Lots of good ideas guys, keep them coming!


For those talking about fixes for the weak Oil pump, is a true dry sump system something you would be looking to spend money on? Keep in mind a kit like that will most likely be well over $6000. We work very closely with Dailey Engineering so if there is enough interest in a full kit that may be something we can dig into.


For a VK swap, if we can get a customer that is looking to do the swap we would love to get the car in and work on a kit! Unfortunately Chris's and the other shop cars are so far from factory that we can not base a kit off of them. But a street going VK 370Z is for sure on our list of builds we want to do!

I got to see Chis's ride up close and personal and the body parts are incredibly lightweight. The hood can be lifted with one hand with not much effort at all. Interested in the cost of the body parts and a functional front splitter.

Not sure how I missed this!


For the hood, if you guys are interested this is something you can get.

It starts life as a SEIBON Dry carbon hood (Not the standard hoods) and we have about 8-10 hours into skinning and cutting the inner structure from the hood to cut the weight. We would be more than happy to offer that as a service if customers would like.


But keep in mind, with something like this you loose all Latch and hinge function and would be a full pin on "race weight" hood.

Np, I actually picked up the hood after Chris had removed it and it felt like three or four pounds.

The Sebion hoods (Chris's sponsor) are still heavier than stock without the massive hole cut into it like his has.

I'm pricing a bolt in roll bar /half cage so if you are interested in producing one I'm all ears.

The hood he is holding may be made by Sebion but it's not the one you and I can purchase. The Nismo next to him is a Sebion and they are not even close on weight.

bolt in half cage, yes please. Four point, strut bars to b pillar, for the rear could be cool also



i dont think there is many companies that make replacements for the rear chassis bar either

Talking

1. Bolt on front splitter for '11 Nismo front bumper.
2. Winglets for the '11 Nismo front bumper.
3. Wet sump oil system that bypasses the stock pump.
4. Bolt it 4 point roll bar that sits far enough back that won't interfere with seat adjustable, and also ties in the rear upper shock mounts.
5. Rear diff oil cooler kit with pump, filter, thermostatic switch so that it comes on by itself, cooler, mounting bracket, and hoses.
6. Vents for the stock hood.
7. Wider fenders that bolt on, and blend with the stock body lines. Not the crap that's out now that looks chopped in the rear.
8. Getting a Titlon clutch master cylinder to fit.
9. Still thinking.
