Vehicle Spotlight -- Erik's 350z Track Car
Posted January 27, 2012 By Scott Vanderheide
   

 

Erik came to us with this build with the goal of making this car a reliable track day car he could enjoy on the weekends as he develops his driving skills for competition.  Erik had recently purchased the vehicle from an owner that had already started prepping it for the track...so Erik already had gotten a good head start!

 

 

Erik started the transformation with a brand new VQ35DE motor with a slew of new parts to make the car reliable and safe.  Installs performed here at Fontana Nissan by Technician Guy Franzen. 

 

We asked Erik a few questions about himself and the car, and this how it went!

Posted January 20, 2012 By Scott Vanderheide
   

 

Fontana Nissan and NissanRaceShop.com would like to introduce the newest project car to add to our team of quality cars.  This vehicle is more than a little special to us.  Its a reminder of where we've come from and where we're going. This classic 1972 Datsun 240z was aquired about 8 months ago by our very own Master Technician, Chris Heimburg.  Chris found this diamond in the rough, ignored its current condition and saw a vision of what it could be.  He also saw this as a way to spend some quality time with his 15 year old son, Billy, as an educational project race car.  The education Billy will receive while working on this project is an education you couldn't pay for.  Side by side, one on one instruction on how a vehicle runs from ground up...Billy is well aware of the opportunity put in his lap, and has already shown enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn.  Stay tuned as Chris and Billy transform this junkyard gem into a fully functional track car!

 


 

When first acquired, the car wasn't in the best of shape.  It had its usual dings and dents, and lots of rust!  But ...
