My poor SR22VE-T 350z Time Attack Car Build - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

ecknissan240 · 09-26-2014, 03:27 AM

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.

For more photos of the house fire, you can visit here
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/360053-big-...car-build.html

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!

It was also a turbo 350z at the time when i bought it but i sold all of that right when i bought it.

well, shes jacked up and ready to start getting ripped apart.

time for the engine setup to come out and go bye bye! (VINs got cut off since we are ripping the tubbing out of the engine bay, will weld VINs back onto the firewall before paint)

A bit more of an update, but its mostly just pics of the parts that have come in for the build.

New Coil Pack cover from Nissan for the P12 Valve Cover

Q45 90mm throttle body...most likely replacing with a billet one...it will look cleaner

tilton hydrolic release bearing

AEM coils

Full Spec Moto splined quick release

SR to VG Transmission Conversion Plate

MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS UPDATE JUST BECAUSE OF THE BACK STORY

Tomei 2-way differential with a 1.5-way conversion kit
the back story to this is that the U.S. branch of Tomei had no idea that they even sold a 1.5-way conversion kit of it so they had to call the Japan branch to ask if they even sold a kit to make it a 1.5-way...turns out they do

SUSPENSION UPDATE TIME!

I bought almost everything from SPL

front upper arms V3
front lower arm bushings
front compression rod bushings
front outer tie rod ends
front stabilizer end links
rear toe arms
rear camber links
rear traction links
rear knuckle bushing kit
rear stabilizer end links
solid differential bushing set
tein inner tie rods

Stance XR coilovers with Swift springs

I picked up some Fontana adjustable front lower control arms for the Z. They're billet aluminum arms, so they're light and very strong.

Don't have a picture, but also got Whiteline stabilizer bars F+R.

KEEPING IT COOL UPDATE!

so, like i said in the first post, im going for being a bit different witht his build...trying to do things a lot of people don't do. so i decided to go with a liquid to air intercooler setup to be a bit different but to also try it out since i have never personaly tried this type of cooling before. This setup is rated for 1200hp, so im sure it will work fine.

heat exchanger (radiator for the intercooler) 26 X 7 X 3.5
Liquid to Air Intercooler 15 X 6.5 X 6
Ice Box (for track days)
Bosch Cobra Pump
dual fans for the heat exchanger

Electronic water pump setup (this is replacing the pulley driven pump on the engine...a plate will be placed instead of the original pump)

the new C&R radiator came in today!

I also had the Mazworx water pump block off plate come in the mail today!

Nismo differential cover

I got a Setrab series 6-25 row oil cooler for the engine oil and a Setrab series 6-7 row oil cooler for the power steering fluid.

Not pictured, is another setrab oil cooler for the differential.

Full-Race SR20VE-T Turbo Manifold FINALLY came in

What it looks like on the engine

Unfortunatly, the BW EFR 8374 is on extreme back order till who knows when...i ordered it back in April 2011. if its not here by the end of January 2012, I'll probably just switch to the Garret GTX series turbo...
