The Accidental Nissan 370z
I chose my 370Z by accident. I had a Honda Civic before, and I was returning it because my lease was ending. I was in the market for a Prius, just because I wasn't ready to build any cars and wanted to save money, as I knew from previous experience how expensive building cars can get really quickly. However, my brother-in-law didn't like that idea and pushed me to get the 370Z at the dealership, knowing full well that the car wouldn't stay stock.
The Stock Phase
So, I kept the Z stock for three years because I was spending more on maintenance, just making sure that this car would run for a long period after modifying it. At first, I just wanted to keep it simple by putting on coilovers and wheels – simple and clean with tight fitment. But I grew tired of it after a few months.
The Time Attack Transformation
I decided that I wanted to build my Z like the ones at Tsukuba, a wild time attack 370Z. After watching tons of Attack Tsukuba videos on YouTube and reading countless Option magazines, I scoured the internet for years, finding the parts I wanted to put on my Z. It wasn't easy, as most of the parts I wanted were discontinued, so I heavily relied on auctions and personal connections to make it happen.
