Nevermind.

 

Well I have no idea. I like to drive my car, and ride/race my motorcycle and let someone else do all the work to them I just don't have the time or patience to learn the mechanics of things.

That's why I asked, to get helpful information I know it's probably not your every day request, but I'm sure on a board full of gear heads some of you will have the knowledge to at least lend me information

 

Godspeed.

 

I mean, people do things with cars that were meant for other things all the time.

The Volkswagon Beetle was never meant to be an off-road vehicle and now I see more dun-buggies than normal bugs. TRUCKS! I see so many guys that have new 4-door trucks and try to lower them and put chips in them with exhaust and try to race me in my car and on my bike.... I mean, to me that is absolutely ridiculous and hilarious, but to each their own. If they asked for advice and I had no idea or nothing good to say, I would just not waste my time typing unlike some of you guys.

 

OP...you can have just about ANYTHING made these days. With that said use some thought. There aren't many (if any that I know of) that make parts for a "Rally/Off Road" capable Z.

You will need to have custom suspension parts made for the most part. Now these can be as simple as fabricated brackets to make a suspension from another vehicle work or as extravagant as custom arms, etc.

Skid plates are what they are...there are some made for on road use that will be functional for what you need but for off road you will most likely need more (mainly to protect the CF drivshaft is the BIG one I would think that would be "necessary")

Tires are 3rd and those are what they are it's just a matter of setting up the car for the sizes you need to get the appropriate tread design desired for your use.

 

Thanks a lot for the info. That's along the lines of what I was thinking. I hope that it would only take some type of brackets or small components to help a different model part fit on the Z. Skid plates, like you mentioned and tires... that's a start.

Thanks again.

 

There have been a lot of incredible threads in this section lately.

Can we make a hall of shame?

 

You can be a founding member for being so close minded and childish.

 

Well I found some Rally coilovers

And you too would be a first ballot hall of famer for being so insane about wanting to lift a 350Z.....and then continuing to argue about the validity of it.

 

Where in the world did I mention lifting it? I never said I wanted to put 35" tires on it. All of you guys must hate your life so much to be so bothered by the idea that someone wants to do something different with their car. I know very well that there are cars for this, like the STI or the EVO but I have a 350z so that's what I'm working with.

 

Yes, I'm admittedly very close minded to the idea of a 350z (as well as a list of other vehicles) being turned into an off road vehicle.

I'm also not a fan of FWD drift cars.

Or Hummer trailer queens.

 

This thread, and the one about who jumps their Z, are in a dead heat for "most ridiculous things you could do to/in a Z". But I'm too simple minded to decide which is in first place.

 

Fial. Of the worse kind.

 

It doesn't bother me. I feel the same way about you ricer boys.

 

I see what you did there.

My car is in a million pieces.

Just like rice

 

^^ i like rice! sticky rice, soy sauce, mmmmmmm

 

Did anyone notice that z doesnt have a single drop of mud, but the ladie some how seems to be stuck?? hmm something fishy and poor Z.

 

There are more............

 

^ That has to be by far the weirdest fetish I've seen to date...
