He would know better then anyone being the owner. The question is whether he really wants people to know how much its cost. I know when I dream up muy ultimate Exige etc

Gearbox 35k + setup and clutches and paddle shift...so more like 50k

Engine 30k

Suspension and brakes 20k

Diffs and wheels/tyres - 10k

Data Logging and electronics - 20k

The good gear means the cost goes through the roof very quick

all teh fancy dry carbon and molds would be worth a bomb

Yeh, some numbers I heard for a carbon rear diffuser and bar was 20-30K not including the plug. So there would be loads of hours in the plug to make that a pretty scary number for about a 1/4 of the cars aero

Either way...they built a weapon of a car and its his money so good luck to him. I know if I had the same opportunity I would build my car for me and probably wouldnt let on what it cost. But from what I had read he has been very open about the build process so good on him. I have changed my tune :whistling:

I thought the golden rule was to never add up what we spend on modifications !

Being able to build the car of your dreams without concern for the cost is a pretty cool place to be. Got to respect the passion to chase the dream.

Only 250k?

Cummmon.... 2 or was it 3 engines down before racing even started has gotta give you a nice starter :P

They only blew one engine there big dollar overseas built engine

The engine they ran was actually bought from chasers motor works which was their spare

Serious it was a Chasers engine? I thought I read somewhere that it was a Nitto stroker kit which was assembled by JHH including all the head work

Was in the garage next to chasers and one of them let it slip when nemo blitzd a time

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
