Ztrix.com also known as Reaction Research has both the "YZ" and "IMSA" kit that will accommodate 12" wheels.

Sadly the time has come for me to part ways with my much loved Volk TE37 V wheels that are new, unused and never mounted to the car. I have decided to go with a wider 2/3 piece wheel so these Forged wheels are up for sale. They are 17" x 9" -10, and 17" x 10" -20 and a 5 x 114.3 pcd in a gunmetal finish with polished lips. I purchased the TE37 SL red stickers only to find out they would not fit the spokes due to the (V ) stepped lip, so I had a local company replicate and resize them to fit the (V) wheels. These will be included as well as all the original stickers that came with the wheels. I had a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in 265/40/ZR 17" mounted to the rear, but had them removed for this sale. I am also selling that set of tires separate (half priced at $325). They are new and never turned a mile. I have everything (boxes, lip covers , tags just as they came from the factory. New these wheels and stickers were over $3k and took almost 7 months to ship. I am asking a firm $2500 on these Mint wheels. I am located in East county of San Diego 91941.

W Way back along time ago when the car was at Time Machine Racecraft in Oceanside, I had Tho remove the old stock rails and put in new rails/floors and a custom flat bar to work with the Evo 9 Recaro seats that I have. I am also short (5'8") and have metal spacers to raise the seats as needed. I still need to make a last round trip up to Tho to finish the rear stitch welding, cut out the spare tire well for a Radium Engineering fuel cell/FCST and a rear battery install whenever I can afford all that.

Love to see the progress of others builds here as I vicariously live through others projects while my own crawls along. Keep up the great work...

Splurged on a few cosmetic pieces during the Christmas sales or slight mark downs. Got these Titan Motorsports carbon fiber pieces for the 2J motor from MVP Motorsports. Unfortunately I have to turn attention and funds to a new daily driver and have to put the Z project on hold for a little bit longer with the exception of the current rear fender flare project that's in motion.

Sorry for the delayed response. Sorry but one time one off flare project that is dragging on much like my whole build project. As for the fronts I am still going with the Ztrix (Subtle Z) fiberglass front end (Fenders blended with head light buckets, air dam and a Rocket Bunny bumper slightly modded to fit.) I may cut the front fender wheel lips and widen it a tad for a little more tire width, but generally keeping that subtle z style. I plan on running a different set of wheels than the purchased Volk TE37V that I currently have. Most likely will be SSR Professor SP1R in 17"x9 (9'5") and 17"x12".

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm trying to blend in the metal version of YZ flares much like the Ztrix would. The idea was to completely replicate the fiberglass YZ flares in metal, weld, clean up to blend smoothly.

Sorry for the delayed response. On E85 and whatever the safest highest boost setup I imagine low 600 and whatever safe tune and boost on 91 pump gas allows, (500 +?)

I love seeing these updates and your approach to widening the rear. Out of curiosity what is the wheel dimensions/tire size?

Oh how I love everything about this and I really like P cars as well. That engine sound is glorious!

Looking forward to seeing this come together....

This car is a Pure Beast!!

Well it has been quite awhile since I last put any updates on the never ending "lifetime build" so now I finally have a few things to submit to this build thread. I had come to a crossroads as to which direction to take with the differential / axles, suspension and brakes. I had slowly acquired a few a la cart pieces of the Arizona Z car catalog, (Weld in camber plates, R200 rear brace kit with doglegs and rear mustache bar mount) over the course of this slow build and was not interested in the companion flange method so I sold some of the three different manufacturers of suspension components as well as my Wilwood brake set up that I bought from the old Vildini Motorsports shop car and opted to complete the rest of the Arizona Z Car "Track Pak", thus eliminating the companion flange method. Whether or not this holds up in the long run remains to be seen, but I will give it a good try. I may have my fabricator Tho build some custom triangulated and heim- ed rear lower control arms to use instead of the supplied AZC ones as he built some for his own Z that he unfortunately ended up selling. I also decided that the rear Ztrix Subtle Z quarter panels as well as the Volk TE37 V wheels at 10" wide rear with 275" tires will not cut it for the power of the engine and decided to go with the next size up "YZ" rear quarter panels. These quarter panels will accommodate a 12" wide rear wheel and 315"s so better chance to put power down. No sooner than I had finally gotten back in touch with Stewart the body/paint guy to ask of his available schedule he informed me he could build the rear YZ quarters out of metal for a little more than I paid for the fiberglass ones. I committed to this approach and we set out to get metal material right as Covid 19 lock downs were starting in Southern California. The "Emperor" Governor Gavin Newsome put a lock down on non essential businesses and the one metal supply store local to me Competitive Metals, that carried the requested 18 gauge cold rolled, deep drawn 4x10' sheet as well as round tube and flat stock to make the bucks for the sheet to form to was only doing business with certified essential companies. I had a local repair/tire shop pull a favor for me and order the needed supplies and got it over to Stewart to begin work on his spare time. Many months went by and he finally managed to get both bucks finished and today we went and test fit them to local friend and Hybrid Z member (Grnsky) stock bodied 260Z with an L29ET for visual reference. Stewart was awaiting some new dies for his English wheel that finally arrived and work will begin shortly on bending the sheet to match the bucks. The other part I had been awaiting to arrive from Japan was a new O S Giken 1.5 way LSD and gear oil which took 7.5 months to make it's journey. I took that over to Pro Gear and had them assess the overall condition of my R200 and apply all the components. While I was awaiting the LSD, I ended up cleaning, rust encapsulating and painting my diff body using EastWood products as well as having the finned cover vapor blasted to get it back to a like new condition. Next plans are to focus on finishing the rear quarters in metal and then sell my new Volk TE37 V wheels and have some new SSR Professor SP1R's made to fit properly without spacers. Time to start saving again.... Pics of everything mentioned below....

Nice progress on the swap. Curious as to what company you went with for the trans/bellhousing adapter. I am aware of Maverick Motorsports, Collins Adapters and SerielNine, but have not chosen one for my swap as of yet.

Your right about that as it was $107ish for two litres where I live...

I just received an OS Giken 1.5 way unit two weeks ago which took 7.5 months to arrive (Covid 19?). Definitely not inexpensive, but very well made and quality .

I like where your going with this. Interested in seeing this progress.

Super clean engine. Looking Good and always great to see the youth getting hands on and quality time with the fam...

Love to see the progress!!

Agreed! And fast as Hell!

Nicely done and well documented...

Pure Turbos in Oceanside CA. I believe Chris is who I inquired some info from. They have the ability to rebuild or custom build and most importantly can balance in house with VSR cartridge balancing system. They were very helpful when I was looking into a T3/T4 turbo rebuild on my old l28et but I never ended up having them do it though.

Derek, this is great news and hoping when you drain it is within the 1/4 range as you were hoping for.

Enjoyed that!
