By now everyone knows that Z Car Garage just hosted an awesome event on the Follow The Nissan Z tour and we took the chance to try out a new wheel option. The obvious choice are the R35 GT-R wheels that we have off our shop GT-R. They fit perfectly which could make this the hot ticket when the 370z hits market. Check it out
This car was brought to our shop by our friends at GO370Z.com and Nissan Sport magazine. Check out their sites.
Please give me a few moments today to go through all the photos from the road trip with the 370z. The pictures are amazing. Check back in a few

After the amazing turnout yesterday at Z Car Garage in San Jose we were able to gather up around 40 cars (mostly Zs of all years!) to make the trip of about 2 hours out to Sacramento for the next stop. The quality of cars was top notch as usual and the company of other Zs on the road is always appreciated.
With the Z faithful set to head out, the HIN crew and Nissan and the two 370Zs (with our own Robert Fuller at the helm of the blue car) set out on our way to the show just outside of Sacramento. We were able to get so much great footage taken by the Nissan/HIN/ZCG group that I just want to share all of it with our readers and friends. Impressive is an understatement.
The caravan to the dealer was a blast and went by all to quickly, and after driving along side the new Nissan 370Z for an hour and a half I am definitely more than impressed. I should get a first hand driving experience tomorrow but Rob’s long stint today behind the wheel did nothing but impress the Z car aficionado. Rob quoted, “I couldn’t be happier with the improvements that the new Z has made. The next Z car is here and it will rock!” Enough said.
With the 370Z and the 350Z side by side it is easy to see how improved the new chassis and power delivery are. Along side our powerhouse cars on the drive today the 370Z held it’s ground! Go Nissan!
Here are a few pictures to hold you over until I round up all the media from the different sources on the Follow The Nissan Z tour. There is so much more to come and we start the next 9 hour leg of the tour all the way to Las Vegas tomorrow!!

With the GT-R on the new HREs we decided to try the fitment of the stock R35 wheels on the shop G35. The wheels look killer on the car but they do not fit up front in stock form. I needed to put some spacers on the front to clear the factory Brembos and to move it away from the king pin. As you can see in the suspension picture the curb saver on the tire still contacts after the spacers were added.
I am determined to get this to work because the wheels do look so amazing. They kind of remind me of a new school Panasport wheel. I have seen pictures of a 350Z with these wheels on so if anyone has any info on how they made the fitment work please let me know. All it may need is a tire change and a small spacer to gain the clearance needed. Please, please forward me pictures or info on this wheel change if you can find any. Thanks!! GT-Rs rule.
Here are some new pictures of the forthcoming Nissan 370z that I found while wandering around the black hole that is the Internet. Enjoy!
