Cool beans

 

You was on about linking me some drifting bids chief

Ah ok, well here's all my videos, past and present

JDM Garage for the 45mm spacers, they have all sizes up to 60mm i think!!

Yeh man the bonnet is spot on! Thanks very much bud!

Ive forgotten what links your on about?

Got my CD through from Ian at Blackett Photography.

Amazing pics, makes me look like I can actually drift!!

Been a busy chap on the car today...

45mm wheel spacers turned up;

Now have some decent stance

Done done a 'bumper tuck' im preparation for re-building my exhuast to lif it all up a bit;

Had to extend the standard mount 40mm to reach the rear can;

All done, the bumper tuck really gives the rear end a meaner look, im well happy. The exhaust now has about 5" of clearance from the ground now instead of 50mm

Had an awesome day, wish I had more footage but it's all about the seat time I guess!

Hopefully some more footage will pop up soon

Cats and shocks provisionally sold

Ok have taken these parts off the car and are really taking up room here so I need them gone! All have come from an '03 30,000 Mile/Km import. Car has been in the UK 1 year.

Standard Rear hatch (no glass), nice and clean, no dents or damage. In blade Silver. Will also chuck in rear wiper motor and wiper arm/blade - £50 Collected only, I will package up as best I can to protect it.

Complete front and rear, shocks and springs. No leaks, minor corrosion on top mounts can be cleaned up and painted easily. - £50 Collected, £75 Posted.

Exhaust mid pipe and rear box. No blows or damage, rear finishers could do with a polish up - £50 collected only.

Catalytic Convertors. Working fine, have been replaced with de-cats on my car - £50 collected or £75 posted.

All parts are located in Orpington, Kent. Just 5 minutes from Junction 4 on the M25.

I will sell as a job lot for £175 collected as I want this stuff gone! Compared to EBay prices this is silly cheap.

Thanks

Will

The heads dont need to come off to change the cams...

However, if you are wanting to raise/lower the compression ratio with the install the heads will need to come off. Also if you want to fit stiffer valve springs to compliment the cams the head will have to come off, or the cylinders pressurised to stop the valves dropping inside

I am interested in buying these cams following specs and pics of the lobes

What's the fit like on the carbon hatch?

Not great to be honest...

It's fine for me as it's a drift car but one side sits about 10mm too high so doesnt line up with the roof. The sides don't sit low enough so there is a rather large gap

Ok so no pics of the car sideways from me, but plenty will be coming soon

Had an awesome day at the pod, got on straight away with the car and was on the big track after lunch, eventually winning the DWYB Comp, and qualifying 2nd to be able to compete at the ODC Final at Mallory. So well happy!

Couple of pics my missus took from the day;

Did you get my PM on Friday about the TE37's?

I did sorry matey, theyre sold

Was gonna straighten out the exhaust a little today but decided it works fine, so will sort it another time as I have the missus down

Although sorted a few little things that really need doing for Pod on Wednesday.

Adjusted the handbrake, nice and toight now!

And there is a flaw in the CS2's for 350Z's.... You can't get to the rear dampening adjustment knobs because of the collosal rear strut bar.

So I drilled out some big ass holes and pushed on a length of garden hose over the knobs and out through the trim. This way I can adjust the stiffness without having to take the whole rear end apart.

Like so....

VIDEO!

This is with the bung fitted!

Ah ok, cheers Jord. I read otherwise but I'm not bothered as long as im in the 'cheap' tax band!

Ok so got some pics and video of the car. Im not too sure on the angle of the exhaust I might have gone too much with it. But I can change that if needs be.

Deffo think I'm gonna stick with the white wheels :nod:

Anyways, pics...

Midpipe made up;

Test fitted - lines up nice;

Tailpipe;

All done!

and fullside white wheels;

and black wheels;

I reckon white :nod:

Video coming shortly....

So made the exhaust today.

I was warned that the Japspeed K1 with de-cats is loud. It is stupidly loud now that Ive made it into a single exit system!! Having to use the bung. Will have to buy a silencer to weld into the midpipe!

Will get pics and video for tomorrow

Thanks gents!

Still not sure on wheel choice, Ive moved them so its black on one side of the car and white on the other

I'll be at Santa Pod on Wednesday giving the car a good shakedown, and will have plenty of pics of each side so will decide then!

Going to be making my Japspeed exhaust into a single exit today, hopefully it will turn out ok!

I will be getting lexan when I can afford it however I have run out of money for now!

Thanks for the kind words guys

Ok got rained off so might aswell update what ive done

All four archers rolled flat! But no pics of that, pretty boring anyways

Fitted the 25mm spacers all round and the Rota's. Soon as the paint turns up I will coat the fronts to match the rears.

Rears - These are esentially an 18x10 et.5 and they are still being swallowed by the arches :smash: Gonna order up some 40mm badboys I reckon!

Front are perfect for me, stick out about 15mm with the 25mm spacer so also 18x10 et.5 with the spacer

Sitting pretty just before the rain came

Not sure wether to go black or white with the wheels now?

Still to do;

Glass man coming tomorrow to swap the glass off the standard rear hatch

Make single exit exhaust, waiting for gas to turn up for welder

Looks like im going to weld up the standard diff so I can get to the Pod next wednesday as my diff and final drive from Japland wont arrive in time

Paint front wheels

Went and fitted the plenum spacer this morning. Real easy job and a quality bit of kit. This is aparently good for 15hp peak and plenty of under the curve power.

Upper plenum removed;

Lower Removed - Think I need ITB's

Spacer in placer;

and look what turned up whilst I was working

All done, no vaccum leaks but havent driven it yet,

went straight onto this;

Have booked in the glass man to come and swap the glass across from the standard hatch

Thats all folks!!

Finally fitted the de-cats this afternoon. Seems to have really free'd up some power, pulls nice and hard throughout the long gears now.

Not a great picture, but shows 1 cat and 1 decat fitted as a comparison

Next week the real sexy parts arrive - 2 way, 3.9 final drive, carbon rear hatch and plenum spacer - mmmmmmmmmmmm
