After a long search of Nissan 370's around the country and many "oh yes it's mint mate" disappointments I dropped on my car at the Jct600 dealership in Bradford purely by chance after returning from yet another not as described 370.

We took a short cut which took us past the dealership and there she was on one of those rotary turntable thingies in all her glory, needless to say it was mint. The deal was done and I was the proud owner of my 2009 370z GT spec storm white coupe with 17,000 miles on the clock.

That was two years ago and other than an Invidia Gemini exhaust, Stillen Gen 3 intakes and 25mm spacers all round it's pretty much standard. Until now, so here is my build thread hoping you find it interesting.

I started reading the members builds on here and Zeditis started to set in. I decided to go and look at the very latest 370 Nismo, trading mine in as a part exchange, thinking they would offer me a decent price. WRONG. £10.000 against a £38000 car... I don't think so. So I decided I would go down the supercharged route and all the suspension and brake upgrades as well.

Enter Adrian from TORQEN

After contacting Adrian and him patiently answering my many questions regarding superchargers, brakes, suspension and traction control, I decided to go for a complete set up starting with the TORQEN Monster Big Brake kit, with front and rear 8 and 6 pot, which was fitted last Friday.

Pictures below:

Here's a picture with Adrian's Nismo 19" wheels on my car:

Then these bad boys were fitted:

And this SPL, Eibach and GT Spec lot from Adrian's car:

Now do I have Adrian's Nismo 19" wheels:

Or stay standard with mine?

I've had the side skirts wrapped in Avery carbon look wrap, but I don't know if I like them?

Comments please

Ignore the red stripe that's something the wrapping lads did thinking it would look good... It's gone now

Oh and the roof wrapped in gloss black, keeping this on.

Hello and welcome

I've pm'd you

Thanks

Is the paintwork ok on the spats and side skirts? ie would they go straight on without re spraying?

Nice wheels Elliot and the colour I'm thinking of going for if I don't have Adrian's Nismo's, hope you get them sorted soon

Will have a look now thanks

Be nice to see a picture of your wheels though if you have one?

Thanks for that Elliot350 good to get feedback from someone who has dealt first hand with Forgestar. Not good when they charge those prices.

That's some serious looking kit there lads

Couldn't believe how light the amuse exhaust was when Adrian showed it to me but the wheels are next on the list

Should be fun at mot time

Yes I can change them as they are removable, I'm in the process of making some of my own stainless tips

I'm hoping mine isn't too loud when the decats go on with the supercharger

The quality is amazing and fitted like a glove, gives a nice subtle growl when running steady and a nice rasp when on full chat.

I've got no issues with it so will probably decide what to do when the decats are on as I don't want anything too loud, not keen on the rolled blue tips but didn't realise I had an option when I bought it...duh.

I've got an Invidia Gemini system at the moment but like the armytrix or even Adrian's amuse ..........when he drops his price

The Torqen R coil overs. Adrian has a thread on here for them. I've also had his full SPL suspension parts.

Thinking about having his wheels also but I do like the Forgestars wheels.

This Zeditis is looking quite contagious,we're all at it

Yes Nic that's my car, can't wait to try it but supercharger not going on yet but at least it will handle and stop well.

Dom got the bag off ebay last year £12.99. Type in Z boot tidy or something like that

How's mine looking Dom?

Except a 370 owner

Looking good

Get the red ones on quick

Its still the red ones for me, not changing my mind ish.... nooo be strong

That's the idea plus it will owe me so much money I will have to keep it

Well I was going to buy a new Nismo but when the dealer offered me £12,000 for my zed against a £38,000 Nismo I decided to go down the route of upgrades on my car and use the money this way ( still the cheaper option so far). Ooooeer

It may be a 2009 but it's immaculate and I ain't letting it go for that, so I'm keeping the car looking totally standard but heavily modding it under the skin

I still smile at the look on the salesmans face when I told him to work his deal where the sun don't shine and bid him a polite good day

This Zeditis is a terrible thing
