Thank you Sir :tiphat:

Cool :tup: love to see fellow drifters. I think your #1 priority should be finding an LSD though. Open diff sliding is laaaaaaaame :roflpuke2:

Had an hour or so to work on the Z tonight before I go ride the fixed gear and get some TACOS!! Figured I'd take a picture of the green power wire to the yaw sensor everyone always ask about. Waiting for switch to come in and I'll splice it and wire the switch in :tup:

Welded base diff, SPC solid subframe mounts and diff mounts all waiting to be installed. Also stiffening up the rear coils and probably gonna order a sway bar this week. :tup: ....If I stop being lazy and actually get working on this thing. lol.

Since you are dropping the rear subframe anyway to install the subframe bushings, it is going to be easier to put the diff bushing in as well. Also if you have a deep freezer or your regular freezer can go really low temp put the bushings in their for atleast a week. Because they are a PITA to put in our steel subframe.

Yeah, read that on someone elses build on here. Never would of thought about it till they said that! Thanks for the info though, must appreciated :tup:

Well it was a busy week, last week / weekend. Still managed to chip away at the long Z list. Hydro came in. Started mocking that up.

Ran into a small clearance issue with the boot bracket. Had to shave that down.

A lot more to come with this. Ordering some more things I need for it today. Should be a very clean install when it's all done.. :tup:

Next I moved on to the front of the car. I'm trying to get it completely wrapped up so I can move to the back. Went to remove the bump stop brackets and add the tire rod spacer. Removed the cotter pin and outer tie rod off.

Here's the inner tie rod after moving the boot down.

I then removed it and the outer to get them on the bench and add the spacer. Turns out 350z tie rods are a different size.. Who would of guessed. :icon14: So I called my buddy and he started making me a new one as well as a smaller spacer for the drivers side. I'll be going to pick those up tonight.

After that I decided to start working on the bump stops. Took them over to my fathers so I could grind down the brackets. Got a little crazy with the grinder on one of the brackets so welded it up and smoothed it out. Then sand blasted them down and got some paint on them. (Not the best welder. Don't judge it :icon17: )

After I was done doing the brackets, my paint guy called me and told me the spoiler was ready for pick up! Here are a few before photos when he was prepping it. It had a low spot he had to knock out. Also (Which I didn't notice.. and it kind sucked ) it had a crack in it. So after gluing and some bondo. He primed and painted it. Came out awesome! I then went home and mounted it.

Also, while I was mounting it. I decided to take the extra weight off the trunk since there was no point in having it.

That's about it. A lot more coming this week. Sorry to make these post so short. Never enough time in the day!

Loving the new spoiler. How much was to prep and painted? Trying to see whether it's worth it get it in frp and paint match it, or I just go for the cf instead.

Org. it was quoted around $150. But I was still waiting for it to come in. (2 month wait) So he had no real way of telling how much prep work he would have in it. After seeing the low spot (Low enough it would of held about 1/8" of water) and the crack. Fixing those, primer and paint. It cost me $275. A lot more money than I wanted to spend but labor isn't free as we all know. Hope this helps :tiphat:

Thanks bro. It sure makes my decision easier. CF all the way! :rofl2:

No huge updates tonight. Raining and crappy out. I did put the Z1 shift nob on tonight to see what it looks like. It was originally anodized black. Took it over, sand blasted it, and dropped it off to get painted when I got the spoiler painted. Came out :tup:

In for tire destruction.. What's the deal with the yaw sensor? Why does that have to come out?

This should help explain everything.

Long story short.. Drift car man! :tup:

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Been super busy. Long story short, still waiting for some parts to come in but in the mean time, I couldn't stand not driving the Z. So I tossed everything together and got it on the road. Here are few updates on what the car looks like as of now. Still some adjusting to do. Rears gonna come down slightly and gonna run some less camber. Also need to roll the front fenders cause i'm rubbing like crazy.

First day out of the garage and for a wash. Also the Zs big sister in the background checking things out.
