CTO Project 370Z
September 2nd, 2009 by john
Do we work on a lot of Nissan Z’s? Yes! But now we have a new Z Chassis to play with.. the 370Z!
Charlie from Kallusive clothing (www.kallusive.com) and City Tire have been working on this new project for the past couple of months.
First and foremost is some new rubber. We decided to go all out for an upcoming track day, and wrapped his 19″ wheels with some Yokohama Advan Neova AD08. Considered the best performing tire in its class, the new AD08 is gripper and better in wet traction than its predeccesor (AD07). Another great advantage over tires in its class is that it lasts about 1 and a half times longer than the competition. Not to mention the 19″ sizing that they offer now!!!

With better tires.. we decided to go with some intense braking power. Stoptech big brake kit with 380mm rotors! It really filled up the front wheel with this set up. Looks and feels amazing. Hit us up if you are interested in any kind of brake work. Whether its OEM replacement, or a big brake kit such as this Stoptech kit we’ll get you oufitted in no time!
Now to get this project setup the right way for the weekends track event we needed suspension! The picture above is of our tech Oscar measuring out the KW Variant 3 coilover setup for the 370Z. KW has been a proven brand in performance and reliability on a various amounts of applications. Let us know what setup you’d like to go with and we can definitely point you in the right direction when choosing your suspension application.
With the new KW Variant 3 Coilovers and Stoptech Big Brake Kit installed, it was time for some ride height adjusting and alignment. All done in house!
Even Oscar has to appreciate all the hard work that was put into the car thus far. But the story doesn’t end here. There are some big plans for this project!
We would also like to take this time to thank Tanabe for using the 370Z as a test car to dress it up with a Touring Medallion Exhaust earlier this year. It sounds like a beast with a nice freeflowing exhaust. Quality parts as always from Tanabe!
