You guys ever raced your Time Attack Z against similarly modded EVOs or STIs?

We race a bunch of Evos & STIs. Of course, being AWD, they are never in our class obviously. Here are a few of the faster ones that run the same races we do...

HG Motorsports Evo
Crawford STI
AMS Evo
Robispec Evo(s)
Evasive Evo

We are also starting on a Time Attack Evo. Its actually my newest daily driver and will be built most likely for Street AWD in 2008 and will most likely make its debut in the Redline Time Attack Finals at Laguna Seca. I will run that event in Modified AWD though because I will be busy driving the Z in the Street RWD class. The Z is retiring from Street class in 2008 though, so it will be replaced by the Evo.

I'm next state over and wouldn't mind.

I autocross and road course my car and would love to see how the braces that you have coming down the line would affect my ride.

We are just about done with our Version 2 Front Lower Tie Bar. This bar will work with the APS, Power Enterprise oil pans and the oil pans spacers from AAM and Jim Wolf (our current bars clear the GReddy Oil pan for those who may be wondering). We are working very hard to release our new line of products for the upcoming yer.

i find all the cool stuff on this site rather than on driver! can't wait 'till these are available for the USDM G35 coupe. i just installed the chassis brace, and what a difference that simple install made!

Yeah, the performance information is much better on 350z than on g35driver. Of course, if I want to know whether my G looks better with the sunroof cracked open, or totally closed, I have g35driver...

im saving up some extra dough to order pretty much the entire gtspec product line.

when i had my 98 civic, i had front and rear strut bars, and rear lower tie bar, and installed them all at different times and each and every one did amazing things. suspension before go-fast parts!

Yup, that's my master plan too for my G. I think I'll probably get the strut bar first. But I intend to get everything GTSPEC has available for the G35 coupe. I'm happy to see that GTSPEC is giving the G just as much of their attention as the Z. I'm looking forward to further info about the rear strut bar and trunk cage.

Right now, I'm doing Phase 1 of my project, which is some visual enhancements to set my diamond graphite G apart from all the others I see.

Phase 2 will be dedicated to suspension and brakes.

Then, Phase 3 will be the powertrain portion of my build project.
