Hi All Havent been on in a while but thought you might get a laugh from my shop build I am doing at the moment. We are trying to get this car built in 10week for the Nissan Datsun Nationals at Phillip Island Her is a link to the first vid. Its not a professional job Ash

Latest pic of the car Put a mesh grill in the front Ash

Here is a side shot and a low front and other advice on aero etc is always appreciated Ash

Hi All Been ofline for a few days and just noticed all the talk On the wheel travel its the same setup I ran on m old car and never had the tyre make contact with the flair so it should be fine. On the intercooler pipes they do run through holes in the wheel arch. The main issue I had is they reduce the turning circle because of the large tyre etc. I was going to go back to the G-nose but always loved the look of the blunt front. I am still thinking of adding some type of dive plates infront of the flairs to try to divert the air? As far as brake ducts I will be using the narrow slits in the base of the front spoiler. Ash

I find with toe out on the front my race car wanders a bit under heavy braking Race car with 285 slicks all round I like to run 1-2mm toe in Ash

Looks awsome Giving me motivation to try it myself Ash

Pics with the new carbon bonnet I made. (overlay) put on my road tyres so I can test it Just need to make a grill now? Ash

The flairs are actually off an old 911 porsche. My Dad had them in the back of the shed and I tried them on and with a little modding they fitted up ok So I havent actually got molds but probably will make some. Ash

Thanks again The spoiler is removable and the original front valance is under it. I will definatly seal the area between the spoiler and rad support( havent done it yet) I read a little of the aero section and I think the main info I got was the sealing of that section. Its been 4 yrs so far so its really great to have it getting closer to being ready to test Ash

Thanks guys. always nice to get good feedback The gusets between the a piler are just flat steel with holesaw holes all the way up it The wheels are from a local company in Aus called performance wheels. They are a copy of the globe wheels and are 16 x 10. Ash

Few more pics showing the body kit Ash

Hi Tom The old motor went to my other car Also its winter In Australia so I need to get it finished asap as we are int the middle of our race season. Ash

This is before I finished the front but you get the idea

HI all just thought id post a progress shot of my zed racecar. Ash

Thanks again for a great pic Hopfully I will get some time to make the body kit later this year. Ash

Yer alot of people didnt get what I was asking for but you got it spot on Cannot wait to see the rear shot. I think with ruunning the car it will take a while for me to get the kit finished buthopfullly I will get the car track tested soon with the old ody kit on it and then start on the new one. Thanks again Ash

Yes Yes yes Thats what im after drftn280zxt that looks pretty much spot on anyways I am going to put a mild kit on just for testing and build the more gt style kit after I get the car running propertly here are some pics of it in its current state Ash

Hi Drftn280zxt the car is a full race car. Its running a rb25det, 16x 10 slicks, 8 point weld in cage etc Yes I want to run the full areo you mentioned, wide body (the wheels are about 2 inches or more wider than original guards) gt wing etc etc as you mentioned. I have currently fitted some wide flairs to tie me over as I want to start testing the car (engine etc). Nismo styling would be great as I love the 35oz gt car aswell as the new gtr GT racecar aswell Would really appreciate any help Thanks Ash

not a prob lunar as I said i cannot draw to save myself so anytime you get a chance would be great thx Ash

Yer thats on the right track lunar:) Thanks Ash

Could you please scan and post it for me as Im in Aus and we dont get that magazine Thanks Ash

What you mean by vague mario??? I am building a 240z race car and I want to build a Body kit in the style of a super gt car http://supergt.net/en/ The one pictured above is kind of what im after. Would prefer g-nose style front to give smaller frontal area? Anyway as I said any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ash

Thanks guys cannot wait to see the pics Ash

Hi All I have been watching the bodykit thread for some time and need some help from some who can draw. I am currently building a new body kit for my racecar and want to do a Japan super GT style bodykit for my zed. I am good at building things but cannot draw to save myself so was wondering if anyone could draw up a 240z styled like a Super gt style racecar? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ash
