Getting the car ready for track days this year, fitted with Stillen, Eihach and H&R suspension mods. Thinking about stripping parts of the interior as well to save some weight. Should be a pretty fun track toy by spring...

 

Very cool! Great idea with the regards to the weight saving. Doesn't cost anything but gets you great results plus makes the car feel more hardcore IMO. Enjoy it in the best of health!

 

I've read and heard of accounts in which the Z retards power (goes into something similar to "limp home" mode) during times of excessive "heat" (i.e., track running on a warm/hot day) - any thoughts on a fix for this, or how to work around it?

I'm interested in a "bullet proof" solution as the car interests me.


Thanks.
Moving Chicane (not "SilverOne")

 

Many thanks! Me going on a diet is part of that plan btw haha

I have only read of a couple account of this happening, though I have never had the issue with my own car (I have had it for about a year). I wouldn't let this issue hold you back, I have enjoyed the car immensely

 

Great looking 370! I want to test drive one some day... I like the bubble butt on them.

 

^Thanks!

Yeah it does have some quirky design ques, they do grow on you though, even the chubby rear.

 

Love it in white!!! Best of luck on the track...

 

Looks great!

 

Many thanks Gray! Any tips from a pro such as yourself?

Thanks Igor

 

first thing you should prepare for the track is brakes for the Z.
they tend to fade very, very quickly after couple hot laps.
with track pads (carbotech or cobalt pads are good enough) and
stainless steel brake lines should help much better.
also adding a brake cooling duct would be a nice touch as well

and i've seen some 370z/g37s at the track going into the 'limp mode' after
few hot laps which limits you from revving all the way because of the
rising temperature issues. you should think about getting the tranny oil cooler as well, if you don't have one that is...

just some tips you might already know

nice car btw.
