so now that i have some free time and i am graduating soon which means real progress, i figured why not make a build thread.
Just gonna get everything caught up until now. check instagram for more updates!! @dan_doee picked her up easter weekend of 2014, bone stock owned by an older lady with 93K on the dash After a proper detail Attachment 627076[/URL] finished up the semester, and got right back into working. which meant time to start stockpiling parts: Attachment 627077 installed everything over one weekend and got her on the ground Attachment 627078 then it was time to save for some wheels, which eventually led to this Attachment 627079 eventually picked up tires, got them mounted and threw them on with two weeks to spare before summer was over!! Resulted in this, i was not very satisfied with the fitment but i had very little cash or free time to do anything about that Attachment 627080 Attachment 627081 Attachment 627082 http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/z...psp50zm8mj.jpg Also made this diffuser and mounted it on the car, this was version #2 Attachment 627083 car stayed that way until winter break, where i daily drive it the whole winter, and also i bought a real camera!!! Attachment 627084 Over winter break i saved up some cash and made these skirt extensions Attachment 627085 Used my tax return to pick up some goodies which included G35 rear spats, spacers, a fender roller Attachment 627086 |

Picked up a rocket bunny V2 splitter which i planned to eventually tie into some canards, but unfortunately a chunk of ice fell off a truck on my way to school, hit the splitter and exploded most of it. el oh el
one of 5 pics i took before it became shrapnal Attachment 627057 Threw on 15MM PBM spacers on the front and knew i wanted/needed more camber Attachment 627058 worked on the car all easter weekend(2015): slotted upper hole for more camber Attachment 627059 removed rear lower locking ring and threw on 5MM's Attachment 627060 got everything back together, took the car for a test drive and decided i needed to clearance the frame rails in the front and slightly pull the rear Attachment 627061 finished the driver side, lowered car torqued 4 lugs, hit the fifth and bam! split the PBM key Attachment 627062 Called PBM on monday, and thanks to their great customer service, there is a new one on the way. this is how she currently sits!! Attachment 627063 Attachment 627064 and this is the 3rd time i redid the diffuser, trimmed 1.5 inches Attachment 627065 and a random interior shot lol Attachment 627066 |

I was going to slot my pbm pros as well, but I work next to a machine shope and actually taking the perch's over to them to put another set of mounting hols in it to get the strut to move directly horizontal instead. The goofy coils do: / - \ | - | and \ - /. I wan -- - --. Seems like it should work.
Depending how much you notched that upper hole you may want to consider tack welding a washer on the outside of hole to keep your adjustment from bumping out of place (It WILL happen) |
^this is true, my PBM's kept adjusting themselves in the slot that they come with, I ended up using lock washers and tons of red thread lock and a huge impact to keep them from moving

Clean car. This is the drifting section so, what are your plans for the engine? Love to see clean ass FCs. They are rare now days.
|

What wheels are those? Also size and whatnot if you remember, Car is looking great! Love the fact that you're using parts you build too. Subscribed!:icon_tup:

Damn I would really like to see a little more detailed writeup of the engine work. I wanna go 1j so bad. Looks amazing dude.
got the engine pulled out at the end of november http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/z...psbohdsfil.jpg found a great deal on a CD009 from an 07 G35. comparo to the 13B NA trans Attachment 612183 Checking if it is possible.. seems legit http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/z...psdy7ogvzx.jpg youll need a rear sump JZ pan also. scored this on the 2JZ facebook group Attachment 612184 upper pan sealed up Attachment 612185 pulled the dash Attachment 612186 getting ready for the first test fit. engine stripped of twin turbo setup and block cleaned and painted Attachment 612187 removed the old trans mounts which is the only way that chubby transmission will fit Attachment 612188 Attachment 612189 $5 harbor freight spot weld drill but FTW Attachment 612190 excessive manufacturing mounts which are very high quality Attachment 612191 mount fitment, other side very similar.

first test fit of engine only, notice how far forward it sat in the beginning Attachment 612172
plenty of oil pan clearance Attachment 612173 picked up some aero too and got started on some canards Attachment 612174 Collins adapter plate bolted up Attachment 612175 Attachment 612176 and the adapter flywheel which will be mated to an ACT HD 6 puck Attachment 612177 Attachment 612178 Engine/trans all mated for the first time:) Attachment 612179 And then sliding in the FCs DMs Attachment 612180 first fit was pretty promising but obvi it needs to fit as far back as possible so no one can cry about ruining my weight distribution Attachment 612181 Attachment 612182 |
