Great thread. Just read the whole thing. Have just picked up a Z to replace my S14 drift car. I'm from Australia and there is zero aftermarket support for them here so far. And our dollar is so weak against yours is gonna cost me a fortune haha.

Good to see your car drifts so well with minimal mods. The main thing in worried about is lock. I've gotten used to 60 degrees in my other car. Gets me out of all sorts of trouble

Thanks for reading, appreciate the feedback. That sucks it will cost you more, these cars are expensive as it is. The biggest problem with this car is steering angle. I have the voodoo13 rack spacers and they made it go from 30 degrees to 45. Bad thing with these is you have to lose your steering rack boots which sucks because now my steering rack is going bad due to dirt. I am working with Mike at NST to a rack spacer that allows you to keep your boots, will let you know soon when they are ready. We just tested a prototype.

What tie rod ends do you have? And did you have to notch the front subframe for clearance with the rack spacers? I got the rack spacers and they fouled on the subframe. Emailed V13 but no response. So I ground away some subframe lol.
Next problem I had was I couldn't dial out the toe in they caused with the SPL tie rod ends. Have taken them off now.

I have oem tie rods but I had to cut them to get them back to zero after the Voodoo13 rack spacers. Don't have to grind the subframe, I just max out at 45 degrees.
