370zUsama Build Journal

370zUsama

Hey there everyone!

I purchased a 'new' to me 370z back in May of 2016.
2010 370z 6M/T (G51)

It was either purchasing a used Z or putting a down-payment on a Evo X or STi, and even though they're boosted from the factory, I have no regrets because I love the styling and performance that comes from this car. It also happened to be my first manual car, so the downshift rev-matching was an important thing for me when choosing my options.

The mod bug hit me extremely hard and I researched tons about performance upgrades (the newbie part of me didn't know it was so much more than just engine upgrades) but the community has been so resourceful and I continue to learn a lot everyday and will continue to do so throughout my build.

Also, my goals for the car is to just make it a badass boosted track/street car, but as I'm sure most of you can relate when it comes to this hobby, it takes time and patience because parts are expensive and money doesn't grow on trees.

For a heads-up, I use the acronym: NTRM = Need to research more
