370Z Drift Project + angle + stability + control

URA · 03-30-2014, 09:25 AM

I have used the NISMO LSD PRO in 1.5 way and 2 way configuration and I have chosen to weld the DIFF because it feels the best and gives the rear end lots of extra floating off throttle.

I have also used ACT 6 spuck sprung and clutch master flywheel (steel) so you can resurface it and won't warp so easily with clutch kicks. + Z speed CSC is a huge improvement over the factory unit. http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...08173.63.15.79

I also installed some ebay test pipes from beluga racing for sound mainly...they work great, fitment was perfect.

I changed all the fluids in the car.
Trans oil, diff oil, engine oil (10W-40 amsoil racing), power steering oil (this helped my car a lot).

Electronics don't help this car drift so the YAW sensor needs to be killed off or put on a switch.

The GREEN wire in the harness is the power to the YAW sensor.

The Oil Temp from drifting or any spirited activity goes mental in the 370z so Z1 makes an awesome kit to keep the oil temps in control.

I ran the lines a bit different from the instructions

Chris Forsberg was super kind with advice and sold me his DG5 coilovers (front spring 12 kg/mm & rear spring 10 kg/mm) from his Z (His race car does not use this spring rate). With it came advised alignments specs of 1/8" out front and 1/8" in the rear.

Helped with Alignment, corner balance, test drives, feedback on shock setup, and some fab work.

Added some Project Mu hand brake pads (aka d1 pads) Huge thanks to conceptzperformance.com for helping me source most of my parts.

Swaybars are super beefy and help a lot in the dry

Miro made a bracket to hold the fire extinguisher

Really strong and excellent build quality

I also asked him to make a hand brake extension that could retain the use of the parking brake function.

With a Drift Knob its perfect.

In this video you can see how easy the car is to slide around.
