quoted for awesomeness

 

And ask Jerry at the shop about not running something to protect it.....I remember him picking up a rock that went through the turbo....well hit the turbo and destroyed it thats all. lol

 

to each his own, i wanted to have something original and more of a sleeper. not sure where you from, but in chicago, we have a ton of good looking 350 z's and g35 coupes.

 

Oh, totally! I wasn't implying running an open turbo without a screen, that would be ill advised for that specific reason.

Meh, anyways, this conversation is diverging from the original thread topic -- my apologies Lar & Chris. Keep up the good work fellas!

Got some Update pics for you guys... We have been busy putting the Interior back together. The motor should be back from Darton in a couple weeks! Then things start to get exciting!!!

 

So nice!! Do you guys have any pics of where you modified the dash to allow the front bars to go through?

 

Can't wait to see some videos or maybe when it's ready let me know and my buddy Tri and I will swing down there and check it out.

 

test fit our race cars wheels on the G

 

holy football helmet turbo batman!!!

Here's my problem with the build. Granted it looks entirely insane, and one of the cooler builds ever on a G35 or Z, but....

If this is going to be a track car, why put the interior back in? If you want a purpose built track car, then keep it purpose built, and get rid of the unneeded crap. The owner may want a "sleeper", but having the cage in the car makes it completely unstreetable because it makes the vehicle far too dangerous to be involved in crash in without a helmet. That's just my $.02, but I guess that's all it's worth lol. I can't wait to see the final results!

 

Very cool project, but I'm pretty sure anything with slicks and a cage can't be classified as a sleeper

 

Maybe if the cage was the same color as the interior? Otherwise I can't wait to see the results of this awsome build....

 

car is going to be tinted and believe me, you cannot see the cage. you have to get up close to notice it. as far as the slicks, the car will be on a different set of wheels/tires on the street. btw, this monster is going to see street action 2-3x/year but we are keeping all interior if we want to enter any shows.

can't wait to see her tonight chris.

exactly... he had little creativity(not surprised ) on how this can still can be a pretty bad "sleeper" setup on the street. THe th400 will be on the rough side, but plenty of supras and othe cars run them on the street (there is an acceptable level of compromise with confort for something that can hold mad power).

 

There is to much hating in this thread. I for one think its gonna be a BAMF.

 

No question about that, this thing will be nasty.

 

The whole Idea of this build is form and function. This is not a purpose built "race car" this is in fact going to be a driver as well. Look at our Track supra... That car had the stock interior... even had the stock radio! The Idea is to have as many ammonites that the car offered stock and still Get down at the track as well as on the street.

Anyone can gut a car, throw a racing seat in and call it a day... But with this car, the owner can run to the store and get some A-1 sauce for his steak! then go to the local track... Bolt on his Slicks and throw down a low 9 sec. time.

The 400 is not a bad as you think, I drove a supra with a TH400 about 250 miles round trip one day. at 72 MPH I was cruising at 3700 RPM. The car showed no signs of over heating in any way.

 

Just don't turn up the volume on the ole supra lol

 

Yeah i forgot to mention that our stock radio was modified so the Volume **** was the Boost controller Volume. The display on the radio was the Wide band display. It was pretty trick. We have some cool Ideas for Vlads G as well.

 

why don't you post this on www.g35driver.com

 

its there
