Jason's Fairlady Z34 Journal
 

Hello Everyone! :hello:

This is my first time posting here on the Member's Gallery! Ive been a ninja lurking in shadows for sometime now working on my Nissan 370/Fairlady Z. I'm currently working as a Visual Development Artist and College Instructor. I wanted to post up my specs so you guys could see my current set-up. I'm using the car for dual purposes. Daily Driver, and Weekend Track Car. See you at the Racetrack!

Nice set-up! Great pics! I like the spec sheet too.

Hey GaleForce, thank you! I appreciate the kind message! You have a beautiful ride as well man! ;)

I see in your track photos you're using the stock wheels, are your Volks just for Daily Driving? or have you used them on the track too?

NICE!!! Your car looks so mean!!! Finally your journal is up.

Thank you Ricky! I can't wait to make my apt with R's Tuning! See you soon buddy! -J

GaleForce-To answer your question, the Volk Wheels are a new mod. I'm having my stock wheels powder-coated in black at the moment. I am planning on using both sets at the Race Track. I want to see the weight difference from 19" Stocks to 19" G2's. I know they are 15 lbs lighter than stock!

Here are some photos from my Clutch Kit RPS/Specialty Z

The Clutch Kit incorporated the use of a Tilton racing slave. To achieve the proper release and ensure maximum clutch life the height of the flywheel and clutch pressure plates have been shortened. In doing so they have saved even more weight from their original version.

Max Street Kit shown installed on my NA VHR. You can see the two orangery stripes on the pressure plate and flywheel (balancing mark). They take the time to balance their assemblies for even more engine smoothness.

Specialty Z Kits include the segmented aluminum flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, racing CSC, pilot bushing, SS lines, and associated hardware.

The response is almost instantaneous.

Awesome Z you got there bro!

Looks good :tup:
I love that rear wing, where did you pick that up?

That's awesome as well that you have so many tracks you can go to!

Thank you Iwan! :tiphat:

We are very fortunate here in California to have so many tracks. :driving:

Cool man you started your Z journal!!

Thanks Walter, Get em!! :tiphat:

Thank you kind sir! :tup:

Looks great! You're really pulling those Mine's air ducts off!
They go great with the canards and the front lip.. great job :tup:

Thank you Anthony! The best part is they look awesome plus they are functional :driving:

Can't wait!
See you soon Martin, I will call you soon to set up a meeting to pick up the wing! Talk to you later man.

AWESOME looking Z there! Love everything about it. :tup:

how are the akebono's holding up? what types of venting if any are you using? what pads and lines and fluid are you using? Ice mode at all?

Thank you! I really appreciate that Gurneyeagle. Your ride is sick too!

Hey Supergoji, the Akebono's have been great thus far. So far Ive ran three different Brake Pads.. Stock, Project Mu, and Endless.

I find the endless pads the best under extreme conditions and don't go into ice mode. The project Mu's would go into ice mode, so I would have to compensate with doing a faint tap before heavy braking.. Just to make sure there is brake fluid in the lines.
