DJTODD's Journal - 2012 370z Nismo

KE_1508

Just wanted to stop by and say great build! Hotrodz mentioned you on the phone. I'm just really surprised how well the 370s can hold up with track use. I'm definitely planning on Zdayz next year. Are you going to Z Nationals this year?

Here's a quick video of Hotrodz and I during our April session back in AZ.

Nice video!

Thanks Carlitos, glad you enjoyed it! It's not really an even comparison since all I had were "mild" bolt ons (motordyne XYZ w/res paired with a Tomei for the rear section, SB Stage 2 w/a steel flywheel for heat, and a tune). I feel it showed that an NA car can keep up in the corners, while the FI car can go on the straights. Either way, it was great fun and I'm pretty happy that my own car did what it did. I'm actually going to try and sync my video with Hotrodz. It was disappointing that Bob was ahead on the straights by 4-5 car lengths. lol I hate you Hotrodz.

@DJTodd, didn't mean to sidetrack your thread!

Awesome bro! I was thinking on change my Invidia CBE with the Tomei I can't wait to track my Z again

Most likely one of the best options imo. If I weren't running a Tomei, I would be running a FI setup for sure (on the hunt for a 14 so I can boost it). Still couldn't believe that the rear OEM Nismo exhaust section alone was roughly 40 lbs. On the Tomei it was 17 lbs all together up to the y pipe. Yup, track days are fun especially when you have other Zs to drive with.
