I'm aiming for half the weight of a 350Z so about 950kg defo want it under a ton. 😉

Not a fan of forced induction mate.

When did 350z weight 1900KG ?!?!? lol... Mine is 1455kg haha

 

 

Did some research

Nissan 1634kg

Escort. 767kg

That's a difference of 867kg

 

Think my 900kg target is looking pretty good now. 😘

Curb weight for the 350z depends on the variants/trim and ranges from 1446-1634kg

 

If I remember correctly

 

The US had 4 variants/trims:

Base

Enthusiast

Touring

Track

 

While uk/Europe had

Base or

GT

 

The JDM had similar variants/trim to the US.

 

The GT/touring weighed the heaviest at 1634kg.

My stripped GT4 at 1380kg with under 1/4tank fuel seemed not bad LOL.

900kg will be fun and it's going to fly TrigðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Nothing on the car tonight but I've been soaking the engine in cleaning fluid this week so I dragged it into work and steamed it off. Came up pretty clean. 😋

Busy weekend.

All filler done primed and flatted back.

All of the bare steel sanded and etched primed.

And all the dust dirt cleaned out of the garage.

Just need to start sheeting the garage out make a paint tent ready for a blow over.

Went out yesterday and spent the last of my pay on all the paint. 😢

Looking good.Will you paint it in sections or all as one? Just priming mine, I've found that without any extraction or filtration large areas are a real pain. Also how will you go on with the two pack paint, I was worried about the isocyanates. I'm only asking as I am thinking about doing the underside of mine before it goes to the body shop to avoid the need for them to transfer it from the rotisserie to the shell dolly.

Once again super job you are doing. If you ever plan on going as far as Buxton raceway let me know, I'd love to have a look. Keep up the great work.

Hi mate the car is being done in section just cuz it would take to long to do in one and the panels ain't ready anyway.

I will be waring a air fead spray mask and I have a large fan at one end of the garage sucking out most of the over paint. 😉

 

Primer

Back end and under side first.

No show car but it ain't too bad.
