Track-Modified 2007 Nissan 350Z - (Gridlife, Track) One Take

Күн бұрын

The Gridlife Motorsports and Music Festival is a three-day event combining track day, time attack, drifting, car show, and a music festival at Gingerman Raceway. With over 4,000 people in attendance, it's an incredible event that brings together a larger variety of people and cars than you'll see anywhere else. It also gives me an opportunity to test a bunch of cool cars on the race track.
This Nissan 350Z has been modified to improve its race track performance and optimize seat time for the driver at weekend track days and time attack events. We learn over and over that with the right combination of modifications, these 350Z's really come alive and this one is no exception. The owner has submitted a spec sheet for the car:

+MisterLizard depends on the exhaust really, mine overwhelms the intake once it gets going but when you first step into it you can deffinetly hear it.

@MotordyneG35 8 жыл бұрын

Jalopnik voted, motordyne shockwave, the 2nd best sounding v6 other than jaguar F type. The exhaust he has on his VQ cost half of the shockwave and sounds half as good as it is missing the other half of the exhaust. Not a true dual exhaust. This is not a display of a proper VQ sound. thegarage.jalopnik.com/here-are-five-reasons-why-you-need-to-buy-an-infiniti-g-1706059119

Just make sure you get the 07-08 HR 350Z. The HR Z is a different car than the 03-06 DE cars. HR Z is faster and can actually pull a 13.2 second 1/4 mile stock. It has a way improved suspension making the Z much more comfortable and better handling. The transmission is sturdier on the 07-08 350Zs. The interior is improved as well. They're as quick as the 370Zs and they are a great value. The Enthusiast model has a limited slip and none of the bells and whistles. Put a decent break kit on that and you have a well rounded sports car. If Nissan put the VQ35HR/CD008 transmission into them from the very beginning the car would have a very different reputation. I loved my 2007 350Z/6MT in Pikes Peak White.

Thanks Matt for a great review on the car! It was awesome finally getting to meet you in person. Btw for everyone saying it is loud, that was right after the new resonated test pipes went on. The carbon build up now makes it a little less twangy sounding and more smooth. Still loud as it is straight through :)

With that cooling issue, I just took my thermostat off as my 350z stays in Vegas so it doesn’t need one. The car can warm up still but it will never overheat. The car runs great and I’ve drifted it before and redline it and beat on it all the time. Car has reached the halfway coolant temp after sitting at a light on some highway pulls. Huge recommendation to all Z owners if you push your car hard and starts to over heat.
