HSD's and miester R are under 800 and incredibly good makes. or you could be cheap and cut a coil off the back springs lol but handling could go to crap and it will be

It's a sucker and does anything, so chilled out. Just watch the vid above and see it playing fetch

THIS IS SPARTA she's half ferrel and a little madam that only likes me lol watches tv with me used to take her to work now and again and this is Emo who is a lil over 5kg's ( 1 yr old ) not fat just massive. More my fiances cat as its a wuss and cries all the time, hence the name. Still its pretty well trained at playing fetch and doing back flips Loves drinking MD and watching tv to

i hate glitchers. It just ruins the game for everyone playing them.

I don't tend to shift lock to much unless it's not my car lol. Best way to drifting your own way, people can tell you what the best way is til they blue in the face but at the end of the day it's all down to practice and which method you feel comfortable. Yeah not to many purely down to costs of cars and parts. Drifters are usually poor pikey like people lol I'm lucky as my 350 cot me less than a stock s14

Welded diff has absolutely no effect on day onday driving apart from skipping and tyres making a noise on tight turns. Once it's above 5mph you wouldn't know It had one in. I've have 60 odd cars and about 45 of them have been red and I can say at least 40 of them have had welded diffs and I usually do 25-30k a year everything from 80's pick up trucks, mx5's, mr2's to 5 series bmws and supra's Stock drive train is pretty solid tbh on these apart from clicking drive shafts which aren't really an issue. Mine are clicking but I only replace stuff when it's broken and not working lol. Iirc the boxes are good for about 400 lbs torque but early models have syncro issues. Stock handbrake seems to lock up well but then I have brembo's on mine and it's locked up at 80 with just man size tug Clutch wise gonna stick with the stock one and upgrade when it's burnt out. Should hold fine as I'm not gonna be goin for any more power at the moment. I tend to be very mechanically sympathetic and I'm a big fan of massive scandi flick entries. Was famous for them at one Stage in bdc lol. Managed to have a guy scramble to get out my skyline at llandow after one lap even thou he paid for 3 as he said he heart couldn't cope With the flick entries i was doing. Surfice to say my ego was MAAAAHIOOOSIVE that day lol

back up .... anyone ???

tbo mate 90% of people starting drifting usually modify there cars completely wrong. 350's are great handling drifters out the box and , with any rwd car, it will drift no matter what power it has aslong as its got a diff that locks properly. Stock LSD's are ok in the wet but usually worn out and too unpredictable most of the time, Getting a diff welded costs 30-40 quid and thats it and will and i would do that if you cant afford a peoper 1.5 or 2 way diff. Depending on budget all you need, and in this order is: locking diff ( welded or 2 way ) suspension be it lowering springs to stiffen it up or coilovers decent seat to keep you in place practise practise practise practise oh and a @*!# load of tyres lol thats its. im going more drift look than balls out drifting car. Definately be using and thoroughly abusing the living crap out of this at mallory park and lydden hill but im keeping the full interior, sound system and all the other luxuries apart from the ones i dont need or like. Ive had the fully stripped out cars and tbh its just too uncomfortable to drive, even on track lol.

rarerims offer 350z forum discounts and do tyres. Other than them i always use camskill

cheers mate. I have a feeling im gonna dissappoint alot of the more " purer " 350z owners with this build thanks to using ALOT of unbranded/knock off/ebay stuff including shell own brand anti freeze, mobil 1 10w 40 oil, cheap unbranded tyres, welded diff, fake bride interior, hard wired fans, no A/c , no ABS, No TCS, stretched tyres and so low i wont be able to get ANYWHERE but to hell with it as long as it looks gangsta LOL

thats it for now. Next mod will be in a few weeks time in the form of Jerrick ( i love this guy ) sending me the latest versino of the MiesterR zeta R coilovers which convert the rears to convention spring mounted on the shock so i can go very low . More on that when i can find the money to pay for them Then i shall be getting the wonderful guys at LittleKnocks in wokingham to smooth off the front bumper, wings and rear bumper and give it a full respray in the brightest white i can find. I have been using LK for many many years and they have again helped me out hugely whilst i was drifting. No job was ever to big or small for them. Every monday after a drifting round i would turn up with the bodykit stashed in the glove box/ashtray in 1000's pieces and they would swear for 8 hours, tell me i need to learn how to drive and stop showing off and then get on with piecing the puzzle back together and repainting it. Theyve sprayed 4 of my last cars, repair 100's of bumpers and done countless other work for my family and friends. They are incredible value for money and are avid petrol heads with a car list as long as mine. tom the owner used to have a 350 and at the moment has done a ground up restoration on a very late model mk1 gti that honestly is cleaner than VW factory could ever have made it. Again pics of this when it happens thanks it folks welded diff soon too !!!?!?!?!? yay for me

So with the temp issues fixed then next port of call is to get it looking better. I only had to speak to one person to sort out some wheels. Ben at Rarerims has been helping me out for years while i was in Team Green competing in BDC and with there new Grid Drifts coming in i bugged the living @*!# out of him for the last month and finally they were released yesterday and on sale. Ben: 10.5x19 et20 all round ??? me : why yes sir, that will do nicely in black please and thank you Ordered, paid, awaiting delivery and they will be wrapped in 245/35/19 Avon ZZ3's. I fecking love this tyre. amazing value, incredible grip and they look pretty sexah to. Used them on the front of my skid cars for the last 2-3 yrs

