Team Falken UK 650hp V35 Skyline (G35)

[Polo]

Got asked to put this up here so here goes

 

Ok, hello

 

I wasnt going to start this thread yet but im soooo excited about the hole project i cant keep my mouth shut

 

S14 has gone to its new home , here is its replacement, considering iv never even looked at the chassis befor, just thoght "I want that one" and i know diddley squat about 2jz's iv got my work cut out!!!! Im not even sure if the engine will fit in the hole yet :wack: Thogh there is an rb26 left hooker knocking about that gives me some reasurance that things will kinda fit.

 

So i pic this up early next week ugly fucker aint it :wack:

 

 

Epracing have this Dmax kit on order

 

 

 

 

So, plan is get the car on the ramp early next week and asses the chassise, steering and suspension, to see what iv let my self in for and see what can be done.

 

Then strip it down to a rolling shell, selling most of it :wack:, trial fit the 2jz then off to have a cage fitted.

 

Then its just a bit vauge from then on

 

Im set on a 2jz at 600hp and have one lined up but there is another engine potential also 600hp but 3.8ltr v6 twin turbo Just got to work out if i can relisticly do that as it would with out doubt be one of the coolest modern drift cars!!

 

Watch this space, im sure its going to get interesting

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

 

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 tot he 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.

Ok, collected the car last night and headed to Garage-D to collect the front sump needed for the conversion and the prop.

 

 

While there we chucked it on the ramp to inspect the chassis, see what could be done etc.

We mesured the wheel base and its 12" longer than an s14!!! Thogh the car may not be longer the G35 has hardly any over hang. Its also 2" wider.

Other things i noticed wer its got a saloon type boo where the window stays down unlike a Z. Also on the way back i found its got DVD player and TV lol. And its got twin front lower arms like the modern BMW's, Jags Audi etc, i thoght they had one solid lower arm.

 

Back at HQ this morn, the last pics youl see of it looking like a normal car and the 1st!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This also arived, masive thanks to Christy (Carpo)

 

 

 

 

So i got the turbos off tonight, what a job that is, you think getting an sr turbo off is a job, think again lol

 

 

this little lot has got to weigh 30kg at least!!!

 

 

So, im using the car this week and think il strip it sat, so if any one knows any one wanting any parts, please put them this way.

[Polo]

Been busy stripping and shopping today spent most my budget already :wack:

 

As usual, a hell of alot of crap came out weighing a ton!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Polo]

Time for updates, lots done, il let the pics do the talking as norm.

 

The 2j got stripped some more, ready for new shiney manifolds

 

cheapy cheap ebay fuel rail, will be getting modified for two feeds and one return in the centre.

 

Stripped out the front end, this is fibre glass, its the slam panel, holds the rad, lights bumper, etc etc etc, nice and light also prety strong.

 

 

 

 

See how clean it is

 

2j front sump, seing whats the best option

 

Front sump defo the better option, so on it went

 

 

Then time for trial fit, its resting on wood ATM, im going to try get it back 2 inch and down 1.

 

 

as is its about 4 inch forword of where the vq sat

Ok, so maybe its a bit random, ill explain, i joined here for info and knowledge, in my welcome thread i explaned what im doing and some one suggested i post up the thread here, so its just copied and pasted from other forums. I collected the car and started this project last tuesdaythe 14th. After selling my 500hp Falken sponsored s14, this is its replacement, to be built and up to competition spec ready for testing by end of feb at the latest lol.

Oh, BTW my arm is in a cast ATM too, so im doing it all one handed until thats off

good build thread, keep the updates coming and pics also

[Guigsy]

thats going to be tight!

[Rob_Mitchell]

interesting build mate, best of luck and keep us posted

[Attero]

[Swampy442]

They are an odd looking car but im still not sure.

We have couple round this way but with a propper engine and that kit it may be a little beauty.

Thanks, will do, plan to to give an update every day.

 

thats going to be tight!

 

Tight as in space or time? Space wise I think otl be tight on both sides, I have a front facing jun style plenum on the way which I know will be tight but as it has no inner wings it should fit, if not il have to mod the inner wing, the exhaust side I'm fitting a BorgWarner s200sx turbo which is not huge but again might be tight, I can mod the manifold easy enough to make it fit if it's tight.

If it's time, I don't think it's an issue atal, it's just if I run out of money and have to find ways of funding it thatl hold the project up. Plan is to get it up and working and do the real development over the next year or so.

Nice build Not sure if you're aware, but there are quite a few 2J swapped Infinitis in the US - they might be useful to troubleshoot if you needed.

[davej705]

[marcAB10]

this is a really interesting build. keep us posted!

[hodge]

Ok guys, I'm after some bits and cant post in the wanted section due to my lack of posts. Need a bellhousing to fit r154 to the 2Jz, also an r154 shifter, top mount exhaust manifold, hks fcon pro gold or suitable management, some injectors 850cc upwards.

Thats actually a factory body kit, not an aftermarket job, the std one is very subtle, the look of that one is achieved by being very low and low offset wheels, i am about to change my offsets to achieve a better stance.

 

Glad you put your project here and on the other forums Polo:)

it will give the 350GT Skyline/Infinity G35 a bit of much needed exposure, IMO its a grown up 350Z,

But with the best of both worlds, 350Z chassis and 2JZ motor it going to cause quite a stir in the drift scene next year;)

I cant see the link posted

 

Yes offset and wheel size makes alot of differance, this year on my s14 i ran a very subtile kit compared to what i used to have but ran 12j et0 wheels, had mega stance

 

Here is some pics of my old car, currently on its way to Sweden
