Default My New Nismo 370Z 6MT w/Tech

Hello Everyone!!

I just picked up a gorgeous Nismo Z in 6MT w/Tech and have some big plans for it that I will do right away. Found it brand new in Tampa, FL and got a deal I could not refuse.

Previous cars:

1. 2007 Carbon Silver Nissan 350Z 6MT BASE
2. 2008 Obsidian Black G37S AT
3. 2013 Obsidian Black G37S 6MT/Nav
4. 2013 GT-R Black Edition
5. 2017 Nismo 370Z 6MT/Tech

Below are my previous "Builds".

About 2 months ago my 2013 GT-R (Black Edition) was hit in my own parking garage while I was inside my place by a drunk driver who destroyed it. This was the most heartbreaking thing to see after i got the call to come upstairs to the scene.

Pics are HERE

I found my GT-R 16 months ago with only 2,500 miles in showroom condition at a great price so I parted out my 2013 G37 immediately to get it. 16 months and 53K miles later it was totaled out and left me speechless. Some upsides to this whole situation so overall not the worst thing that could have happened. Blessing maybe? I had modded the GT-R with everything I wanted to do and was not going to go beyond that point and already was racking up more and more miles since it was my daily driven show/track car. I took long road trips out of town very often while racing it at PBIR and still daily the car to work and weekly car meets. Had a blast with it every chance I could.

I did FBO (Full Bolt-On's) with E85/flex fuel and was making around 630 AWHP. The car was SOLID! Bill at Spray it Racing tuned the car and never once had a single issue. No CEL nothing! I will have him do the tuning on my Z in the future even fter all those miles and abuse I did to it haha. Really had a good time but to be honest I was starting to get bored. Once I saw the 2017 GT-R come out I wanted it. I said many times I wanted to part out my current GT-R and save for a 17 but were selling 30-40K more then what you can get a 15/16 these days and must live within my means. Can't go too crazy lol.

Here was my mod list. The only thing I never got to install was my Varis fenders with the Vossen x Work 20x11/12.5 VWS-1 wheels. I had all brand new ready to install and change the look of my car but then was hit and just started selling everything.

I was able to put the car 100% back to stock and sold all the parts I had to local friends.

So once my GT-R was parted out completely and the car was totaled I was now back to square one. No car and the choice on which route to take.

Option 1:

Another GT-R! 2015/2016 Black Edition newer/updated but essentially still the same car and to do all over again maybe a bit different did not interest me anymore. I guess it was always a dream to own/mod one and already got to fulfill that. Sort of a been there done that type of feeling.

Option 2: Keep saving money and go for the 2017 GT-R which again is a great idea but financially was not best. Dealers are asking so much for them. I just was not ready and again must live within my means.

Option 3: Get a less expensive car and wait it out until more options come in the near future. So many great cars out there that will be available soon so why rush it. I spent 2 months with no car trying to decide all this and got tired of renting cars, asking for rides and calling ubers lol.

One thing is for sure. I did not want to leave the Nissan community so here I am again. I really love this platform and have some plans for the Z that are happening very fast!

Gonna keep things simple and clean. Maybe TT it later down the road

1st impressions. I absolutely love the interior. Power is ok but I wasn't looking for anything crazy so I am ok with it for the type of driving I do. Exterior is very different and not one Nismo in my area so it's pretty unique.

I really wish the GT-R had these seats! The interior really sold me.

Wasn't a fan of the new Nismo's exterior but really love it in person.

1st mod is the DRL mod. Did this on my GT-R. Way easier on the Z!



Took 10 minutes but it's so much nicer.

Sweet. Sucks to hear about the GT-R, but I'm sure you've got plans to make this Nismo just as good.

Dat Nissan loyalty tho.

Also interested in hearing how you feel about coming from a GTR to the Z. Is it as dissapointing as one would imagine?

Sure man.

I did this on my GT-R.

I followed these exact steps however I skipped the last step because the way I did it on the GT-R was much easier.

DRL on with headlights MOD

What I did not want to do! Notice how this person wired the "Red/Bronze" together. Not sure why you would want to do this way



What I did

LED Lights - Page 7 - Texas & South Central - GT-R Life

Basically I used the item on the left to tap into both wires in the 370Z to be much easier. Rest was a breeze.

Thanks everyone. It's a weird change but not entirely as bad as I thought. My goal was to find a daily driver without breaking the bank and save up more for something special and still mod something to make it fun. The Z is perfect for what I was looking for.

Pros on the Z: Inexpensive, Nimble, Nicer interior IMHO vs the GT-R, cheaper mods, quieter, 6MT and not as harsh on the road for a DD and still capable of aggressive wheel fitments which I do love

Cons on the Z: Small, slower vs GT-R obviously but nothing forced induction can't fix

Pros on GT-R: Handling is amazing. I can see the difference where the GT-R felt so much more planted to the road. Powerful, Supercar status, lightning quick shifts, launch control, more comfortable with the black edition recaros, awd, VR38 sounds incredible with bolt on's, more spacious, more exclusive.

Cons on GT-R: Dated the GT-R seriously needs a revamp. Much more common these days so to me lost it's exclusivity. Like the Z it's been around since 09, harsh, dual clutch is noisy, lots of sounds that make you think it's broken but all normal lol I mean it is a race car so it's expected so never bothered me. Expensive to mod (GTR TAX IS INSANE!)

Overall the 370Z with twin turbo's, RWD and a 6MT would probably be a lot more fun vs a FBO E85 GT-R ( I got bored of the DCT at times) Z has potential and can still look stunning with the proper mods.

Reliability would be my biggest concern. I drive a lot and I did put 53K miles on my GT-R in 16 months so that's something to also consider. The GT-R was very very relaible and bulletproof. 53K racing miles! I never ever drove it "Normal" Alway's in R mode with traction off and not a day went my I didn't go WOT(Wide Open Throttle)!

Forced induction for the Z is on my mind. What i would hate to deal with is issues I could run into so will look more into this as I mod it up. TT's will be the last thing I toy with. For now gonna do some minor things.
