370z Nurburgring Edition: Not for US, Not that Special

Filed under: 350z
by Forbes @ 12:11 pm on

I’m not quite sure how I missed this news in the automotive blog universe but it seems that Nissan has plans to release a special Nurburgring edition 370z to commemorate the entrance of a 370z in the 24hrs of Nurburgring in May.  So far the car is only set to be released in Germany and only 80 are going to produced.

The only real differences from a standard 370z will be special “Premium Ultimate Yellow” paint, special decals (Nür Spec?), slightly wider tires, and an exhaust system change that should result in more beautiful Nissan sounds.  No other mechanical changes have been announced at this time to indicate any improvement in performance which is why I think this special edition isn’t so special.

I haven’t found any photos of the finished car yet but the expected price with current exchange rates is going to be around $72,000.  Why not just by two 370Zs right?

The time has come to turn up the heat and get these projects out the door and into the hands of the owners.  Fred has been chomping at the bit to install the engine into this Z32 after he finished the final assembly last month, and last week he got the green light.

The car has lots of trick modifications, like the custom diffuser, so make sure to take a look at each of the photos.  Ken at Roost Billet Products was also able to make custom GTZ hold-downs for the coil packs that are required for the unique stand-alone ECU that this car runs, a subtle but nice detail.

We will be up and running sometime this week I hope and we can’t wait to break it in and then get to tuning on the dyno.  This car was making some crazy numbers on the old engine so we are all anxious to see what it will put out now.

I will have more on this one very soon!




350z Around Laguna Seca Part 2

I figured that since we will be taking the ZCG 370z back to the track in the next couple of weeks I should finally post up the second video that Scott filmed in his track 350z.  I hope that this will hype some of you up to join us on the track in the near future.

Don’t forget that ZCG can prepare your car for your next track event!

This one is for you Scott.




Event: ZONC Feather River Run!!

The great people over at the ZONC organization have put together another fun cruise for all of us to attend.  This time the group will be heading from the meet-up point in Sacramento all the way up to Truckee, CA (North Lake Tahoe are) along scenic Highway 70.

Having spent lots of time in this area I can say that this run offers some of the nicest views and one of the most unique drives within a few hours of the Bay Area.  The RSVP deadline was set for last Friday so if you still plan on attending please contact them ASAP so that they can make the appropriate arrangements for the drive.  See the all the information on the flyer below (click for larger)! Thanks Curtis!

I will be trying to attend this trip if I can clear my weekend so I hope to see you out there!
