Most of the time, we get to watch cars slowly evolve, as our friends and colleagues continuously add quality parts and build their perfect car. Other times, a build comes roaring out of nowhere and takes us all by surprise. Jay Jancetic’s 2009 Nismo Edition 370Z is one of those builds. Jay picked the car up in the Spring of 2011 and wasted no time sending the car over to the Z fanatics at Project X to get his dream build started. His first summer with the car was spent getting his stance just right, picking out his perfect wheels, and planning. Jay’s plan was to surprise everyone with one of the best built 370Z’s in the country. 2012 was spent building the car with that goal in mind. Currently the car is running in the 500-600WHP range while breaking in the motor, and the next step is to turn the boost up to an easily supported 800+ WHP. With a plethora of high quality and unique parts, it looks like few could argue that Jay has indeed reached his goal.
Jay chose the Nismo Edition 370Z over its regular brethren for a number of reasons. Primarily, though, the fact that it came with great looking functional aero and suspension upgrades sealed the deal.
The custom built Project X skateboard rack is more than just a hipster addition. Jay parks his Z eight blocks from his home in the city, and uses his skateboard to commute around the area. Something was needed to keep the board from sliding all over the car!
Stance coilovers, SPC camber components, and massive 20×10/20×11 Work Gnosis GS2 wheels wrapped in 275/295 Hankook Ventus V12 tires keep this Z planted to the ground and looking great. Click here for a 1920×1080 wallpaper
Status seats and harnesses nestled into the 4point roll bar keep Jay safe and secure in his car, no matter what he is up to.
The extremely rare Ings+1 Z Power dry carbon GT Wing rounds out Jay’s aero package. This is the only dry carbon Ings+1 wing ever imported into the United States, not just for the Z, but for any vehicle.
The heart of Jay’s build is a fully built GTM twin turbo VQ37 powerplant, fully wire tucked, and placed into a shaved engine bay, color matched to his brakes. This attention to detail can be found throughout Jay’s 370Z.
WP Pro brakes consisting of 6 pot front calipers and 4 pot rear calipers, resting on massive 385 MM rotors all around, eliminate the brake fade common to 370Z’s.
The command center of Jay’s 370Z shows his affinity for clean and functional upgrades. A custom mounted Zeitronix gauge set up, his coveted Tommy Kiara “Hebi Bebi” shift knob, and many other quality modifications connect him to his machine and add to his driving excitement.
