Everything on this Z looks & sounds freakin phenomenal. Job well done 💪🏻
Thanks for putting this car through the paces on the track, I miss your track driving segments.
Only about half way into the vid, but listing your top 5 lap times would help solidify driver consistency and thus secure one tire as a winner over the other
typical DP passes the end of the front straightaway pit wall with his foot still planted to the firewall and looks over to the camera to provide explanation 😂, nobody rips tech like you DP.
Nice to see a Z car not going smoky-sideways! I've always had an affinity for these cars, and now that they're relatively plentiful and inexpensive, you can make a hell of a nice GT/ performance car. Well done!
Sad to not see this car progress further. But you did a good job giving it a basic track set up. Thanks for the Z love.
what would u add or change
That car would look so good with out that wing.
I really like the detail you go into with these types of videos. Clear and interesting with great driving shots.
"Just exploring the limit....." back end goes and DP counters......great video!
I always appreciate SA's tire comparos done at the track, back to back. And DP's thorough debriefs. Keep at it, boys!
Been waiting for this one!!! I've run Continental ECS on every car for years. Just took first in class at Autocross last week on them vs a field of 200TW Z's too! I'll definitely be swapping up to the Force now after seeing how fast they are!
So glad Conti finally has a tire worthy of the channel!
Man, I'm so glad you guys brought the Z back for a couple episodes before you send it off. It really is a great chassis for grip. People love to talk about the cons, but overall it really is a great drivers car, I love using mine on the track. Great work as always boys, let PowerJDM know I'm in Dallas as well and will be right over to pick up my new Z ;)
I used a 350z 2003 for a dual purpose vehicle couple years ago; it's a great car for this. Kept mine 100 percent stock drive train. Had Z1 suspension arms, oem Brembo brakes with Hawk pads, BC racing coil overs, Hotchkins sway bars, Konig Hypergrams with Federal rr 265's all around. I was able to turn lap times with or better than pricey German name plates costing 10 tens what I had in the Z. I drove it two and from events in total comfort of the full oem interior.
Great shots of the suspension travel, DP! Looks like it could use a bit more compression dampening, but not bad. 👍
You guys produce the best content on CZcams! You all definitely deserve 1,000,000,000 subscribers. Keep up the good work
Never really thought about the sidewall spring rate increase, that completely checks out with how my car has always felt on stickies.
What a great build. Looks like a weapon out there. Love the Mod My Car series. Thx guys
B E A U T I F U L!!.
Amazing car, great video as usual. Good luck with sale and hopefully the new owner will hit the track a lot :D
I always love your driving videos / reviews!
Really great explanation of the tyre characteristics!
Great tyre tips DP. Thank you for the comparisons.
Great to see some track action back on the channel!
Looks amazing! Awesome work.
Nice to see you guys back at the track!
Really excited to try the new Contis, thanks for testing.
I love these types of videos!
Great editing on this one!
Seems like a great car. That G rating is extreme.
Can I like this video more than once?!?! Freakin love these tire comparisons on the track!!
LOVE these track videos so much ❤
Honestly, the ECSs are a tire i recommend to anybody who goes to the track for the first time. Super predictable and the last a looong time. Also, absolutely phenomenal in the wet (A lot of us run them as rain tires still).
Been curious about the ECFs for our Champcar Miata. Right now we've been running the RS4s because it was kind of the go-to for Enduros for a long time, however the ECF is tickling my fancy quite a bit. Wet performance definitely will be a factor!
Degrees and KPH! Thank you for including this!
Keep up the good work ❤️
Fuel level float is hung up in the (plastic?) sump - the float has it's own little sump, outside of the fuel pump which it's own dedicated sump also.
Love the track videos
goddamn that Zed looks sick! very well done gentleman
Love it!
Great video guys, it's too bad there won't be a part 3 where the car either goes FI or gets the full NA bolt-on install & tune. I had a FBO DE coupe for 7 years, though not a revup which this seems to be going by the 7K shifts. That 5600 ish RPM to 7K band feels great and the car never fails to deliver... if this is indeed a revup I hope "precautions" or reliability mods are on the agenda before the giveaway. The new-to-me 2007 GT roadster (HR) I got in August is also AX6 Redline, and in September the car got gloss black Enkei Kojins wrapped in Conti ECS (18X8.5 +25 w/ 245/40R18; 18X9.5 +15 w/ 265/40R18). Same colour theme, same street tires. This video was FOOD for me.
When I do autocross with 340tw I get beat by roughly 2.5 seconds by the 200tw guys every time. I'm not surprised.
I ran 275 square on my HR for a long time. If you go down to 255/17/40 the value proposition looks alot better but probably doesn't look as good and you lose a little grip. The drivetrain was dead reliable. It was a fun track day car.
Yup, just entered. A few stickers and a key ring should be enough to put this in my garage, don't ya think? 😍
Going to the site after this video to get a chance to enter!👍
Ive got extremecontact sports for my Q50 and its the best street tires Ive had.
Can’t wait to see how they do at the national level
Awesome review! What tire pressures did you run for both tires?
