We still have to post our installs on a few parts including the Brian Crower Cams and Origin body kit but that is all coming on the blog very soon! It also will be out in the next Wrecked Magazine issues. With all that being said the car has appeared in flat white with our Origin kit. Check out where it showed up.
We sell DSTROYR clothing in our Wrecked Magazine Store so we got together on how to do a promotion before the 350z went in for it’s final wrap job. This was quite the burnout on our Falken FK452 tires! More fun coming from the Project Nissan 350z very very soon!
For today’s installation we are going to put on a NRG Steering Wheel 320mm Sport Suede Oval wheel with the flat bottom. Step One is removing your stock steering wheel from the steering column.
Once you have removed the OEM factory steering wheel you will need a NRG steering wheel hub that is made for your specific vehicle application.
Once the wheel is mounted onto your hub it will look like this from above. The quick release system they provide is super simple to use and will help you get out of your car so much easier with the racing seat.
Here is the wheel sitting properly replacing the OEM factory steering wheel. The steering wheel is real suede and has a great gripped section for perfect handling and control compared to the bigger 350z wheel that comes factory. We also shredded some weight by removing all the electronics in the steering wheel and airbag.
Issue 14 came out today and inside features a huge piece on the Project 350z. Over 10 full spreads show the KW Suspension install at the Rancho Cucamonga UTI campus. To complete the story it features our 20 inch HRE 540R wheels which we wrapped in Falken FK452 tires. Only three issues left and Project 350z will be completed. So make sure you check out Project 350z while it is still featured in the magazine!Let us know what you think of the new stance and our big burnout!
Jon Chase is the owner of DSTROYR clothing and he has this great 1967 Chevy Nova next to our Project Nissan 350z. He made a post on the DSTROYR blog Saturday At DSTROYR HQ which features some photos of our Project 350z!He makes some great clothing you should definitely check out.
Just before the weekend we got a great gift in the mail from one of our new partners Status Racing. They are racing harnesses for Project 350z. We selected a 5 point black/black harness which will look great with our car. Most importantly the harness is FIA compliant making them a great race belt option.
We rolled the Nissan 350z out for the first time at the UTI Open House in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The open house was hosted in conjunction with Monster Jam.
Although we are a tad behind on tech articles here is a shot of our wheels, tires and brakes that are coming soon with tech articles. All four wheels are running Performance Friction Brakes for excellent stopping power. The wheels are HRE 540R’s that are 20×10.5 in the front and 20×13 in the rear. We mounted 245/35/20′s on the front and 305/30/20 Falken FK452′s on the rear to complete the wheel/tire combo on the Project 350z.
Here are some students and teachers checking out and talking about our engine setup which includes Brian Crower cams, a Koyo radiator, and the Vortech supercharger.
Monster Jam is also in town this weekend so they brought out Grave Digger. I deemed our car was Mini Digger since we have a similar purple/green setup. Personally I am a fan of Maximum Destruction in Monster Jam who defeated Grave Digger taking home the double down in Atlanta last week.
Riley ,who is a local drifter in the Inland Empire, showed up for the Adams Motorsports Park booth and we were stoked to see he is still representing Wrecked Magazine on the tail light of his S13, nice work sir!
A hood swap is a very simple task that you can do in your home. The hood in the 350z is secured by four bolts which you can take off with some basic tools.
Here is what the bolt will look like that yo take off to dismount the hood. We suggest once the hood is removed you take these bolts and screw them back onto the hood so you don’t lose them like we did. The Seibon hood comes with it’s own hardware so you can leave the OEM pieces with the OEM hood.
The hood goes on with four bolts and fits with ease. We ended up removing our mesh grill since it was getting a little too close to our Vortech supercharger belt and we liked the open look to the hood.
Here is the final setup on our flat carbon fiber hood. The Origin body kit and wheels are about to come and really complete the exterior look to this great Nissan 350z. Thanks to the guys at Seibon Carbon for this great product.
