We recently acquired a hunk of junk Nissan 350z with intentions of quickly converting it to a reliable and fun "seat time" drift car. This is the first time we have had our hands on this popular drifting chassis and learned a lot of how Nissan improved the mechanical concepts of things on this Z-chassis compared to our past experience with the S-chassis. After all was said and done, the car turned out fantastically and we felt compelled to share our recipe with the world. If you're interested in one of these cars, or maybe already have one, the below list of parts are exactly what you need to be ensure the car is dependable and willing to take a beating over and over again. We'd rather do the work and invest on the front end so once we pull up to the track, there's only fun to be had and our time there isn't wasted on unnecessary repairs. So snag some of these goodies to make sure you're in the same seat as us!
