350ZR.....update
Well we just returned from testing. Things are going to get very interesting. We learned a lot about what we need to change. We learned some of the cars strong points and some of its weaknesses.
Ladies and gentleman...........we have the strong potential for a Serious *** kicker!!!!

Nice!!! Congrats man...glad you have the car up and running well. I have a couple questions...
1. Are you getting any support from nissan in your development endeavor? Since they are planning to return to racing, I would assume there would be plenty of mutually beneficial info exchange. You winning makes them look good...
2. Can you give us any specific parts you are using at this time, and how they work?
3. When are you going to invite me out to drive it?
4. Forgot...are those forgeline wheels?
Anyway, I'm glad someone's doing this. We really need some good development of this car. After doing only 2 autoX's with the car and seeing how it stacks up vs. others, I keep thinking to myself...damn, what an awesome platform this is...lot's of potential.

track= daytona
Yes we have the whole Nismo kit. We received it just as the rig was leaving. We opened the boxes up to check the parts out and then put them in the rig.
We have talked with NMNA. At the present time there is no direct relationship........
We are developing OUR car for racing and competition purposes.
We tested the car in stock aero trim and then put on the rear spoiler becasue it was the easiest to put on.
We are out to win races and win a championship.
In the future the parts that WE develope for the Z will be available to the public.
Our first goal is to win races and a champioship.
In racing somethings are just best kept secret wiithin the team.
yes they are Forgeline Wheels
like I said ....all in time

I am not familiar with forgeline wheels, but those lookin pretty heavy. What is their composition? Weight? I would thought you would have gone with some Volks, BBS, or some other wheel you see more often in motorsports. Then again this is merely through my limited expierence.
BTW The car looks great. I can't wait to see the rest of the kit.

Forgeline= forged aluminum.........
custom offset 17's to fit over Brembo's to our specs
they are light.......They have been envolved in motorsports for awhile.......
We wont run a heavy wheel..............
And no those arent chrome........they are polished.

yes that is one side of the exhaust.
The helmet is a Bieffe...........painted by seven1design
The Nismo is a 1 piece front end......We are actually going to fit it on today and then go get everything painted. It looks much beter in person. I think it will also look better painted one color vs making the lip "stand" out like they do in the pictures with the two tone.
