Glad to finally see UK car builds finally. So shocked to see Carl in the video a very nice and knowledgable guy to assist you. Keep up the amazing work.
Awesome seat choice Chris! I have the same in my E30 drift car and I love them. The funny thing is I wasn't a big Sparco fan but I love them. Quality and the natural feel got me, now I think I will probably only use Sparco seats if I want to buy race seats! :) Also I have a quick advice don't use any race harness until you have a roll cage cause if you roll with a car the harnesses will hold you in place and the roof could hit you. Plus only use 5 or more point harnesses cause with a 4 point you could have the antisubmarining affect. I know there are race harnesses that are 4 point that won't antisubmarine but I don't thrust them. These were only my advices soo if you don't want to take them I'm totally ok with that just thought I would give my advices about this stuff! :)
Thanks for the answer! Thankfully my friend helped me with it soo it's almost done hopefully this wednesday Me and my friend can test it and if it's alright I can start using it and start pushing it and see how well it will hold up! :D Good luck with your drift projects Chris! :)
I'd say for smooth predictable low speed skids the 86, but for faster drifts the 350 is probably better just cos of the extra power. But I've not done a drift day in it yet so I guess I can't give a good opinion really
I think it was an extra 0.5 litres that had to be put in when the oil cooler was installed. But no the oil doesn't come out when you do an oil change, unless you take the cooler off and drain it
If you don't mind me asking, what rent are you paying on that unit? I've been looking at renting one recently, and am just curious what sort of money a unit of that quality would be. Cheers for the video!
Haha Sean said the same. I guess I just have the luxury of more spare time and spare cash than most people, plus I'm impatient and want to do everything as soon as possible lol
ChrisDrift alright mate, nice zed, iv just got one myself, had it for 4 weeks now, you say in the video you were throwing all the interior away.... any chance I could have some of it??? Or buy some of it??? Lol seems a shame to throw it away if that's what your doing. Cheers Rob
ChrisDrift wish I had known I could have scored you a discount on the seats and the harnesses, was going to email Si but I thought you would be weeks away from needing them. I have a small sponsorship deal with a seat company.... can get them at trade. But only a couple of sets a season. get Si to email me if I can help.
working for someone else it probably doesn't pay that amazingly, but I started my own business so I get all of the profit and have very little expenses as it's mostly just my time that I've put into it.
dont get all the stock parts to the bin just sell them and get more money to parts but if you dont care can i get some of them and ill pay for shipping ?D:
No it's not lol watch mishimoto's own install video on youtube and they put it on this way up. Plus it wouldn't even sit in the mounting bracket if you put it the other way up
ChrisDrift yea i thought the same thing. I installed it this way too and couldn't figure out why the M was upside down. That video they have was before they updated the design. Couldnt see it doing any harm wether its upside down or not but figured id let you know. Google 350z mishimoto oil cooler images

Haha yeah carl is a good lad 👍how do you know him?
ChrisDrift. Used to live in the same town. Shared same interest in breaking and fixing cars. Mention my name when you next see him.
Haha, a pretty mad night, love the outro, glad some of the jobs got finished in the end
Nice video man, it's really awesome seeing everyone working on the cars thumbs up
Skinny Bald Yoda! Good on ya!
That looked like it was a lot of fun :D Really exited to see the car in action when its done.
Was a good night, look forward to more updates. The lift will make a massive difference.
cheers for the help!
No worries. Its kinda made me want to get something to strip out and rag about.
do it ;)
Bad influence lol
Nice video Chris! Really enjoyed this one. Keep it up :)
Yeah finally a 350z video

ah nice, how are you getting on with drifting the E30? I've ordered 4 point harnesses but with anti submarining, so hopefully they'll be ok
Thanks for the answer! Thankfully my friend helped me with it soo it's almost done hopefully this wednesday Me and my friend can test it and if it's alright I can start using it and start pushing it and see how well it will hold up! :D Good luck with your drift projects Chris! :)
What is the seat model & where can I buy similar with the correct seat mounts? ;-)
Hopefully a detailed video on the wiring of the oil temp sensor/gauge (gotta do my still :D)
Good video 👍👍 Don't forget to do dual caliper and hydro e-brake for the z please. we all need to learn. thanks
nice vid
GREAT VIDEOS! Subbed
When he drops the airbag ahahaha
Slip Wheel TV I would've helped but I had my fingers in my ears haha
without fi on the two cars gt86 and 350z, with basic mods (coils, exhaust seats cage etc) which would be a better drift car and why?
I'd say for smooth predictable low speed skids the 86, but for faster drifts the 350 is probably better just cos of the extra power. But I've not done a drift day in it yet so I guess I can't give a good opinion really
nice... I took my radiator out with only some Leatherman guess the vq are harder
maybe I just made it harder than it should have been haha
thatvirtualriot in the back ground
since you have oil cooler how much oil u need put and when you do your oil change does all oil come out oil cooler and lines
I think it was an extra 0.5 litres that had to be put in when the oil cooler was installed. But no the oil doesn't come out when you do an oil change, unless you take the cooler off and drain it
If you don't mind me asking, what rent are you paying on that unit? I've been looking at renting one recently, and am just curious what sort of money a unit of that quality would be. Cheers for the video!
it'll vary a lot depending on your location and the size and quality of the unit etc etc, but this place is about 600 quid a month to rent
You basically doing what i have done plus more in 5 years but your doing it in about 5 days lol
Haha Sean said the same. I guess I just have the luxury of more spare time and spare cash than most people, plus I'm impatient and want to do everything as soon as possible lol

struggling with my harness mounts...
I haven't got that far yet lol harnesses are on their way
ChrisDrift wish I had known I could have scored you a discount on the seats and the harnesses, was going to email Si but I thought you would be weeks away from needing them. I have a small sponsorship deal with a seat company.... can get them at trade. But only a couple of sets a season. get Si to email me if I can help.
ChrisDrift I am struggling to mount as I have a fuel tank in the way.
Holy shit, what do you do for a living? if i may ask.
I write computer software for IT admins
oh wow, would never expect it to pay so well. it's probably hard work!
working for someone else it probably doesn't pay that amazingly, but I started my own business so I get all of the profit and have very little expenses as it's mostly just my time that I've put into it.
What year is this 350z?
2003
I hope you haven't binned all those parts. Good easy money to be made with that! Post up on the forum with a list of what you have for sale?
yeah they're still just sat there at the moment
"How many guys does it take to remove an airbag" 😂
Mr BW too many
dont get all the stock parts to the bin just sell them and get more money to parts but if you dont care can i get some of them and ill pay for shipping ?D:
you went for Mishimoto oil cooler? :S
I'm about to swap mine out of my supercharged 350z - their stuff is not great quality. You may be ok with n/a
I've always been happy with their stuff and never seen anyone else complain
Oil cooler is upside down dude
No it's not lol watch mishimoto's own install video on youtube and they put it on this way up. Plus it wouldn't even sit in the mounting bracket if you put it the other way up
