bizz Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Went to Driftland at the weekend in Fife scotland, just thought how epic this Zed will be round it. I hope its a track you will add in your calendar. If so let me know so I can come ! ! 100% I'll be up there at some point and I will definitely let you know. There will be some private testing once the car is done (private so I don't make a complete ass of myself lol) but I will then make sure that each of the days I will be going to will be posted up so you guys can all come and have a look and hopefully a passenger ride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May even bring some work clothes (now that the sound deadening has been removed! lol Think it should only be a couple of weeks man so yeah come on over when its done.

bizz Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi Guys, Just wanted to let you know that I haven't died or given up with the car, it's still at Clark Customs being caged It's been a mixture of Jason getting pulled away from the project by emergency work at his other job and me changing the design of the cage and adding new bits in. The cage is currently in position, with the door bars TIG'ed in so its starting to look really smart. Last night Jay was making the extra bars which are coming off the A-pillar support and going forward to the turrets. Really pining for the car now as I can't really get on with anything else until its back of my other subframes arrive :'( So if anyone wants to come round and take me out for a spin in their 350z or if you need some work done let me know :-P lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Can't believe I've only just seen this, engrossing reading your updates and I love a pic.

bizz Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Cheers guys is coming along slowly. It's been away being caged longer than i was hoping but it'll be perfect when it returns. I can then plough on with the rest of the build so eventually I can bring it out to meet you all :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be 100% drift car but will hopefully also be on the road :-P As I seriously missed having my skyline on the road when I modified that. It's main purpose will be drifting and will be trailed most places, like Stevo said the last thing I want is to be stranded somewhere after a minor drift accident. I'm going to do my best to get it back on the road once this is all complete though so I can actually drive it to meets, etc. Insurance is going to be the killer Also it's going to be pretty noisey, hot and rough but it'll be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizz Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 So on Saturday I thought I'd see if I could swap the internals from my Skyline GTR diff into my 350Z casing... GTR Left - 350Z (a bit rusty) Right Originally I was hoping that I would be able to just put the rear cover plate from the 350 on to the GTR and it would be an easy swap but they were so different on the outside that would never be the case. So next I thought I might be able to pull the Nismo GT Pro 2-way diff out of my casing and put in the Z one... GTR Z Bit too much of a difference to swap the two So now I'm trying to work out whether to sell the diff from my skyline and buy a new Nismo Pro that will fit the 350 or modify the rear subframe to accept the skyline diff. It's either going to be a lot of money or a lot of time lol. Keep watching to see what I decide :-P If you have any preference/recommendations/comments/knows someone that want's a complete GTR diff feel free to let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep watching to see what I decide :-P If you have any preference/recommendations/comments/knows someone that want's a complete GTR diff feel free to let me know Might be worth sending a message to Paul Cheshire of team falken uk. He's running 800 odd hp out of a 2JZ through the 350z (G35 technically!) diff and he's had to use different shafts as he kept snapping the standard 350z ones. I'm presuming he's done something to the diff as I've never seen him having diff issues. Edited September 2, 2013 by Dedman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
