Bought a used 370Z

6ixof1 · 05-25-2019, 05:49 PM

Hello all,
I'm in north Jersey. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2010 Black Cherry Z with 93k milies to play with. Still getting used to it. Only mods on it is axle back exhaust.

I plan to do some autox and track days after some basic prep work. Just got the diff and trans fluid changed. Swapped the cabin air filter. Next item is brake fluid flush swap to Motul and Hawk HPS pads and SS lines.

I'll be ready for the next autox that's not jam packed.

Congratulations and welcome.

Welcome! Have you looked into a CMAK and oil cooler? Pretty much the two essential post-purchase add-ons.

Welcome to the 370Z forums and congratulations on your Z. Post some pics if you can. Do you have any plans for your new to you Z?

Thanks @BettyZ: I wasn't aware of the CMAK until this post. I saw ZSpeed performance has a kit. I read the description and will add it to my list along with the oil cooler.

I picked up an Injen intake kit this weekend that was heavily discounted. I couldn't resist. I plan to get the hydroshields before installing.

Congrats and welcome. Your probably pretty close to me, I'm in north Jersey as well, if you see a Blue/Purple 370Z around that's me.

Excellent choice. I have ZSpeed as well, the kit that included a stage 1 clutch and lighter-weight flywheel. Had a shop install it. What oil cooler did you look at?
