Do I smell a track day with more then 1 Z in the works

 

Made a little more progress on the teardown. Got the passenger airbag out and pulled the airbag crash sensor. Started going to town with the spot weld cutter as well. Sorry about the crappy picture but it's the best my iPhone could do with the available light.

 

nice progress. great job with the build so far.

 

Got a lot of the speaker box out. I need to get in there with the spot weld cutter and get the rest out. I was shocked at how heavy that steel is. I also picked up a set of SPL front camber arms from Jeff aka 03Z33. The man is a wealth of knowledge and I feel lucky to have met him.

 

Play time

 

Those A arms were CHEAP! and Yeah Jeff is super knowledgeable about Zs!


cant wait! let me know when and ill sign up, any track in CA, SoCal, NorCal doesnt really matter to me

 

It won't be soon enough! I cannot wait I'll tell you that. I need to hurry my *** up removing the rest of that sheet metal so I can get the beast to the shop.

Yeah he hooked me up that's for sure. I've got all the SPL stuff for the rear suspension on its way to me, along with a set of Momentum Performance solid motor and trans mount. Converted my rear JIC monotubes to true coilovers too. I'll have a lot of progress to report after this weekend.

 

man your cars gonna be a lot to handle! what pads and tires do you plan on tracking on?

 

I'm not sure yet on the pads. I have a set of RPF1 18x10.5 with 285 RS3's all around. I'm also looking into ordering up another set of CCW's this time 17x11 with 315/35-17 Toyo R888 all around. Didn't want to let that info out till it happened but whatever, this thread isn't popular anyway.

 

Will 17" wheels clear your ST?

 

Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch right outside of Vegas has a trackday next month. Not north, south or central Cali, but close.

Still like a boss ! Good to see the beast still evolving. I picked up an Ark exhaust and Stillen gen 2 intakes with some other goodies brotha. Your car is still my inspiration keep up the good work!

 

Thanks everyone. Joe you need test pipes? Won't be running that ST 6/4 setup this time around.

 

Converted my rear JIC's to true coilovers. I have all the SPL rear arms on the way and I have the SPL fronts ready. I'm gonna get to work on getting the rest of the dash and speaker box out tomorrow.

Anyone with an HR remove their AC compressor yet?? I need to know what size belt I need.

 

Spring rates are 12k front and 8k rear. I'll be running a square tire setup with the Whiteline front bar and stock or no rear bar.

I need to get the SPL rear knuckle bushings and front inner and outer lower arm bushings ordered. I think I have pretty much everything else I need for the suspension. After that I will buy everything to build my differential, I'm going with the 4.08 gear set, nismo cover, and solid mounts but I'm undecided on what differential ill be running.

 

OS GIKEN would be my vote.

 

+1 , but I would probably go 3.9 in the rear.

 

Ill be going with the 4:08's, I'm already reving to 8k. It should be fine.