Is it supposed to tell you if you were entered when you buy something
I had a problem with my fuel gauge on my 02 S15, it worked perfectly with BP 98 octane but hated Shell 98…
Wow so it ran the same time as the Tesla? For being pretty stock I think it’s awesome!
man this is making me question what fun car I want to get, I was thinking of going for a c5 vette since they seem to be one of the best performance values, and while I do like them, I know deep down I want something japanese
This really is a sleeper car for track use. With a set of good brakes and suspension mods, the Z has enough power stock to still be quick and not feel underpowered like the BRZ/FRS do.
dam i should have been subscribed last year i love 35os! my wife wont let me spend money on one though but a giveaway she would have no problem lol.
Do front canards that are mounted like that add any downforce to the front, or is it just more of a style piece. Kinda interested since a lot of the cars that i see with canards have this style, but a lot of other more "serious" cars have some crazy stuff going on in the front
that last corner with the wall right there scares me
I fancy one of these 350z's now, good money but I think worth the few extra £££
Just wondering how much can you be faster with a set of r compound like ar1?
It’s a really common issue with the fuel gauge, it’s just the secondary fuel level fails
i’m in the UK and have entered to win this giveaway i hope i still can what a sick car
What were the camber settings for this car? Track tire pressures?
Me watching this while sitting on my Z. 🤔
How would you compare Fortune 500 coilovers vs bc coilovers?
Could you use continental force for drag racing?
Good luck fixing the fuel gauge.
My Z does it too...
I can't get over all the shades of red this car has 😅
Are we not going to talk about how his sunglasses are on point?
This car is CLEAN.
Would a slightly more aggressive angle on the rear wing improve anything?
You have a unique definition of clean.
YESSIR
Fuel gauge on my Z doesn't work either
Does anyone know exactly what those black rims are called???
カッコいいです👍
Which body kit is that?! 😍
the fuel gauge on my 240sx stopped working after the car sat for a while, i assume its just a little rust on the fuel level bobber. A trick i learned is just slam all the doors shut a few times and itll break the level sensor loose and itll start working again
Anyone know where I can buy that Nismo rear bumper?
It screams !!
Jezzzz louuizzz...i want that car..
What’s up with that legacy in the trailer?
Had to laugh at the pricing comment. The cheapest 350z I could find within 300miles was $14k and it had over 100k miles on it. Everything is absolutely ridiculous right now!
In Ontario, where these guys are, nice DE's are going for 13-16K CAD and nice HR's are going for 18-21K. Prices are up 25-30% from where they were 4-5 years ago.
Not a Z fan but a cool car is still a cool car 🤷♂️
It has a stereo. It just doesn't play in stereo.
When does the giveaway end?
Dat Legacy GT
Since these are road legal tires it would be nice to see a wet test.
But does it have A/C??
Fast and Funniest, Ontario Drifts
Why do you have 2 oil pressure gauges?
The AEM one is a real-time accurate display where the factory one is slow to respond and an approximation.
contemplating moving to the United States just so I have a chance of winning this beauty
Love the channel, love the videos,
but holy FUCK THE MUSIC D:
Do you guys know anyone with a Taycan? I'd be curious what your opinion of it is on track. I know you don't love the corner exit behavior of Teslas 😂
Whos legacy in trailer???? Future build? Asking for a friend...
First!!!!! 370 all the way
third
Is the car gonna get air conditioning?
No AC for this thing.
Fuel top hat is broken !! Easy fix
Will look into that thanks!
Connie
love being #420
Seems like you aren’t taking advantage of a 10.5 inch wheel with a 275 tire. Why not save weight and money and run a 10” or even less?
You’re splitting hairs at this point, 10 vs 10.5 will be negligible in weight and money. Truth be told, Konig doesnt offer a 10 otherwise we’d likely on up on that.
ok gimmie
First
second
They’re not affordable
I've owned a Z33 back in the day. I loved it back then and love it still. The nismo body kit is my favorite kit. Seeing the nismo 380rs in best motoring I fell in love with it. Who gets this in murica will love this! Also LETS GO BRANDON!
Ass whooping in the near future
Ew DE
Those cars were extremely under powered. He was basically floor boarded the whole entire lap lol. Do some engine mods before the giveaway!
Thats quite an overstatement, this car is plenty quick for its day.
@@speedacademy I have to disagree. The 03-04 cobra mustang and LS1 Camaro was out back then. Swapped 240s and Honda's also were too much for them.
@@youcanevaporate5961 That limited production Cobra with independent suspension is hauling 400 more lbs than the Z33 (also GL finding one..?). That gen F-body needed mods to keep up with curvy tracks. Z cars were always built for balance, not straight line racing. I mean, you crap on the old stock VQ35DE but then bring up swapped 240's? Odd logic. Not sure what Hondas you were thinking about either, S2000's are in another price range and everything else from Honda in that era loses to the Z off the line -- no traction, no torque. Out of the box in time attack, none of the cars you specifically mentioned have the clear upper hand on the Z33.
@@jacquesc3166 All the cars I mentioned can be set up to compete with the 350z in time attack.. Any of the popular swaps for a 240 will out run a 350z ... They where just faster than average cars that's about it. They look cool though. One of the best looking cars from that time period.
A 1:20 is actually a pretty good time at tmp
hot dang. cool to see the homosexuals being into cars! Nice
this a 20 min commercial
Good sir, they are mentioned in the previous video
@@speedacademy where is the build part of this video?
@@SuperPeterchow did you watch the first part? If not then dont complain
