My Little weekend project.....

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but is the wing the wrong way round, ie, should you not spin it 180? I just look at wings all day long, and that looks abit weird to me, like it wont create any downforce at all.

Epic car by the way, love it. :thumbs:

Haha.. That's the first thing my dad said! "you sure that's on the right way round?!?"

 

Yep!

 

Yeah the isf is awesome.. Like a daily nascar.. Gear changes are fast as hell, and the car really moves. Very easy to drive fast plus it's quite and not shouty when your just nipping down the shops too :)

I've been watching far to many videos with 12c's and P1's shooting massive flames out that back and though "I fancy that" lol..

 

I'm currently tunes with osiris but to get fuel into the overrun/gear change I'm looking at moving over to syvecs S6.

 

Need to finish off the seats and steering wheel etc plus get some rear end grip before I go this route mind you lol....

Ian, I've told myself no more power tuning until something needs doing! Clutch etc...

 

I need to get the inside set up fully and sort rear end grip but I'm sure the syvecs will come soon after lol....the car drives so well no it's hard to want to change it tbh.

 

Would love syvecs traction control and some nice big flames/bangs on gear changes mind you lol...

Just been having a think of the action plan for the zed for 2013....

So far Im going for:

1, SuperPro full front bush kit, shot blast arms and paint + refit and align underway, nearly DONE!!

2, Fit my wheel on with a snap off boss kit

3, FINALY get a HUGE carbon GT wing, GOT IT!!

4, Replace driver seat with a fixed back bucket seat DONE

5, Rear camber arms to help get some power down and sort out the huge wheel spin

6, Get out and enjoy the car more in 2014!!!

Just thought id get my goals down on here to force me to do it

 

Finally got myself a nice seat for the beast

Ive fitted the seat with the bride super low max slider rails but it still sat to high for me as I'm quite tall Ended up going for an OMP motorsport mount and bolting direct to the floor so its lower but not movable now.

 

Fitted on the slider rails

Fitted the C west CF canards today :)

 

There very well made and fit is perfect! Stiff and strong so "may" have a chance of doing something useful as well as looking wicked! lol..

 

Bumper Off...

Little update,

 

The car has had a bit of knocking coming from the front end which could be felt when going slow/3 point turns/ lock to lock etc. As we all know 350z are a pain in the a** to get up in the air to work on I spent some time looking for a DIY garage where I can rent some lift time.

 

Lucky for me one has opened 2 miles from my house in the last 6 months! £20 an hour or £30 half day £55 full day with full tools (SnapOn/air tools/Auto break/clutch bleeders the lot!) and 2 post lift!

 

I rented the place for 1 hour to torque check the suspension.

One of the many jobs on the list is to do the back end bushes/arms and brace to that will be nice and painted and clean this winter!

IMG_20150609_153026_zpsjn6svblg.jpg

 

Scuffed the passenger side down pipe :(

IMG_20150609_153034_zpsrzldvhrg.jpg

 

Front sus still clean ish a year later!

IMG_20150609_155111_zpsyreccezi.jpg

 

Anyway enough waffle... lol.. I found that the front lower brace had worked 4 of its bolts lose! I have torqued these back up and the knocking is fixed !! wooooohoooo.
