Did some bounce tests on the suspension and it seems to be fine! No binding whatsoever and a ton of travel with the softer spring rates of the G35 sedan. Up to this point I was running revised OE 350z springs and shocks.
2006 350z (revised):
314 Front / 427 Rear
2003 G35 Sedan (non-sport):
283 Front / 308 Rear
Should handle great in the dirt and gravel- We'll have to wait until April to see!

Removed the sideskirts to maximize ground clearance. I think it's funny when they rip off, but I'm trying to strip things down to just the essentials! Sealed up the huge gap at the bottom of the doors with some foam rubber to keep the dust and rocks out.
Also picked up some 7" HELLA 700FF lights from a good friend for HELLA cheap! I don't like LED bars and I feel that the round lights fit the vintage look of the car. Going to mount them on brackets attached to the crash beam and do a 55 watt HID conversion so they're HELLA bright! Puns for days.

Picked up some 12"x18" WRC grade urethane mudflaps from Susquehanna Motorsports, the go to shop in the rally community. Hardware provided by Home Depot Speed Shop. Brackets and reinforcements are riveted, going to trim and install the flaps this weekend!
Also found some sweet East African Safari Rally stickers on EBAY.uk
