nascar v8 350z drift car
I use to run an s13 with an s13 SR until I fenced it at XDC New Jersey. Right before qualifying I went to burn in a new set and check some changes and I ended up backing into the wall on the bank. the rear quarter caved onto the wheel and the cage and frame twisted. The car lasted for 4 years and I had a blast.
For the 2011 season I have acquired an 03 350z track edition. I played around with it at streetwise in December and had a blast, I cant wait to see how the car feels with almost triple the horsepower and properly set up. I began stripping it down with the help of some friends to prepare for soda blasting Since soda blasting, Autosport Dynamics has begun transforming my 350z from a local drift event beater into a first class burnout machine for XDC and the Streetwise Drift Pro-Am series. Thankfully, Falken’s contract with ASD only restricts them from building a competitor’s Formula Drift Pro car. Jesse Wisner, an ASD fabricator who isn’t involved with the Falken Drift Program, has been hard at work prepping the car. This will be the 3rd 350z built by ASD, not counting the rebuild on Tyler’s retired pro car for ASD mechanic Steve Sokol. Jesse has over 80 feet of tubing in the car and is tig welding the cage as well as other components. He is new to drifting, but obviously not new to welding and fabrication; he has been involved in building race cars for many years. Here is his fabrication work on the steering shaft and Wilwood pedal mount. The cage is complete and only a few more components are left to fabricate before the car heads to paint. Dave from ASD approves! I originally planned to swap a basic LS1 set up in the car, but I was given an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. ASD has taken on the task of fitting a Dodge Nationwide engine into the Z. The engine has been converted to electronic fuel injection managed by a Haltech P2000 from ASD and tuned by Six Sigma Dyno Services. The car is way further along but I havent had the time to upload the new pics. I will find the time in the next few days to post them up.

Its a Dodge Evernham engine, 358CI we will see how much power it makes without restrictions, Ive heard they can be in the 800 hp range. To handle all that power the z subframe received a winters quickchange rear end and Driveshaft Shop custom axels and driveshaft.

OMG! Amazing. Although I am not a fan of 350z's I have to say that this 350z will surely change my mind. I would have loved to have seen a ls1 into a 350z though. I am in the process of putting a ls1 into my caged 280z and plan on drifting it some day. Keep up the good work and more pictures!!!
