Tire Killing Machine z32 drift car
Tire Killing Machine

Finally got a Daily here it is



Time has come to put the Z under the knife and make it a real drift car. TRYING to make it formula d pro am Atlanta this year, time is ticking and I got a lot of work to do so we shall see what happens.

Current car mods, blah blah all the regular stuff, the lastest cool thing was a Reinforced sub frame w bushings from PBM, solid diff bushings, project mu ebrake shoes (which work awesome hydros are laaame) and urethane bushings for the rear uprights.



Current plans-

VH V8 swap, FD spec roll cage and some small stuff along the way.



Current Progress- gutting interior, stitch welding, Planning out cage, Pulling out gay ass VG engine, Custom Fender Braces, Port matching




















Header flanges



Clearance



Engine mount base plates





Copying the plate ( why do you ask?) because I have the ability to and when I’m done I can have a plate for the ¼ of the price.



As soon as I finish making the plate I’ll put the engine and trans in and start making the motor mounts, headers, and figure out oil pan clearance.

as far as I know its not really modded (rear at least) (cut up or anything) BUT they changed that with the huge v8 fad, they now allow it.

Hey Mongooze,
I seen you a while back at a drift event in Palm Beach. You did your damn thing. I even think you had a NA engine at the time. Keep up the good work with the Z32

somehow the hood actually clears, all I did was remove some of the inner skin, no shitty hood scoop required.

still have alot to do but this is more or less on how it will be.

update tyyme, update tyyymeee!!!


Im changing some things around, I'm raising the motor and pushing it back some more,
I'm redoing the motor mounts and headers, the motor sat too far down and too far forward to my liking, if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it right.

but in the meantime the car is going somewhere for something.....
