Building Z31 for drifting, new to this part of forum.
5:06 PM 5/18/2009
Bought a Z31 a few months ago, since then have stripped it down and re built front end and was working on rear when I blew my transmission last Saturday at an SCCA event. So I'm going to a stronger trans and finishing up suspension, polys and such.
I've been practicing drifting in a nice safe and easy WRX the past couple years, I believe I've down all I can with it without lots of mods so I chose the Z31... it kinda chose me. I'm even picking up another this week, I'm hard on ém. Hope I get some knowledge out of this group. Late.

I've had the car for acouple months (Z31), so far... Prothane polys ( i've done the front and I am waiting on some additional parts before I do the rear) front, has new Nissan tie-rod ends, new Nissan tension bars, rotors, calipers,ceramic brake pads, Nissan Struts, strut mounts, boots, bumpers. refurbished other parts I did not replace and painted them a slightly off two-tone. Magnaflow muffler, (waiting on rest of exhaust for turbo) Apexi Grounding System Optium Red Top Battery C-West Hyper Voltage Stabilizer Inside, full dash of Equus 8000 Performance gauges Grant steering whell( Slightly smaller than stock for quicker turning) No stereo, heat, AC, or any other interior except dash and original seats(Momo seats and Nismo Harnesses coming after Roll Bar installation. Lots of rewiring! Running stock rims with 195 65r15s Bridgestone Insignias ( Moving up to Volk 17s with Yokohama AVSs on front and Kumho Colored Smoke on rears) Some interior lights, some sticker upgrades!LOL! (All inside for personal pleasure). Also coming soon besides Turbo, Mishimoto Radiator Dual eletric fan combo, oil cooler, and Mishimoto intercooler. Greddy Oil canister, Apexi Boost Controller, Apexi fuel management, Apexi Launch Module. Some NIsmo dress up and finally Tanabe MZ electronically controlled suspension system. Having local guy building custom dual catless exhaust with pipes as straight as possible. He's installling my stronger trans too. Paint hasn't really occured to me much, I'm sure I'll need body work and paint sooner or later anyways... well that's me.

Momo grip plates should be here today, and Eagle One sent a year supply of their new line of car detailing products. God, I love them and Royal Purple, they save me so much cash!
