Finishing the body work, made some space for the wheels and room for the coilovers because it was a very tight fit..... and in the process 8.3kg of metal is gone
I wanted to do more cutting on the rear fenders but the fiber glass extensions for the rear are just half on the rear wings and to make other parts it's just not time.....

 

This is fantastic. Every update is another, "oh he's going to THAT level".

 

Brand of those side skirts...looks sick!! very nice progress!!

 

Finally after some days of cutting, grinding, welding...loaded the chassi, the fiberglass parts and went to a man who works with composite parts because the parts don't fit 100% and it just doesn't work like this....I know is a race car but it has to be done right

 

I'm looking forward to the day we start to see more and more of the car instead of less and less

 

Hahaha yes good one !!!!

It's frustrating because this stage is time consuming but has to be done and finished with cutting,welding and grinding because after this the chassi goes straight to paint and if I miss something now.....I will f*** the paint....

 

This is good stuff! looking forward to more.

 

it seems the Z33 might be going the way of the E30/E36/E46. The activity may be quiet on this forum but there are lots of solo and team efforts out there doing this.

Will you be campaigning this car in a limited spec or an unlimited weight ratio spec? because with all the work going into this car, I can't imagine a VQ engine in it afterward. and with this amount of chassis mods, it probably won't be suitable as a spec racer. so, unlimited? then put whatever engine you want... like a 3.8 TT?

​​​​​

 

Yes unlimited but also I can go to endurance racing in GT and GTPro and also hillclimb has an unlimited class.
I have also plans for the future with this car and If I will swap the engine is going to be the VR30DDTT Is light and compact

 

I'm sure that makes more sense than a GTR engine. Z1 has a flywheel for doing a VR30 swap.

 

sick, that will be awesome

 

Body parts almost done next week should be finished and straight to paint

 

looking great

 

Small modifications needed to the doors but they fit

 

Pedal assembly just came Tilton 600 and some extras to make them work

 

More parts for the car came
Weldable Quick release
Aluminium seat mount because weight reduction
Seat belts 2'' to be able to use the Hans
Carbon helmet because saftey is a priority

Ofcours All FIA approved

 

The chassi is also finished ,some modifications were needed but now it fits
The guy was able to use the metal sheet from the roof to make a copy from fiberglass
Now that it is finished I send it to paint

 

oh, wow, I was curious about the roof. this car is going to weigh in at like 2700 lb!

not sure if anyone ask this already before but where did you get the fiberglass pieces? I'm interested in just the front fenders.

 

The target is around 2500 lb

The body parts are from Chris in Poland great guy !!! It's a replica from the Amuse 380RS .
This is his web site www.s-tuning.eu

 

After a long time.....I have a painted chassi to continue this project
