350z gets a makeover

[Chris05ppwz]

Spray painted the rear quarter.Nothing new, but the whole car is getting painted in the upcoming weeks. Ordering my Crown Carbon Crafting 15mm over fenders this weekend. Hoping to have the car all painted before offset kings in Atlanta and show the car down there. The weekend after that is Sowo, can't wait!

March 14th i ended up doing my second drift event while living in tennessee and also my first drift event on air. The air performed equally as good as coil overs in my opinion and the adjustability is awesome
Ended up trying top get everything painted the day before the drift event, lets just say that we were up until 1am and i had to be up at 6am … and still didn't get it finished but the next day i was overly excited for a rainy day drift event.
Layed some base coat down:

Shot some clear on some parts that we had finished up prepping:

At this point we were tired and i headed to my friends house to stay the night prior to the event. So many tires lol

On the grid the next day early:

I love driving new tracks, beech bend raceway was very fun in the rain Ended up only going through one set of tires all day! Unfortunately i had to drive my car without the kit, had the weirdest looks. Heres two videos:
Sorry for the shitty quality

Second video is better quality

Came home after the event and immediately threw on my kit, still missing paint in some areas:

Sadly, the paint doesn't match. My clear coat couldn't have possibly faded that much in a year and a half. But i was happy to see it almost one color

Money shot lol, still need to paint my over fenders and eventually paint everything we didn't just paint. Stoked its all coming together though

tried to tell people airlift is the best lol

No complaints yet! haha

Sick! Stoked to hear you like the air lift and that its performing its duties on and off the track.

Yes it is! Very stoked on it!

Hnng. Good job bloke!

Thank you sir!

I love the fact that you took your car from something that was "less useful", to something you can use and abuse and enjoy to it's full potential. As they saying goes: "A show car isn't always a race car, but a race car is always a show car".

Keep up the great work.

Thank you, really appreciate that man, drifting is so much fun. I love the fact that people are so nice, down to earth, and willing to help out

Love this shit man. And now with the air... always from one extreme to the other.

Thanks dude! I got the air for so cheap i would have been done to pass it up! You going to Sowo?!

For an upcoming drift event i prepped the car, and made sure everything was good to go; Bought some sway bar bushings as mine were utterly destroyed. Those damn brackets that hold the sway bar in were a bitch to get out.

I finally managed to get it out, the pbm super angle kit looking nice

New bushings in, greased, and sway bar cleaned up and painted!

New tires just in time for the event!

I was crazy excited, but a little skeptical since i haven't drifted my car in about 6 months prior to the event. I put all my nervousness behind me and just went and had fun; thats what its all about. Drifting around walls was very scary to say the least, there was a handful amount of people who hit the wall that day. Heres some pics/videos of the awesome, chilly day in Nashville

Sweet picture of that day!
Heres soe videos:



About a week ago i traded my powered by max coils plus cash for an airlift performance kit with autopilot v2. I wasn't happy with how high the rear sat so i made some custom mounts.That leads us to today, the car is finally sitting okay and needs an alignment asap. Once i get back from my trip from California i plan to paint everything white! Heres some pictures i went out and took today




I am still drifting on the airlift, very pleased with the performance of the kit. Needless to say i was very skeptical at first. Plus i got such a good deal i couldn't pass it up Thanks for reading!

Such confuse
So Z,
much amaze
wow

Thanks! hahah

It is probably at my favorite stage right now. Those blitz wheel do something to me. Good job dude.

Really appreciate that man, i have to say i love how it looks right now too!

How did you get the fenders looking smooth and grinded out before you added the bondo?

We mocked everything up and after we welded it we grinded down the welds!
