keep it going... I didn't notice if you posted or not... but from the pictures I'll suggest you to put AT LEAST the nismo diff cover, the SPL solid diff bushings, and a catch can for the differential fluid... with your power and possible traction is going to boil pretty quick and you don't want to spray the differential fluid on the turbo.

good choice the KW clubsport... the V3 were just "not enough" for your car setup... probably jrz or moton if you want to stay with SPL (suggested) would be even a better choice for competition use.

 

I'd probably lean more towards a dedicated diff cooler set-up myself. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

We looked into a diff cooler but havent purchased one yet for fear of fitment issues witht the remote mount turbo. Also with the Computech Datamaxx Data Acquisition system we will be constantly monitoring the temp.

 

Just updated the first post with the final build list or at least the most recent one and gives some more details, enjoy. Oh and be on the lookout for pics tomorrow!

 

New wheels finally came in from Japan!

Introducing Volk TE37 SL Super Light Carbon Pressed Wheels

These things are light at as ****!!!

 

what are the weights?

 

dunno i havent weighed them yet. There was some specs i saw somewhere online, just takes some googling

 

So I've seen the car at the SOHO shop here in Charlotte, the **** they are doing is awesome. I can't wait to see it completed and lapping..... maybe we'll have to hit Zmax and line them up as well

 

what TT class is it being built for?

We'll be a RA in march with our TTB car.

 

Depending on weight and hp of course but i think Nik said TTU, i could be wrong though. We prob wont be at that event unfortunately.

 

Setrab Oil Cooler -


Computech DataMaxx and RaceAir -

 

Well I played around with a few different options and anyone on facebook saw the progress haha but here is what I think will end up being the final result. I tried tons of different versions using existing schemes from car and eventually ending up on this. I know its nothing crazy but this vinyl set wont be on there very long probably and we wanted to keep the car black with as little vinyl as possible. Here it is -

 

The racing livery looks alright.

Where did you get the Setrab oil cooler and how much was it.

 

Give Assaultech Performance a call at 205 588 0960 and ask for Dan, tell him I sent you and he should hook you up

Any reason why you chose the G35 over the Z?

 

I would like to know as well. No knocking, just curious is all.

 

Looks like the APR wing needs to be moved up 6 inches for better air. Run it as high as possible (basically even with the roof.

 

I chose the G35 honestly because thats what I had purchased after my Subaru and I had raced the G a lot autoxing and was succesful and the mods slowly came and it just made sense. I think the car is beautiful, and it may be a bit of a pig but there arent too many G's like this out there, its not unheard of obviously but its still unique in my opinion. But to answer shortly, I bought a G35 as a DD in 2007 and now its what you see above haha


terra- We will be making new mounts for the spoiler in the near future for sure, its currently as high as the supplied bracket will allow and angled as much as possible (this thing is unviersal and the supplied brackets need to be recreated)

Btw here is an extra pic of the spoiler and how close it is-

 

+1 That spoiler is not getting any clean air, rendering it useless. Plus APR doesn't have 6" risers, they have 3" risers. For time attack, I would have gone with a different spoiler but that's just me.
