Nice! Love to see a proper LS build. 

Would it be possible to ship it to the Netherlands? And how much would shipping be if so? 

Hoppa! 

Great work! Cant wait to hear this lady run. 

Damn! Thats sexy! 

Leon! Can't wait to take it out for a spin. Let's see what your car is gonna do against mine.

Wanted to do something different the last few sunny months. So got myself some GT-R wheels. Doesn't look bad in my opinion. 

Interested. You never know...

Finally the US front bumper with carbon lip got newly sprayed! Looks great if you tell me.   

Only have to wait a week or four to get it protected with Xpel and Gyeon coat.

Don’t see why not so long as you pay postage!

Sorry not needed anymore. Wanted to help a friend, but he found a pair himself. Sorry!  But I will keep this in mind in case someone else is looking for them. 

Got the right airbag connectors for my 370 Nismo seats, no airbag light anymore. 

Ordered a new shift knob.  Now I need to search for a black handbrake. 

To bad I've also got a HR problem... The steering pump is dying. But got a new one lying around. Now only need some time to get it fitted. 

Damn! Nice car! 

Normally it's better to have a bit more side wall on your race car. A Z is quite heavy and needs the shoulders to get more grip on cornering. Take a look at the better full spec racecars. They all have slick tyres with sizes of 650 to 720mm high side walls. 

That's the problem I've got with my 20 inch wheels. 18's would be way better with my suspension. 

Still love blue on a Z! Looks great!

Hi! Willing to ship to the Netherlands? 

Those wheels really look sexy on a 350Z. Love them! 

Decided to clean the bottom because of all the salt we got in Wales.  And just to be sure everything underneath was ok. Since I hit the underneath of the car a couple of times.  

The wheels needed some love too. Hahah. 

A bit dusty and salty underneath. 

This will do... 

Got to give the Intrax suspension some extra love. 

Soaking... 

Now I'm feeling better.  

I totally forgot I got 370Z Nismo seats lying around! Decided to put them in and store my freshly painted Alezan seats in the garage. Damn! What a difference does it make. Why didn't I put them in earlier?  These seats have so much more support in cornering. It feels like I've got a new car again! 

Airbags aren't working at the moment... I just found out a HR has so much more in common with a 370Z. Even the connectors for the side airbags are the same. And since I changed the connectors to fit my DE I have to change them again.  And ofcourse in search for a different gear knob and get a black handbrake.

Some nice part for the car and great to see you out driving it too!!

 

See Wales hung to a bit of snow and ice for you, bet that made it interesting!! Anglesey is a fantastic circuit, bet the 4.08 final drive was great round there? Makes a huge difference over stock doesn’t it?

I was very tempted to go with the 4.08 over the 3.9 but wasn’t sure if it would make the motorway cruising that bit too much hard work with the revs being that bit higher. How did you find it?? What sort of revs were you cruising on motorways at? 

It makes a real big difference! On the track it was spot on, but also on those twisty UK roads. It just keeps on pulling through the revs. 

Some of the guys with their more powerfull cars were really surprised.  It makes quite some revs on the motorways, but it really depends

on which exhaust you've got if it's annoying. I believe it's doing 3.000 RPM when I'm driving 130 km/h. It saves me some speeding tickets. 

Normally I'm always speeding now I can keep it a bit slower because of the more revs.  

Really looks cool a RB powered Z. 

I like the wheels! 

Aaaaaaaand it got some goodies yet again.  

Finally I've got some fresh rubber. So we've got some grip. And also got myself a new clutch/flywheel since I wanted to get a light flywheel again. 

I had a ACT clutch lying around from a HR swap I wanted to do in my old DE, so the flywheel wasn't going to fit. Luckily a friend of mine got a Z1 light flywheel lying around. 

Must say it works fine. Pedal is much heavier then OEM and ofcourse I've got the gearbox chatter again. I don't care so much. It runs really great. 

Also I changed my diff! Must say it's a huge difference! Got the 4.08 final drive and some kind of limited slip differential. Not sure which brand.

But it locks both wheels a little bit more, traction out of a corner is much much much better now. Also got some Whitline bushes fitted along with the diff. 

Not sure if I'm going to keep those. Yes it looks like it's more direct on throttle, but it also gives some more noises and vibrations. 

Also got my enginebay got a little bit more love since I got rid of my OEM airfilter boxes. 

This was the building part! A few weeks ago we went on a fundraising rally to Wales for a charity I'm driving for. Damn! What a trip. I just love England so much. So much fun to drive and fantastic roads you've got over there! Also got to drive an entire day on Anglesey. Loved every minute of driving over there! My Z was doing great! And ofcourse I've got some photos from our trip. 

Let's see.... Have we got some more plans?  Next up is my US clean front bumper with Mines carbon lip. And it needs some tinted windows again. But I will do this later this year. Don't want to do everything at once. Now I can enjoy it a little bit more. 

When you gonna start with building the engine? :P 

Wish I could join you... Been there three years ago.   

I wish they produced the Greddy Revolution RS exhaust again...

Didn't realise you were on 20's......could ditch a load of unsprung weight as well as give yourself a better choice of rubber moving to 18/19 as you say.......if those sort of gains are of interest to you, I know its not everyone's main goal and aesthetics play a big part.

 

Sponsorship must make your decision easier so fair enough!................Not tempted to run the r888r then? Especially if they're coming cheap

Neah. I had R888 on the Supra for two years. Wear and tear is just not much fun and they make a lot of noise. 

But the Z is my daily, so as you said I'm looking for the best of two worlds. Maybe if I've got some money left this year I'm gonna look for some nice 18 of 19 inch wheels.
