The 370s I've taken out haven't been any "rougher" than the 350s I've driven, including the new 370 NISMO. The same engine is in the G37 Coupes, did they say the same thing about it as well? Or is it a matter of taste when it comes to ride quality? A Z isn't going to cushion your butt like a G is.

I'm on it with the safety equipment... the seat I chose are designed for racing, and include the gear for 4-point harnesses. [thumbup]

Not sure what I'm going to go with as far as the roll-cage is concerned. My cousin builds everything from hotrods, to dragsters and even bog racers... so having him build a custom cage won't be a problem. I haven't seen cells available yet for the 370s, but it's on the short-list!

I haven't decided on the block builder to do the work either. SFR is a likely candidate, but there are lots of other VQ3x builders out there. I'm definitely getting it Darton sleeved. Most people had the VQ35s out to 4.1-4.2 for large TT applications, so I'll likely stick to what the builders already know... There are quite a few TT Zs putting down 1200+whp w/ the 4.2 under the hood. The goal is to keep the boost between 20-24, but the block will be built to handle out past 30 if need be.

Today I found a shop to do the upholstery... The seats will be in a black leather with Recaro's suede dyed to match the HoK paint on the exterior. The rest of the interior will be a coordination of black leather, the dyed suede and dry carbon fiber. I'm partial to MOMO harnesses, shift knobs and pedals...

I would prefer to go with a Kenwood 7" DVD/GPS head unit, but the rest I am impartial about... as long as it sounds GOOD. I'll go with an Escort 9500ci for radar/laser, which includes zr4 shifters... maybe by the time we're ready for that they'll have integrated beltronics' STI tech into a newer model that has the built-in GPS. I'll also have a Wilson Communication wireless 3G cellular relay/booster. Motorola digital scanner and radio are likely inclusions as well.

For security I'll go with a Viper 2-way with remote-start. I was originally planning on ditching my iPhone when the BB Bold 9700 is released, but between the Wyse thin-client app and Viper app, I may keep it around!

I'm setting up a website to document the build, so I'll share the URL when the time comes! It's gonna be serious fun!
