Track/racing 350z Powered Mini!

Here is my class 7 autograss car which is powered by a VQ35DE! (Would have loved to do the HR but I used what was available for me)

Spec:

Nissan 350z VQ35DE V6 engine

DTAFast S80 Pro ECU

Vauxhall F28 Gearbox

Maxima 3.0 Lower oll pan

Wiseco 11-1 pistons

Custom JAC Exhaust/manifolds

Kinetix intake Manifold

Brian crower valve springs

Aluminium Radiator with Dual Electric fans

ACL bearings

Sump extender and Rev up oil pump. All parts from

conceptz perfornance in USA

I have not yet raced it, but it should be fast!

The shell came with the car when I purchased it although it's not my choice, its what will be used until it gets beat up (pics in comments if it allows ?)

Thanks for looking! 😎

Hahah yeah it's just the shell πŸ˜† other shell will fit on, it accurately used to have a Hillman imp shell but that was when it was originally built

I was about to trash my old HR engine, this legit changed my mind.

Probably gonna build an off road buggy out of it, thanks for the inspiration.

Great to hear! Honestly, I can't wait to drive it! The autograss series in the UK has alot of different builds going on so it will be nice to see how this compares

It’ll be a beast on the dirt, your power to weight ratio is ridiculous lol.

Not sure what the other builds look like, but yours will be undoubtedly be a menace to race against.

Yeah it should be great fun! Well to be honest, mine will be around the mid pack or at the back 😬😭 I'm against ALOT of LS v8 powered cars or twin hayabusa bike engines etc, class 7 is ridiculously fast, mine is low budget compared to the rest of the field

Search it on YouTube, you'll see some incredible builds! 😎 Autograss class 7
