Post Title: Building Z31 for drifting, new to this part of forum.
Posted by: 4AM at 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.

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!

I also removed rear spoiler, wiper and moved third brake light to Euro spots on either side of the license plate. It looks smoother, cleaner.

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!
