler instead), Nismo fin from Z1. Excellent customer service!! Last edited by WWJD; 09-01-2011 at 07:54 PM. |

Wheels look great man! If you're looking for a drop on a budget go Swift Spec-Rs, I have them and love them!

Some pics of work in process
some notes on the mods I have installed right now
- Eibach springs, fronts actually higher than rears for some reason... - stock seats are much lighter than what I thought. probably not saving anything by changing out the seats. But I track my car so i did that for the harness. - Stock sport bbk are stupid. You can't even see how much pads you have left from outside! WTF!! |