Right before i start i must warn you im a drifter at heart and i tend to do "drifter" mods on everything i own. That means i use the more " cost effective " way of modifying With that in mind if ya dont like it then please feel free to post all comments and critism but just remember its my car and i WILL do it my way and if you ask my wife she will tell you that im aLWAYS right Right so the story starts as i got my 350 by swapping it with my incredibly clean AE86 with a **** from scotland. What he failed to tell me, after i asked him specifically, is that the fans werent working, thermostat didnt work and subsiquently on my way home from liverpool it overheated on the side of the M25 10 miles away from home so with that i got straight on the phone to my good friend Leon at EPracing and ordered one of there Alloy rads with twin 13" leccy fans. Its totally unbranded and thats fine with me as its a sealed metal object that allows water to flow around it and get cooled. Cant see why a name shoudl add 100's on top. sorry i didint take loads of pictures but i couldnt stop laughing at the pathetic radiator nissan used in the first place, its an absolute joke. Anyway once i got the rad and fans from EPR i needed to get them fitted so with very few people i trust working on my cars it was easy to pick someone. Straight down to F1 Moto near brandshatch to get Nev Payne on the case. the man built my R324 drift car and thanks to his backround of building customr bikes where everything is on show he is annoyingly anal when it comes to things being meticulously neat and perfectly placed. He may not be the cheapest around but when you see his wiring work and machining skills you knwo why out with the old in with then New rad and fans Minty ( nev ) hard at working trying to working out wiring in the new fans to the old stock wiring, after a few hours we gave up and just ran them on a manual switch Then the fun started after tryign to bleed the system using every method we could think of ( about 18 times ) we were still getting air locks and only hot air when under load and cold air on idle. With time running out and realising the thermostat was screwed i didnt have time to get a replacement and thanks to the one way screws that nissan use so you cant just replace the thermo so i went all match.com and introduced my thernostat to mr A grinder , nice chap with GSOH and very clean cut ahhh a match made in heaven so with the dreaded task of bleeding i found an old thread on Driftworks written by a very angry ginger dwarf from liverpool with owrked a treat all sorted no over heating, infact i can sit in traffic for 30-45 mins after driving for a hour and the temp barely gets over half way without the fans on. The rad is at least 5 times thicker than the stock one and iirc holds about 8 litres of water meaning plenty nice cool water to keep temps down and if it gets warm i either turn the heating on for a few mins or flick the fans on and watch the temp drop. Same system i have had on all my skid cars and it works perfectly and the whole set up costs less than one second hand fan motor Only mod i had to do was trim the edge off the stock air box but now it sounds beefy lol

also try ebay as there are alot of traders selling off older stock on there. I recently bought 4 x 245/35/19 avon ZZ3's for 220 delivered ( camskil price is 120 each )

Glad it's sorted Yeah " minty " is still alive and kicking and still building phernominal bikes and cars. And still very much full of happy and pies

Lol 400 quid for two tyres !!!!!! Try camskill they do tyres of every brand make and model for cheaper than most Places The different tyres could very well contribute to wearing your diff out. I used a pair of Tyres in my s13 one was 225/40 and the other was 225/45 and it destroyed my diff with in 1000 miles Still jacking it up and grabbing the wheels and turing back and forth will be the best way to Check the bearings

just jack the car up, grad the wheel at the top and the bottom and rock it back and forth and if it moves its a wheel bearing. I found that a bit more accurate than move side to side as the noise wouldnt change no how soft/violently i moved the car from side to side Could be a worn diff but then i found all my diffs would make mofe of a re-verbirating metallic noise before going bang could be the road/tyre contatc noise as i found most tyres make a different noise, could be under inflated tyres to

Hey Taner i just stuck aftermarket fans on my Z as the oem ones failed. After searching for ways to do it i ended up just running a manual switch as it was easier and less complicated to do. Nev and F1 Moto was doing mine and even he couldnt get his head around it and was to long winded for him to bother. He's a genius with wiring so i took his word for it . The only other way round it i foudn was to get a thermostatic fan controller from someone like rally design and sick that in the top hose and have that wired into the Aftermarket fans. Ran that sort of system in my 32 drift car and worked fine for 2 years http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_in ... ts_id=3449

10.5 et20 all round ? would i like to order ? why yes sir that will do nicely bring on the hammer and bat to make them fit

I may as well considering it acts like a dirty 19yr old slut at oceania lol

The over flow is jut clipped in iirc, I just took mine out and emptied it What i did was just filled it up with water and as I was bleeding it i used the antifreeze that way I dint waste to much as it over flowed on to the floor I just bought some antifreeze from he'll garage, can't see how different it is as it all does the same thing !?!? But then I'm a drifter who was born in Africa, I skimp on everything lol

Forgot to say I took the screw out completely when engine was cold and kept putting water/coolant in until it came out the valve bubble free then put it back in and did the above

Follow the link on driftworks and it will work. Basically you'll see water come out along with pockets of air and then just keep and eye on it until the water comes out with no bubbles, do it up keep the engine on and water topped up and every now and again very very carefully undo the bleed valve to see if any air comes Out Oriya just water then happy days

brooksie is amazing at making the ugliest thing look good. I was in the bdc for a couple seasons with him following it and tbh i would look forward to his vids after each event more than the next event coming up. Truely naturally talented guy and sexy ta boot too lol

i used rain x on my old track car as the wipers were on a one speed VERY fast and usually after about 10 mins constant use would throw the blade off rain x works well but as mentioned you need to be up to a lil bit of speed. I found it would smear pretty bad when using the wipers
