Today we wrenched on Project 350z again and installed a BRIDE Low Max VIOS III seat. The guys at YoParts.com hooked us up with this seat for the Nissan project. They are an automotive industry wholesaler and are currently giving away a Nissan GT-R to one of its lucky members. We spent the whole day at LS Auto x Chris Forsberg Racing getting the car ready for the 2010 marked completion date.

The XS Power battery was installed last week at LS Auto in place of the stock heavy battery. We ended up mounting the XS Power battery in the same location as the stock one by personal choice alone for our project. You can mount the battery anywhere you would like in the vehicle. To find out how easy this installation was on our Project Nissan 350z check out our Project 350z blog.

Our Project Nissan 350z has been coming together before our very eyes. We installed our Vortech supercharger kit which came with everything from fuel management to a charge cooler. With the help of LS Auto/Chris Forsberg Racing we got the supercharger kit on without any troubles. The audible level of the kit is fantastic under some aggressive driving that you just cannot get enough of. We have an installation write up in our Project 350z blog.

Daijiro Yoshihara had this car out at time attack for Super Lap Battle this past week and his 350z Vert is looking good. The 350z was originally a SEMA build car by GT Channel and they have since allowed Daijiro Yoshihara to take over the car and have some fun in it. Check out his personal blog for more updates on this gorgeous 350z.

You can find the start of our Project 350z in the next issue of Wrecked Magazine coming out tomorrow. With our Vortech supercharger going on we wanted to make sure we could keep engine temperatures down. We have a bulletproof engine setup going into this car and this is just phase two.

For the last few months we have been stockpiling parts to our Project Nissan 350z and last last night we felt like it was finally time to get our hands dirty. Our living room couldn’t take much more random parts so we visited LS Auto/Chris Forsberg Racing for a late night installation. The Injen Exhaust was as painless of an installation as they come. The Injen exhaust eliminated some weight, added some great sound, and made the car look so much better from the rear end. If you want to check up on our Project Nissan 350z or read about the exhaust installation in detail you can visit the official Project 350z blog.
