Track 350Z Walk Through 

07:38 R.I.P. Headphone Users :-)

It's great to run across a no bull very informative video of a real track 350, thanks muchly and happy racing.

This video was amazing. No loud ass music, or crazy effects. Just straight up car talk and checking out a car that has had its share of track battles. What would you say is the weakest point of the 350z?

Thanks for the shout out! It's amazing how much you have done to the car once you start going over it

absolutely one of my favorite Z'S

Just came back from my first track night driving my 350ZHR, and this video is perfect :) nice work!

always happy to see a vid of your pop up in my sub box! my first trackday is in 2 weeks super excited and i really feel your vids will help me out alot. glad i found your channel mate!

WOW! I just submited to your channel ,as a Z owner myself , I'm listening like if its was Christmas (sorry for my English) continue your good work!!! greeting from Quebec , Canada

This is awesome. I find it very compelling that you've had that car for so long and have put that much diy work into it. I commend you for that. Love the older 350's! Want to get a 2005 one myself, regular DE version, and mod it up a bit. Your "How to Build a Track 350Z" video's helping me a lot. Interested in drifting only though, not turning it into an airplane ;)

Been waiting on this video for a while👍🏼

this was an incredibly helpful video for someone like me just starting out building a track car. I've only had the car for like 2 months but I really wish I could get it done quicker.

such a beautiful track car, ty for the walk through

Great upload, added to my favorites!

You bought this car the day I was born. HELL YEAH🤙

I have the same SPC arms on my Accord. Great video👍🏽

Love seeing how other people go about building their TA cars, always gives me new ideas to steal ;P But damn man, my ears after going from you quietly talking to a 10x louder clip of the car at WOT haha

Micheal, I just bought a project Z, thanks for the inspiration

Its amazing how fast you are on the Track. Your Aero and Grip must be perfect when you take in consideration that you have (as far as i understood) "only" 353 whp. Skill is a factor too. But this gives me hope that one day my Z will be a fast Track Car aswell :) Thanks for the Video. Thumbs up from me.

great walk around!

loved it! very inspirational build, but please normalise the sound clips volumes lol. thing to look into; at the very end you mentioned chassis mounted wing. I just saw a video of this Australian aero guy; he mentioned that it's -theoretically- the best place to mount a wing is onto the subframe directly....somehow (hence the 'theoratical' part). since you already did cut the rear bumper, perhaps you might have more room to mount the wing all the way to the sub frame or "through" the rear spare tire body panel. the aero guy said this way you won't need very high spring rates to counter the extra aero down force. am no pro (outside of forza lol) but I thought of sharing this as you seem to be an all out function over form kinda guy!

Michael, another well done informative video with just the facts, no hype...love it. Envious thou...my wife really frowns on me spending money on the 350Z just to "wreck it " st the track (her words, not mine 😎).. parts wear out and need replacing..see you have already had to change the tranny...what are your expectations for the engine? What oil do you run and how often do you change it? Thanks again for sharing your car with us.

Impressive young man

Man it’s a real screamer but I love it. I have a 2004 I bought new that is my EDD now but when I retire in a little over a year will become a track car. I already have everything SPL makes for the car. How about the rear differential what does it have?

i enjoyed this video.

Cool walk through, cool Z car, but man is she dirty! You sound like a smart guy, keep your race car clean to identify problems before a failure. Looks tough though

So what lower plunum do you have the de or rev up ?

What single exit diameter would you recommend for a stock HR? Is 3.5 a little large? I realize I won’t necessarily get large power gains I just wanna get rid of my true duals.

I want a my first car to be a 2003 350z, do u think i should start making it a track car after preventitive maintenance? Im asking because im not sure if i can daily a track car lol.

Beautiful

Gorgeous

Thanks for the detailed overview! At what rpm does this engine idle with those aggressive cams?

7:38 scared the crap out of me! XD

Sick ride bro. You could've just swapped it with an HR and start going from there with the rest. You'd probably get much better power.

Did you side- or bottom-mount your racing seat, and would you say it rests about the same, lower, or higher off the floor than the OEM seat did? Did it affect your headroom while wearing a helmet? I'm 6-3 and am thinking about getting a fixed-back racing seat (Corbeau Forza or FX1 Pro), but I'm not sure if it will place me closer or further away from the ceiling as my headroom is already minimal while wearing a helmet and using the OEM seat. Thanks -

What kind and brand of motor oil do you use/recommend for the track? 5W30? 10W40? Do you use racing oil? I almost exclusively use my car for the track now (including driving to and from). I live in VA where ambient temps get hot and humid. I have been using Mobil1 5w30 full synthetic but am suddenly (that I've noticed) burning a bit of oil coming out of the exhaust. Other than dealing with the internals, I'm considering switching to Amsoil Dominator 10W30 or Driven XP9 10W40. I appreciate your time and input, and sorry if you've already answered this question somewhere else.

Thank you, How much does the car weight now ?

Hi Michael, great to see your videos... Have you tried to run with OEM rear sway bar?, does it improve rear grip that way? Thanks!

great stuff, very nice,, job I subed, tks

What kind of engine oil do you use for track days to hold that crazy engine together haha? Makes me want to buy a salvage title 350Z and start gutting it out :)

i dont want to carbon copy your build because it feels like stealing but its such a solid straight to the point build i will definitely be taking inspiration and pointers from this, HRs are getting pricey so making this much out of a DE is great

awesome! What your final drive diff ratio?

DAMN YOU WERE IN BUFFALO!? 😥😲 DAMN

Awesome

so you do not recommend NRG wheel and hub or just wheel?

Look like you get rid of the heather core and the fan..Did you ever had problem with cooling temp or fogging issue inside the windshirld? Should really help with the Koyo rad ;)

Hi Michael, I have a question about the brake. Did you run any additional brake cooling duct? Or did you remove the dust shield?

Do you still have the factory final drive?

How did you get the 285 10.5 +15 to fit up front??! It doesn’t rub??

Just curious what size wing do you have the 61'' or 67"

would the 350z make a good car that you can drive back and forth to track?

Bruh is that a roach at the end of that tail pipe? @ 10:32 😎 i guess they can survive everything 🤣 that ones still stunned from the last track run😭

What material did you use for the splitter

where did you purchase the DS slicks from? in store or online?

How many events do you usually get out of your brake pads?

Drop the spring buckets and get some SPL toe links!

Can you email me full engine mods list I want to build mines N/A and make that hp too

When your ready to sell let me know

Hey Michael a quick thanks for putting out some amazing videos. I’ve just started tracking my 05Z, primarily Willow Springs, ACS and Buttonwillow and loving it. Minimal mods right now; plenum spacer, CAI and upgraded bakes; Carbotech X10 and X8 with Motul. The car runs like a champ but still working on the driver. Best of luck to you sir! Here’s a video from ACS, please excuse the audio: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wN6uAXrlA3U.html

Does not having the front crash bar effect your rigidity at all?

That plenum tho I stay cali who make those beside Canada

Disregard my message on your other video. 330whp from a NA DE is impressive but the amount of money this must of cost why not go turbo? Or at least use ITBs

The audio in this video is so fucked up. The dyno clip is almost like jump scare wtf man
