Thought i might as well get a thread going on here for your enjoyment... Copied from retro rides cause i cba to retype all of it so some bits might not make sense.
Originally bought it for a bit of a laugh but I absolutely love the thing! its so nice to drive, got a lovely grunty 3.0 V6 that sounds the nuts, awesome interior and plenty of electrical gadgets and wizardry for the time. Shes a big old bus and I'm gonna try my hand at skidding it to be different(hence the different back wheels..oh and welded diff )
Took it down 100mm at the rear and its still finding its feet at the front, currently 2 coils off but thinking I'm gonna need to take another half coil off to get it sitting a bit better.
Plans: Considering the 300zx uses the same engine but with a turbo I'm really considering doing that conversion as it would be pretty straight forward and make a cool upgrade
Biggest plan is to try not to sell it as anybody on here who knows me knows I have a REALLY bad habbit of not keeping cars for very long. Ive been driving since january 2007 and all ready had over 100 cars on the road. I'm obviously looking for something but havent found it yet haha.

With the back being that low it looked the nuts but with the poo shocks and the axle being way too far off the springs it was absolutely poo to drive and even worse to skid it really handled like crap. So put some 2" lowering blocks on and ditched the dodgy box section i had lowered it with. Front still rolling cut springs as ive been spending too much money on my daily and other things. Will convert the fronts to coilies after winter now probably.

Went on a skid day at norfolk arena. Organised on driftworks and had an awesome time. Managed to break an engine mount but didnt care and carried on giving it poo all day!

they are licensed cragar SS copies. Chromed steels, proper american coooool. Chrome will probably end up flaking off in no time so they will go satin black when it does.

Got some more lock out of it. Shortened the lock stops to just before it hits the inner wing. Got to move some fuel and brake lines, beat the poo out of the inner wing and should get some more. Made a huge difference to the way it skids!
