Arrow Purchased a Nissan 370Z

We purchased a 2017 Nissan 370Z with only 4K on the clock after seeing how reliable and dependable they are. I know two people that owned a Nissan 370Z and were very happy owning them. We will be keeping the 2012 Chevrolet V6 Camaro despite the issues we had with it. I always liked American muscle cars and have always liked the Chevrolet Camaro too. In 2020 we are considering a possible purchase on a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS or a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado will not know until 2020 comes. Does anyone have any information on the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS or the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado? My plans with the 2017 Nissan 370Z is to install a twin turbo kit and all supporting modification and go down the rabbit hole. I already took the Z to the track twice.

Congratulations on the new buy! I came from the VQ37VHR platform myself (Infiniti G37) and worked at a performance shop that specialized in Nissan / Infiniti, so if you have any questions, let me know!

Stay away from AAM Twin Turbo Kit (as well as their shop) and the Stillen Supercharger.

Thank you guys for the compliments I appreciate it. Also thanks for the tip I have been researching twin turbo kits for the Z lately. I look forward to the build and taking it to the track as well. If I have any questions I will ask you.

I used to have a 6-speed 350Z, probably one of the best driving, pure fun cars I've owned.

Blueovalman with a Camaro purchased a 370Z, so confused

Nice car. I looked at them but ended up with an RX8 years ago (was 350Z back then).

I came from an 03Z! Congrats. Very quick for an NA 6 cylinder! Some suspension mods and fatties and it is a track beast in the twisties.


Good Luck

I thought Nissan eliminated the fangs after 2012 or something? Personally, I thought they looked good. Did they bring them back?

2009-2012 years had the fangs not unless the current owner installs them. So far the Nissan 370Z has been the best most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
