Hello everyone -Father Son Build

BigK370z · 07-11-2021, 08:35 PM

Hey guys, long time Nissan guy here helping my son follow in my foot steps with a 370z build setting him up with this profile here. Look forward to building this thing out so it’s ready for his driving time in 3 years

We went with 2017 Base model purposely chose this one so we can add the right items for track and drag use as well as daily use.

Welcome to the forum.

There is a ton of info here. The Z can do one or the other. Track or drag. It can't do both well.

3 years... you'll have plenty of time to build a beast.

Welcome!

You are a cool dad. Way to go for supporting your son's interests.

Sounds like a lot of fun and reminds me of what I did with my sons...
so enjoy the time and the build and welcome to the forum...

also, think about the both of you doing some autocross events or attending a driving school together... Fun for both and also learning how the Z likes to run

Thanks everyone, coming from many different Nissan builds, I've done S14s, R32s, (seller remorse on those two) even a Maxima build for a winter ride believe it or not. Nissan has always been fun to work on and the 370z now soon to become what I've been hearing a collector car and value possibly going up I decided to jump on this train after my son kept talking about how much he wants one to track and drag so that's pretty fun. In the 3 year window I'll enjoy it and when hes licensed it will become fully his.
