Top Secret 370Z
 

Very happy to announce that I am a new Z owner. I have been wanting one since the 350 came out but being a 22 yr old parent at the time didn't really allow me to have one. I've been driving Nissans for a while now. Had a 2002 Pathfinder than upgraded in 2007 to a new one since it sat 7 for the familia. Wife bought a Versa in 2010 and then now that I am 31 and out of debt, I finally got to get mine. Wifey and I went to Baker Nissan here in Houston and had Brad and his team from Baker Tuning hook up something just for me. I really loved the Top Secret front lip on the 370 and what a coincidence, they had a white one in their lot with the whole kit! I was dying to sign papers. So enough talking, here is my baby that I just picked up. Mods include a Top Secret carbon fiber front lip, side skirts, door pillar, custom made Top Secret exhaust, Tanabe springs and Advan RS-D 20x9.5 and 20x10.5. Thanks to Brad Baker, Paul Morgan and Jason Langley for helping put this together for me! Oh and wifey also traded in the versa for a matching Juke :D

Nice car! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!:welcome: and how much did you paid for the exhaust if you dont mind me asking;)

Welcome, car turned out great. :tup:

Thanks, they had the exhaust just laying around. Don't know if you remember Project Mothra by Baker Tuning with the full Amuse kit? It used to be on that car but it recently went Twin Turbo so they got another exhaust for it. I made an offer for 2k and they took it considering it originally cost $3500. Top Secret custom made that exhaust so there is not another one in the world :D Sounds great, you can find a vid on it on my Facebook page. Facebook.com/mikaelhinojosa

Oh i know the Mothra. and they sounds effing good on yours!! :tup:

LOL @ username.

Sweet car! I love the top secret lip!

Nice Z, welcome to the forum!

beautiful car.. the only thing ill change is the springs, into coilovers!

Yeah Im friends with Mike over here at NonStopTuning. He sells BC Coilovers since he sponsors Chelsea Denofa XDC champ. I am thinking about getting those. The springs are not bad though, they hug the road pretty good on turns. However on the streets when I hit a bump fast I notice they compress a bit too much for my taste. I come from a drifting background and Im using to not being able to push my car down when applying force on the trunk. This was my 93 240SX I had bought while I was waiting for my Z:

Very nice looking Z. As everyone else has said congrats and welcome!

Welcome to the forum!!


Remember to leave VDC on. Haha. :tup:

LOL, yeah I think Im done with the drifting for a while with this new car. Don't want to take any chances. That last course was a bit too hard for me, only felt comfortable drifting a $2000 car. Maybe a couple years down the road when its not so new anymore lol! Plus these GForce tires are too sticky!

there is a Z club show today. maybe you should bring out the new ride, i would like to hear the exhaust in person.

I'm here :)

Nice purchase. Is the exhaust Ti?

Nope, this was made by Top Secret before they started production on their titanium version I believe.

Also, car has been accepted into WekFest Ft.Worth. Look for my car if you are going.

welcome. and you are a very very lucky man. top secret kit looks sex.

Actually two version where made at that time the stainless steel one you have and I have the titanium one. I also will be at wekfest if you want to check it out.

TS makes 2 versions currently, Ti & SS, but the SS he has was the original exhaust Smokey used when he came to Houston a few years ago to test fit on a US car before he began the Ti production.

Also there was a titanium one that was on John car, the other top secret car that was built at the same time and tuned by smokey

I don't believe that was a TS Ti exhaust, but I can find out.

See, I remember the Baker car having the Amuse Ti exhaust and John's car having the SS TS exhaust, but like I said I will have to ask.

Wow, nice 370. Just needs to be a little bit lower :)

It had the one off stainless TS not Amuse
