BattleBoyZ Racingteam - Nissan 370Z Racecar
 

Hello,

we are a brand new german racing team formed in 2010. Since a couple of month we prepare our Nissan 370Z with some great tuner and manufactures for the track. We got a lot of help and support from KW Suspensions which setup our coilover system on their own 7-post drive dynamics test stand and also from CTD-Germany - Exclusive Car Tuning & Development; Nissan 350Z, Nissan 370Z, Nissan GT-R, Chrysler Crossfire, Mazda RX-8 one of best Nissan sportscar specialists in Europe.

Tino (CTD-Germany) have made some great pictures from our first race this season at the german Hockenheim race track. This season we drive the GTWC (German Touren Wagen Cup).


More infos: Battle-BoyZ Racingteam Wir sind 3 junge Talente die sich durch einen reinen Zufall im vergangenen Jahr zusammengefunden haben. Im Jahr 2010 veranstaltete NISSAN Deutschland in Kooperation mit dem Fernsehsender DMAX und der AUTOZEITUNG eine Rennfahr (german language)

Best regards Thomas

Great looking car. You've given me some ideas.

Best to luck for your team.

Sick

Great looking car and good luck !


...wonder where they got the circular ducts above the canards, and what are they for ? looks like a stock nose and you can see some tubing in the background through the hole so are they just, holes ?

Looks like silicone duct, brake ducts I bet.

Nice set-up & good looking race car. Hope for the best for you & the team.

Fantastic look! Good luck to your team!

USA says awesome
 

Great looking ride and congratulations on selecting the Z. Now I have a German Team to cheer on! Who is the driver and were can we find information on the team?:tup:

very nice!

Hey,

many thanks for your whishes :)

The ducts above the canards are in addition to the ducts in the middle of the front bumper for brake cooling.

The drivers of the car are Bastian Braun, Dominik Scherer and i Thomas Kramwinkel.
We won a talent scouting event from NISSAN Germany. It's like the GT Academy but only in Germany and without playing playstation ;).
We also drove a race in zandvoort, NL on an nissan 370z race car from RJN Motorsport. After that we decided to build up our own race car and team and now here we are :)

Here you can find a documentation of this talent scouting event: DMAX Doku zum Nissan Sportscarbattle 2010 - YouTube

Wow. Congrats on winning the Nissan scouting event!

Best of luck and please keep us updated. :tiphat:

Nice looking car. What tire size are you running if you don't mind me asking? Is that exhaust Invidia?

Very nice! Good luck!

Awesome setup guys, good luck!

This is very cool. I love the racing livery on the Z. Best of luck, guys!

Looks sick. More pics of interior :).what have you done to the suspension and motor? This is the only time I can say I like the stock wheels :)

hey,

yes it is an Invidia exhaust. ;) The car is build up to the group N reglement

The tire size are 18" because it's not allowed to drive larger wheels in german races so we decided to try the stock wheels first and it works well. :)

the suspension is a KW competition 3-way coilover system which setup on their own 7-post drive dynamics test stand. it's so amazing to drive this car with this coilover system :)

now we will develop together with our tuner ctd-germany some parts and tweaks for the z. more information soon.

best regards thomas

Also found this vid, is the audio a file you guys made, or do you have a link to where I can find that remix of the song, I really enjoyed it. :tup:

Nice, I wanted to know if the nice light factory 18" wheels fit over the sport brakes and from your pictures I have the answer.


Thanks!

That is the best looking use of the base wheels I've seen yet, the Z looks awesome! I hope you have lots of success.

hey :)

here is a new onboard video :)

can't believe i missed this thread, very cool! :tup:

couple questions for ya... what engine package are you using? all stock VQ37VHR w/ VVEL? what kinda power are you putting at the wheels? what's your race weight? what kind of cars are you up against in your class of racing?

just wondering since i work with a pro team on this side of the pond :tiphat:

Very nicely setup looking car.

What size tires do you run? They look pretty skinny!

Hey,

the engine is stock :/ only with a few changes like oil cooler, exhaust and so on. but more tuning coming soon... :) the race weight of our car is 1470Kg and we are racing against cars like: clio rs cup, porsche cup, porsche 996 GT3, SEAT Leon Cup, Opel Astra OPC.

yes the tyres are very skinny: 18inch/240 but now we changed the tyre size to 270 :)

very nice, keep up the good work :tup:

New pictures and movie :)
i hope you like it
greetings from germany

Azev rims, no? I have the same for my winter tires :-)
Nice car!

I know it has a full cage but seems there's still to much weight there for being stripped?

:iagree: 1470kg = 3240lbs... Seems a little heavy for being a race car and all.

Hey,

Thats the old weight. Now the weight of the car is 1310kg 2888.05lbs without any carbon parts. In germany we have a very hard reglement.

The azev rims are only for show and shine. We use racing rims for race.
