Ning Dong originally purchased his 2006 Nissan 350Z as a daily driver, and intended to keep it stock. After a trip to the track, he knew it was too late and began modifying what he once thought would stay factory. Over the years, Dong's 350Z has seen many iterations, inspired by Japanese GT racing, touge racing, and time attack.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"Voltex Rear Diffuser. Looks great, and I get a lot of compliments on it. Took me 9 months from Japan back in 2012."
FUTURE MODIFICATIONS:
"I’ve moved to a different platform these days (Honda S2000), but I will continue to refine it. The motor is rock solid and burns a little oil but if it gets out of hand I will swap it and rebuild for boost."
