here in a new video about the new project 370z challenge and a recap of the last one

this is a neat idea for the challenge part. Carl Phillips is friend of mine and im liking how Nissan is ramping up the interaction between themselves and the enthusiast community. you guys need to send out a ringer with like a GT academy driver or something lol

the only thing making mine an all out track car is that I pulled the interior panels and don't want to waste my money on registration and insurance. other than that, its all bolt ons.

I think they will probably be using their own driver in both cars to get an even comparison.

I wonder if Tony at Fast Intentions or Sasha of Boosted Performance are entering a customer car. That I'd like to see.

I am looking forward to this! I hope I am one of the finalists... The 4.5L is sooo freaking efficient!

It would be great to show nissan what the VHR platform is capable of!!!

I submitted an entry as well. Its a long shot but what the heck!

Just realized the event weekend is the same weekend as a time attack event in Arizona that im hired to drive at. So no go for me :/

I really hope they use a car from this site.

I don't get to join.........Stuck in Hawaii and its only for the 48 contiguous states :(

I saw your video in Mexico Chris, GJ.

Submitted my entry last night, today is the second to last day, lets get some more entries from this forum! I am far from most people's submissions having only a cat-back exhaust system and Coilovers, paired with quite a few aesthetic mods.


I really don't know how critical the performance modification section must be, as long as you have performance mixed with looks that they think are "innovative to the Nissan brand" you should have a shot. It is mentioned in the rules that the track event is optional and that they will be using one of their own professional drivers at your (the owners) own risk, to your vehicle being on the track.

Although I don't know why they would pick someone who wouldn't let them do the track portion for publicity, I'm just throwing that out there. If they consider the finalists a 50-50 judgement, the winner is the one with the better story of their Z ownership anyway and your relationship/passion with Nissan it sounds like.


Good luck to everyone on this forum who has sent a submission already!

Anyone see if the event is open to the public to watch or interact? I'm planning to go out to Vegas soon and this would be a great time to go.

Also found this site with vids of the car being built. Not sure if everyone's seen these already.

They've updated the Facebook page with pics of the entrants. I didn't realize you could submit non-370s, so that's pretty cool to see some of the classics in there. Good luck to our forum members. I saw a few in there.

Aww man there's a lot of us on there....


Sick!!

Whether I make it or not, I'm just happy that more than 10% of those in there have my powdercoating work on them!

since they were contacting the 3 finalists today and I haven't heard from them, I'll assume I didn't make the cut.
