Well folks, Spotted this on gumtree and spoke to him this morning. It needs 2 doors, roof skin, boot and bonnet and obviously alot of panel beating. Car is running! 3.5 v6 Manual. It was classed as write off already. It has also been vrt'd. I think it has potential anyways and would love to be able to undertake such a project! Hope someone here buys it!

that looks unreal!
would the box and engine be 100%???
cage
over fenders
1 light
few windows
and you got a VQ35 350z ready for track!!

by the time you replaced the body and get a decent drift set up you looking at just over over 3k.
a 350z is still selling for about 15-18k. serious saving there

get some half decent body bits,
and suspension set up for cheap,
sorted, track car all the way!
then one would be ready for some torque filled fun!

theres a 313bhp v6 in it with plenty of torque, so id say that will do for the time being.if that breaks we'll put an rb 25 into it.

Jesus wouldnt you think he could straighten it himself so would have made money on it. cant place him or the Red 350.

i like your style.

i mean prety shit for a guy that doesnt have 100k under his belt

Parts are rediculously expensive,VQ engine-risky,most people run the sr or rb's in them from what iv seen i supose that would save £, making it appealing would certainly be an issue! £££ and thesame ££ on shipping it in!.i see it as being a waste mostly down to lack parts available around here and the amount of money youd WASTE on it rather than have somthing amazing that drifts easier and better! mondello can hardly handle carpos s15. i say mondello because it ireland fastest track and carpos s15 because it the biggest pro car here competeing.

edit-what a waste this thread is a year old. fml.

who ever said it was going to be anything special,
its going to be a tramp, and as for the vq, it will stay in it till it blows,
then it will get an rb or something along those lines.
as for carpos yoke, this thing will never see prodrift.
it will be lucky to even see mondello
