[quadracer111]

Wow, just wow.

Are you staying N/A? Or are you going all out and boosting it?

Just crazy man, I wish I had skills like you and the budget to build something this insane.

Update time!

Tomei 2way Diff


Putting the ring gear on


Clean the pumpkin with solvent


Unfortunately, the pinion spacer is messed up and it seized the bearings when I tighten the pinion.


So I went home and finish off my front suspension assembly.
SPL tie rod ends
Tein Z33 tie rods
New sway bar linkage
New steering rack boot


Finally have the new wheel bearings pressed in and painted my drift knuckle.


I have everything installl


Oh wait...the studs from the SPL tie rods doesn't fit my knuckle!!!
Great..I thought they are the same as z32 but I guess not, so SPL told me they will send me a pair of S13 one.


Rear is the same..I have the sway bar bolted on with new linkage


Car is still on jack stand..alignment is super out of wack that I can't even install my front sway bar.


Test fit my wheels..



Unfortunately I haven't received my spacers from PBM yet to clear my brakes..so I can't put them on yet. I am still waiting for my tires for the TE as well..

[RWD_GTR]

who needs rims with brakes that big? shouldve mounted tires on the brake disc.

[leeaspin]

dreaming of those wheels

[bellis_GTR]

I love those rims! and OMG too those huge brakes.

[C-unit]

lazy..

some update:
Now..Time to move on to the power plant:

I got this VQ335HR off a 2007 350z
Reason why I went with the VQ
- more displacement
- lighter
- 6psd
- better weight distrution
- more reliable
- smoother power band

I am sure alot of the guys will argue about vq vs rb26 but I think nissan did a wise judgement on moving onto a v6 from an I-6.




Stock header is pretty nice but doesn't cut it for me, better one will come soon!


cover removed


covered re-installed, painted!!


Still gotta put the dual manifold back on


Not so much attention to details..lol

Also
New wheels time!
Thanks iLL Garage

^ I know...I guess it is impossible to find a decent cf trunk. I wonder if they make the mold out of a warped trunk!??

[NismoS-tune]

The quality of the CF trunk looks as bad as Seibon When they actually give you the product you pay for that is.

[C-unit]

^ thanks for the advice.

I did it because of the weight..the CF trunk weights less than half of the OEM one even without the spoiler. The trunk will get painted though....dislike cf pattern..

[DJ]

remove the stock spring assembly and it will fit right thanks to hozer !

[NerdJuice]

and is there a particular reason you went with a CF trunk?
because i don't know of anyone with a CF trunk on there skyline thats fits properly, and i'm pretty sure its not even lighter

Well mine doesn't fit properly, it is much ligher.

[frankiman]

i love the look of the roll cage, nice color
