sr powered (probably) 350z drift car...

[skinz180189]

Loads of seem to have ditched OEM slam panels etc and welded in nice sturdy pieces of tube and such like up front. To protect I/Cs & Rads in a smash.

[Matt]

loads!!other 350's?

if im honest im not sure till i rip it apart,mite make custom slam or mite just wait till i crash it and then make one

[skinz180189]

I'm talking other drift cars, not other 350s

Its a good conversion, for sure, certainly seems to be stronger than an RB

I just dont understand why people feel they have to get an RB/JZ/LS thrown in, in some cases before theyve even driven or bought a car. Id love a 6 cylinder 200SX, and fair play to you for doing it, but personally I couldnt justify the time and expense particularly when youve already got a perfectly good SR sat up front

Half the fun is building

And they sound nice

*I'd go for a 1JZ in this, and a gearbox conversion, not a rape R154 etc...

ye maybe fork lift


i think its a g35 infinity skyline thing like what he's building but im probably wrong??

[Matt]

so eventually at midnight the 350 turned up at the garage, couldnt be arsed to play with it last night so went straight home.

just had an hour on it and im fairly happy, no rust compared to 200's, whipped the o/s/f wing off and theres no damage what so ever underneath it. also took the roof lining out and bashed the roof with my hand abit more.

if i hadnt of lost my phone on friday id stick some more pictures up

plan is to do some paying work then crack on stripping it this week, there looks to be soooo much un needed weight bolted on everywhere, ecu's, looms, shit braces, etc etc it'l be goodbye to that lot!

[Magicmat]

Nice one fella

Maybe do it between xmas and new years? cant see anyone being busy then?

Shit about the phone

[-Marc-]

I bet you could loose a shit load of weight from it tbh.

Looking forward to seeing this progress though dude

[Matt]

going to do a late night either tonight or tomorrow, also aslong as i can get hold of a van im going to pick the rollcage up tomorrow

[Matt]

one more update....

I HATE SOUND DEADENING!!!!

[Damo]

should be easy to take out with a hammer this time of year.... was on mine but still a bitch to do

[Matt]

theres loads more on them than the 200's, and its stuck on properly so you very rarely get them nice big chunks off.

[Damo]

gutted

[strac88]

Ah but thats the thing, my SR had blown up, i figured i could pop another one in but theres a chance it could go again, and as a fresh graduate i didnt have the money to run the thing really so just took it off the road. Then i looked at the numbers and for the value added to the car and subtracting the value of parts sold the 1JZ looked like a decent route to take plus mega reliability.

Ive also done alot of the stuff myself, well, everything so far except a couple of fabricated parts. And yeah as people have said 1jz is a bit expensive but if you shop around there are bargains to be had as with anything. Check my build thread anyway, its gone all quiet even with the addition of videos!!

[Matt]

not done as much as i wanted to by now due to lack of time and too much alcohol...

but had a few hours on it yesterday stripping the inside more, sound deadening is mostly removed, still got about a million spot welds to drill out to remove all the pointless brackets etc.

i'll hopefully have another few hours on it later in the week and stick some pictures up

[Matt]

shit progress, not alot to see but here's a quick photo of where its been sat for the past few weeks.


main reasons for slow progress is too much work at the garage and also everything that ive done so far is sooooo time consuming e.g removing every bit of sound deadening and drilling a million spot welds out to remove all the unneccasary shit!

i like them so much now ive gone and bought another as my daily now
