Lol, just a -20 in the rear , if I measured correct lol

Might want to look into the 350z rear fender flares. They have a nice cutout for the fuel door .

 

Beautiful job.

 

Great job on the engine. But you flares just make me think of this guy.

 

^^^ He finally finished his car BTW

 

No back to the future camber on my car. Think of a RWB Porsche more then that lame *** celica.

 

Project is looking good man. Seems to be big builds happening on all the VQ forums. It's a shame the past owner was some drugged out ******* that didn't give a f___ about the car. Now, it's in good hands that can be passed down to your son.

Think about my g35 often and the projects I did with her. Keep the pics/videos coming.

 

I am the past owner if that makes sense. I bought this car stock lol. Just had an idiot work on it. Havent posted in a while............... but..............

My car got totaled at the shop it was at.


Heres the kicker, it has a damaged fender, headlight, cracked my hood, and broke the core support. Yet thats only about 2k max in car guys eyes, the insurance people said it was 8k. So I owed 6k on my car. They offered me 3.4k but, I have USAA. USAA offeres some protection to custom work done to your car. Since I have well over 25k in it, sent them my reciepts, and got back 8400 lol.

So I just bought some new Projector lights, Accuair management, UAS bags, Koyo Rad, just got my Haltech I bought before this crap. Its the best worst thing thats ever happend to me. DOMO

 

How did it get totaled at the shop.

 

How did that happen?

 

My car is at the schofield barracks auto hobby shop. Where soldiers are "authorized" to work on cars. Has a lift which is the most benefit. A guy changing his brakes had no clue what he was doing backed out and the brakes didn't work. He hit my car and the one beside me -_-

 

Havent posted an update in a while but after the little accident, I got everything fixed.

Red Box Haltech




Autometer Nexus gauges for OIL/Fuel and boost




Top Secret 350z diffuser







Stripped the front end down ready for the new parts








Dual Projector headlights with demon eyes





Accuair E level managment












Air is partially installed.








flares are mounted now








I should have it started, up and running by December, thats my goal.

Hard to do, when your the one doing all the work, only thing not done by me was motor assembly, and machine work other than that............... all me lol

 

Nice. How much longer before we see the dyno numbers? I can't wait

 

I'm not a FI guru (never had an FI car), however I have read here several times that there are plenty problems that must be sorted out if you go much above 500hp.

One of the biggest is head lift (as noted above) due to inadequate head bolts. The second and more obscure is cylinder vibrations at the contact surface of the head gasket. At very high HP, 700+, the cylinder walls start to vibrate back and forth and ruin the head gasket.


note the unsupported cylinder walls


This block is sleeved and had support for the upper cylinder walls.

Just something to think about.

While your at it, take a look at this 2000hp 3.5L VQ
