Hey guys. Got a few things for ya' on this. It's been slow because we've have a few hang ups.

Anyways, here's a couple pix of the dry carbon Ings+1 wing on the car. You can see the JSpec tail lights too.

Also, we're nearly done putting the engine back together.

The pictures of the wing will not get larger when I click on them. Things look to be moving right along!

jay666 10-07-2012 03:02 AM

Yeah, that always seems to happen when I post anything on here. I gave up on trying to figure out why. Sorry.

Funny, my pictures are too large generally. I too gave up and leave them small, but they click to become poster sized.

A little more progress!

GTM Turbo Manifold and one of the turbos getting clocked.

Wow I forgot all about this project it's been a long time without a update .

ZMan8 06-22-2013 02:02 PM

This car has been done for some time now, I think he forgot to put updates.

Mr&Mrs 06-22-2013 04:20 PM

If anyone knows how to get ahold of him tell him to check in with us. I was so blown away by this build.

Yeah, this is me. You can put that on me for not giving a final update. We had such a huge delay because of my pistons taking 4.5 months to arrive (instead of the 3 to 4 weeks they stated) that by the time we got her running, broken in and dyno'd, putting an update was the last thing on mind. I was just happy to have my car back lol.

Long story short, we tuned her to about 600 WHP (598) to be exact), but she had plenty more to give. We didn't want to push her any more because at that point we realized GTM had sent us the wrong size waste gate springs and she wasn't opening up properly at that point. So we stopped at 598 @ 13 PSI.

600 HP is also more than enough for me. She's an absolute scary beast to drive. But we do want to get the proper springs on there and just see what we can get for the fun of it.

I toon her to the track at Autobahn Country Club a couple weeks ago and she was an absolute blast. It was my first time at the track and up until then I had only driven her for a total of a few hours since she was tuned properly. So, I was a little hesitant and pretty terrified of her power. I also hired Dan Clark a professional race car driver (most well known for winning some Porshe events, but he has also raced Formula 3, Formula 2 and NASCAR) as a tutor, for which at one point I let Dan drive my car on the track while I sat shotgun.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to let a professional show you what your 600 HP car is capable of on the track. It was unreal, scary as all god damn hell, and incredibly fun. His comments on my car were "this car is no joke".

I have a few photos since she was completed Ill try to post as well.

Need more pics.:tiphat:

jay666 06-23-2013 09:51 AM

BTW, when I say "they" I do not mean Project X when I talk about the delay on my car. PX had no fault in this huge delay. We waited nearly half a year for my Arias custom pistons LOL.

jay666 06-23-2013 10:33 AM

Here's a link to a quick vid of me taking a corner at the track a couple weeks ago. http://http://projectxcustoms.com/wp...603_120835.mp4

We put my stock wheels back on and raised the right height a bit for the track.

Baer383 06-23-2013 10:41 AM

Link doesn't work.:shakes head:

jay666 06-23-2013 10:43 AM

Yeah I see that.

jay666 06-23-2013 10:54 AM

Try this. Here is the main page for Project X. If you scroll down you'll see pix of us at the track. A few down and you'll see my car, one of which also has a link for a short vid as well.

Thanks for replying glad to see everything is finished up. Love the build hope to hear from you every once in a while.

Baer383 06-23-2013 01:21 PM

I want to see a shot of that engine compartment.:tup:

jay666 06-24-2013 09:48 AM

I had a photo shoot that is getting some press soon. As soon as I'm allowed to use said photos, I will put them up for sure.

Any real pics of the wing? Thumb nails are small and blury.

Thanks.

The kognition wing you can stand on the wing in the middle, does this wing seem strong enough or kinda flimsy in the middle or hollow feeling? Also whats the width of it and it doesn't look like its as tall or taller than the roof line. Is that true or the pics playing with my eyes?

Super Werty 12-21-2013 07:27 PM

Sweet build! When are you gonna pull off the gtm TT and go FI TT? hehe

Mr&Mrs 12-22-2013 12:05 PM

Beautiful!

Ings+1 makes track proven wings. They are very well known in the Japanese racing scene. While not as sturdy as a Kognition wing, its still far more than tough enough for any track conditions you'll throw at it in a 370Z. This one is also dry carbon. The craftsmanship is top notch, and this wing weighs next to nothing.

As for the wing height, being that this is a 3d wing, and not a straight wing like the Kognition wings, its better suited for being under the roof line, and thus the stands are appropriately sized for the wing design and the car.

I had no idea there was a shop in Chicagoland this capbable of a build like this. Looks incredible man!

See that still worries me. Mike snapped a APR GTC 300 at 150mph. Sturdy is better. Over time these might get stress cracks then fail.
