Default My 350z Track Edition - Mini Shoot - **SEATTLE WA**

The sun poked through the clouds today here in Seattle, and I got bored, so I decided to snap a few quick pics of my Track ed. Z.

Enjoy!

In fact, I do! I build cars and actually "USE" them unlike most. I don't have any videos edited yet, but please enjoy my old EG chasing around an Ariel Atom.

Nothing special...
Pretty much bolt ons; I/H/E. I'm also running a plenum spacer, and reflashed ECU. Car is dyno tuned at 271whp, 259ft/lb.

I've seen setups hit close to 300whp with cams on a stock bottom end.

Wow this looks great, I think you should bring it to Pacific Raceway and clock some track time.

I love 350z's. I debated on getting out of hondas and buying one when I saw a Daytona Blue Pearl Track Edition for cheap and easy on the miles. Thats probably one of the very few cars I could see myself getting out of the scene for. for your car.

Thanks bro. I hear ya, I always thought I'd stay with hondas too. Daytona Blue Pearl Track Ed. would've been sweet!

My track times are pretty wack right now. 1:50s on average on my street Nitto 555 tires at PR. I was clocking consistant 1:40s on my EG on street tires, even a 1:38:82 based on someone with a stopwatch in the stands! I'm still trying to get used to RWD after years of FF cars. The EG was just so easy to toss around.

Yes, there are. In fact, I believe HKS & JUN even make 3.7L kits complete with new crank, pistons, rods....the works. Super PRICEY though

LOL. I actually do . They are a B*TCH to clean.

Looks good... but I think it looked much better with the RPF1s though.

Thanks! Yes, I'm running a 1/4" spacer for the front to clear the brembos. John told me they don't a machine a face in this wheel style that would clear without one .

i knew it!! John and Dan is trying to build a set of classics for me for a 03 cobra with brembos and they're having a hard time building the front wheels with a big back pad to try to clear the overhang on the brakes without spacers. but i already know that it's gonna be tough. thanks for the info!! ur set-up looks great!!

Thanks bro. Unfortunately, I sold it last year to pick up this Z. I'll have some footage edited soon. I'm still trying to get used to the car...it is definitely a different beast than the EG.

Thanks man....I'll be jealous if they machine a face that will clear those brembos! I'm not really a fan of spacers myself!

^^ i don't think they'll be able to machine a Classic face that will clear brembos. The new LM series will clear those brembos with no problem!! it's bc of the design of the classic. oh well... LoL
