I started this build on another forum a few years ago, so I'm going to try and work all the posts over to this one.
Okay so I want to explain beforehand, why I’m doing the build this way. The build was originally going to be done on my rhd S14.5, but do to a shop (groundwerks garage...run by brad hettinger) screwing me over (selling the parts off the car and sending the rest of the shell to a recycling yard even though they were supposed to be just doing the cage hah) I no longer had that car to build. The reason I had no idea that this was happening, was because back on December 7th 2010, my house burned down which had me a bit distracted from my car. Also, the fire destroyed about ~15k dollars in parts that I was going to be placing on the S14.

At that point, I was basically building a car from scratch (except I already had money sent out for the new engine). I went through a long search of looking for a car…but I wanted to build on a chassis that I haven’t built yet. So, I looked for r32, S15, m3 e30, but I ended up finding a well-priced and 100% problem free 350z that I was able to pick up.
As for this car build, it is doing to be my Limited Class Global Time Attack car…and maybe see the street on an absolutely perfect day. NO CHEAP PARTS and NO CUT CORNERS will be done on this build. DON'T bother saying any negative comments about the engine/chassis combination. An SR is lighter than a VQ and is able to sit further back/lower in the engine bay giving it a better center of gravity along with a better 50/50 weight distribution. also, this car will not have any power issues (i will show you with some of the future updates) should have plenty of power for the car. I plan to have the car finished within 6 months from the start of this thread…so there is a lot of work that needs to be done. one of the big things im trying to do with this build, is to be a bit different then everyone else. im trying to pick parts and do things to the car that most people dont do...that will possibly explain why I'm doing what im doing :) LETS GET STARTED!
This is how the car looked the day I got it!
