VRRacing Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Surprising how much weight there is in plastic. Standard seats much lighter than I'd thought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Did you weigh the sound deadening material? Pretty sure that would surprise you as I remember seeing one member who weighed a bag full of the stuff he had removed from his car & I'm sure it was a few Kg's itself.

VRRacing Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I shall see if we did. I wasn't there when the stuff was weighed. If it's still around shall get it weighed. Wandering if there's a demand for the random bits of trim we won't be using. Same goes for airbags, airbag ecu and seat belt pre tensioners.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There could be some interest in those bit's definitely. The rear Z strut bar cover (silver bit with "Z" emblem) could be used by someone wanting to get the part dipped (water transfer printed) and the airbags, pre-tensioners etc may be of interest to someone repairing a crashed 350Z. Once you've posted enough & been on here long enough you can advertise them for free on here but until then you could always try eBay.

VRRacing Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 That's actually one of the few bits of trim from the rear of the car we are planning on using. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRRacing Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Most of the dash out. Cable tied the roll cage in to roughly position. Might need to weld it in though. Also got the materials to have a crack at making a BGW:) found some nice looking suspension at Autosports show too.

GMballistic Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Some more good progress then. Like the OMP fire extinguisher system, ...looks a great bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRRacing Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah looks pretty sexy for a fire extinguisher system. Going to have a firewall bulkhead between the seats and the rear of the car. Plenty of space for nos tanks and such;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing so as I can see the OMP helmet bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
