Default 52 degrees of steering angle coming to a slide near you! LS6 350Z

So we have been working on our 350Z with a LS6 swap for quite a while now.



Customer cars come before shop cars, so there you have it. We have a private drift event coming up this weekend and the following and we are scrambling to get the car done by then. Some of you may have been in the thread talking about the steering angle kits we are developing:



Well we will hopefully have the chance to test them in the next coming up 2 weeks and get to manufacturing.

Anyhow, we will be blogging on the progress every day this week leading up to the event: http://batlground.com/blog/?cat=14

Pics galore!!!!

This car is going to freaking rip! I can't wait for it to be done, mostly so I can have my own car again which will be Dan's old 240. He traded my 240 for this 350 shell, so we have been sharing while he builds the 340. Wish us luck!

If you want, get a hold of my shop and see if they can work it out for you. Dan is an awesome trouble shooter. We are a little far for you, but email batlground@gmail.com if you want to give it a shot.


Also added full progress of build up to OP: http://batlground.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=227

Appreciate the offer. I am in contact with a bunch of board members and Monster as well (Monster stage III clutch/flywheel). I am thinking I am gonna have to pull the whole thing to see wtf is going on, internally that is.

Again awesome project! Look forward to seeing it up and running.

Ya ya I've seen the LS1 and LS2... Have yet to see a LS6 or 7... I think I would enjoy that swap myself... Being a former GM guy.. (When I was young and didnt know up from down!)

So the LS6 swap might be unique???? Even better. I will have to look into that. LMK if you guys run across another. It's always cool to see other approaches.

More progress today: http://batlground.com/blog/?p=1012
