Wanted VQ Engine DE (not revup or HR) forged or standard what do you have?

Shipping: SWEDEN

went will the full set front rear and the traction rods...

Bought

How are these holding up for you? had my lower rear arm snap on track so looking to replace the junk thats there at the moment (front and rear)

 

OUCH - that's really not good

I hope you've emailed them with photo's etc ?

 

I just had a recent geo done (more neg camber to tuck the bolt into the arm more), only once I've had to tighten one of the nuts up. But I've marked them (and other arms) so I can visually check before a hard drive.

 

Ultimately I'd go with SPL if doing regular track days.

Dont think Ichiba cares one bit...

Thanks for the info!

Hi mate. Im on driftworks camber arms. They look and feel very stout! Not a good as spl but cheapssss

good enough for me!

>in basket, checkout imminent, did you get instructions on how to set the camber etc? Sounds handy enough to dial in a few degrees on track then change it for the road.

So got the lady out on a track this weekend, 7th of May Kinnekulle Ring, pretty fun track although pretty short but technical enough to make it interesting... a bit too interesting when my camber arm snapped on me and threw me off track.

Clip here:

(started in the "slow" group wanted to test out the akebono setup and get a feel for the car and learn the lines... turned out it wasnt that slow of a group!)

Got tutoring by a well known profile and started getting proper lines before my little off.

Currently sourcing new arms all corners since the Chinese crap that has been used up til now doesn't seem to last very well. Anyone know if the driftworks kit is holding up? SPL would be the choice if the pockets said yes

Im hoping its only the one arm thats broken and nothing else, had little time to look the car over (had 300km back home) so managed to source a place to store the car and sort her out later on.

Wow anders, it's taken you over a year to build s swirl tank mate :lol:

 

Glad you graced us with your presence and update of your journey with the zed 👊
Keep it coming..

Thanks dude, I know mad right lol... slow progress... hahaha

Andlid !

i haven't seen you in like 6 years,

remember this day lol

 

i see you moved away, and WOW just read through this whole thread, that's some amount of work done

I remember! haha, things happened since then! how are you keeping?

Here is the akebonos:

(hybrid brembos)

Currently it looks like above, AN fitting to the pipe after some slight modifications. Lower pipe to go to the lower hose on the radiator, one of the top ones from the radiator *previously gone to the expansion tank the other top one will go to the old expansion tank. Hoping to see this improve the splurting, air in the system.

The turbo hose will connect to the AN. *if it fits

Ok, so what happened in here? Nothing much! Other priorities took over. Bought a house last year and almost "Lost" the Z! Managed to hold on but barely and this year looks to be a hard one for the Z...

Other news?

New Akebonos fitted! (almost) waiting for some rear handbrake items from here actually hoping to get this all sorted this weekend, waiting for this snow to go away too!

Started to build my new swirl/header tank pot thingy my jiggy. Will wait and see if this sorts the splurting water issue with APS.

Looking to get a custom intake to replace the SSV kinetix mani. | more news to come here shortly I hope.

After MOT this year goodies will be installed *I hope... priorities this year is to drive, drive, drive, track!

.

A friend and I built a wing that would do a DRS type thing on the straight and flip to an air brake when the brake pedal was pushed. We fitted it to our trackday car.

 

The internet totally slated it. Apparently we were idiots because it wasn't tested in a wind tunnel.

that works though, not always allowed to have an active wing. Seen it in action, looks awesome.

Jesus

great work, things happening in the Z "shed" time to get a new name?

Now can you add on some wing and lip and diffusers on that and make CFD on it, print it out and give it to me please? Looks cool regardless!

You should speak to OllyB mate and offer your advise, his seemed to scrape the inner barrel.

Ah get you now, I'll pop him a mess

What do you mean? It's working fine

Just to state that Akebono BBK with adapters work with 18" RAYS V1 and aslo 18" G35 wheels **

CZP adapters used, no need for spacers.

** after some shimming of the caliper

don't forget to have pockets to maintain the setup you go for

and this @*!# is addictive as hell so once you pop you cant stop*

*melody from pringles add goes here.

Highest amount of downforce at the lowest possible amount of drag = win win

*don't forget to match with a solid lip and possibly a flat floor and a massively stupid diffuser

I didn't mean to start a war guys!

 

I just noticed the speed related effect occurring on the boot lid,

as a result of the fact the red light was bugging me when I noticed it after setting off.

 

I used the term wing because that's what everybody seems to call them on here.

 

Something is going on with the air flow, but I have to admit I haven't read up on any theory.

Anyway I'm prepared to be enlightened, so carry on...

You didn't really? According to Nissan the Nismo kit does create downforce as a package the wing alone I can't answer for but I would consider it making drag and downforce how much one can guess without figures or testing to back anything up. I saw a 370Z testing of the Nismo wing on youtube, gave some facts but not actual downforce numbers. *if any

Doesn't really relate to the OPs question?

Your spoiler doesn't create any downforce at all. Drag yes, downforce no.

That's a spoiler and a wing though...

Cheers for the bump

Will try and get the owner to post up his new build, its going to the moon...
