We'll catch up soon enough, Im sure - take you arent doing Knockhill?

same chassis/suspension layout, reduced suspension bracing under the car though - few frames missing, nothing a good cage wouldn't fix

looks like a good project, be interesting to get it past the steering column

Been doing a bit of research on the chassis, seems they have major problems with chassis flex, with windscreens cracking and suspension snapping!!!! So it looks like il be doing alot more chassis prep than i planned, seam welding and cage throgh the bulk head to turrets, ditching the idea of Nass car style door bars for the more ridged X type and also trying to find a steel rear subframe from another nissan with the same fit(cant remember the name Enos maybe??)in place of the alloy one.

Where did you get the chassis info? Infinity site? would be interested to know where the limitations/weak spots are, i know they run chassis braces in the US, but they do tend to go a bit OTT because they can, i thought that the chassis being essentially the same as the 350Z that they should be pretty good with little flex?

Must admit that i found the limits pretty quick, and i find the handling just not as good as a well set up Supra, been looking at knocking up some kind of stiffening for the chassis myself, but not sure where to start first, and I'm getting lazy in my old age

Oh! i see you're over on the 350GT forum, there is a guy there asking for some parts.

**docwra** · 13-09-2010, 13:29

Ahhh, in that case I was passed out after Ken forced me to drink 2 litres of JD and another litre of Makers Mark and also nearly got me arrested

Supercharged V8 engine shouldnt be overlooked either mate

The info i got was based on a 350z shell, from some one who has already delt with two high spec drift 350z's. I have heard the handling is a bit crap so chassis prep and development is a must.

Whos after parts? Name please lol

LOL, light weight!!

Oh it was not over looked but for the price of a charged v8 i could have an R35 gtr engine fitted

**Evilchap** · 13-09-2010, 13:43

I have an over-seas source who seemed to think he can get them at an amazing price, I know who has them in the UK too

If you want any extra-nobby turbos, give me a shout

subscribed, i really like these and given some more power and some footwork and it should be awesome.

**Tricky-Ricky** · 13-09-2010, 13:55

After some of the stories of a number of failed R35 engines, i would give them a miss, in favour of a supercharged LS1,2 or 3, should be somewhat cheaper to.

Got my mate to draw up my rollcage design tonight as i tryed it with pen and paper, it just wasnt working out lol

This is obv not to scale, is to purley to show the design so i can pass it to the guy making the cage. Obv there will be gusets down the A and B post, along with tying it in any where that is close to the body. The bar accross the floor will have a removable brace attached to the two spreader plates that will go under the gear box. Im not 100% sure i can run the front tubes exactly like this until i have the dash out and inspect the bulk head and turrets, it will also be a smaller diamiter tube and the main hoop a larger diamiter. Il most likely be adding in a few more tubes at the back to tie in to the rear subframe. Also the rear turrets will be getting extra plates as il be converting the rear suspension to coil spring over damper.

I thought you were gonna get a damaged one?

I suppose you'll get quite a few quid back by selling the bits you dont need though
