Nissan has finally wrapped up work on its crowd-sourced project
370Z. The company put the sports car on a dyno for final tuning and wound up with somewhere around 504 horsepower. That's not too shabby given the jump in gusto was gleaned from a few bolt-on parts.
Nissan then set about fitting the steering wheel and shift nob as chosen by the teaming internet masses. A set of custom
Recaro seats also replaced factory buckets. With the interior squared away, the company turned its eye toward ironing out the exterior.
A set of lightweight forged
Volk wheels took the place of the factory rollers, and a new matte grey vinyl wrap took care of the standard yellow paint. Nissan debuted its creation at Z Dayz last weekend.
Scroll down for a look at the video for yourself.

Nissan has already begun spinning wrenches on the company's crowd-sourced
project 370Z, and the automaker has been kind enough to craft a well-made video documenting the build. Fans of the brand chose a
GReddy twin turbo kit, which should crank up the 3.7-liter V6 to the tune of around 500 horsepower. The Stage One clip follows the build as technicians dismantle the front of the sports car, yank the engine and bolt on the aftermarket goods. Fans also chose a GReddy Ti-C catback exhaust to help the engine breathe a little easier while hustling down the track, so the pipes go on next.
Nissan plans on documenting the full build before unveiling the project at the upcoming
ZDayz 2012. If you're curious about the creation, you can follow along on the
Nissan Performance Facebook page. In the mean time,
scroll down to check out the video for yourself.

Nissan has turned to Autoblog for help picking one of the vehicle's most important systems: the suspension.
Nissan knows how passionate fans of the company's
370Z can be. The enthusiast community has long embraced the Z as a capable performer right out of the box and a willing platform that accepts a wide range of aftermarket modifications. The Japanese automaker has something special planned for this year's
ZDayZ event in May. Each year, Z fans from all over the country descend on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, and this time, they'll have a chance to take a look at a very special vehicle when they aren't bombing down the infamous
Tail of the Dragon.
The company is building the ultimate 370Z track car by allowing fans to vote which components will be used in the project, and they've turned to Autoblog for help picking one of the vehicle's most important systems: the suspension.
In order to keep things civil, the choices have been limited to three options from some of the biggest names in aftermarket handling.
Follow the jump for a look at the choices and cast your vote. Polling will be open for a full week before the figures are tallied.

As we look at these first live photos of the newly-defanged Z taken here at the Chicago Auto Show this morning, let's also take a quick recap of the differences between the 2012 Nissan 370Z and the new
2013 Nissan 370Z. All, like, two of them.

Those pondering why you'd launch a sports car in Chicago in the middle of February will get their answer when they look at the photos of the 2013 Nissan 370Z. This is the least you can do to a car and call it an upgrade. Look, vertical LED daytime running lights!

Fifth Gear host
Tiff Needell had such a good time throwing the
Renault Sport Megane 265 Trophy around the track that it made him ask a silly question. Could the 261-horsepower, front-wheel drive, four-seat hot hatch lap quicker than the 324-hp, rear-wheel drive, two-seat Nissan 370Z?
This version of the
Renault lapped the
Nürburgring in 8:07.97, the
quickest front-wheel-drive road car on the timing sheet. Even so, 63 hp down and more than 70 pounds heavier by gross weight, one could expect the Megane to have a hard time even keeping up with the Z. But on a wet track and at the hands of
Subaru Rally driver and James Bond stunt driver Mark Higgins (he of the
epic Isle of Man save), expectations have a way of going sideways.
Follow the jump for the video to find out which one is more fun and which one is quicker.
