Hi guys
Thought id post a project thread up after having several Nissan drift cars over the years as below..... and a few e46 m3 fast road/ track cars i thought id go about building an E46 m3 with a JZ power plant. This idea soon came to end when i found a car ready to use in Ireland , I'm more interested in driving a car than building one so this was the perfect option for me.
I will try to document any improvements made to the car and photo's of practice days and competitions.
Plans for the car are to improve the styling to try and make it look as cool as possible , Complete head back exhaust system from APW engineering aka Andrew ward whilst retaining the Owen developments GTX35R followed by a fresh map from MB-automotive. Then go on to practice as much as possible and compete in drift outlaws , drift cup and hopefully onto BDC.
Current Spec :
Engine
2jzgte non vvti :
Refreshed with HKS head gasket , arp hardware throughout , Acl bearings etc
Stock cams , pistons and rods
Owen developments GTX35R , tial 44mm gate
1000cc injector dynamics injectors

Haltech Platinum 2000 ecu with custom loom and digital dash
4 inch intercooler core with custom boost pipes
Rear mounted radiator with aftermarket fan
Drivetrain
Supra 6 Speed getrag Box (v160)

Front :e46 Hsd Monopro's
Rear : s13 JIC coilovers
Both rear arms adjustable
R32 rear calipers and discs
Stock M3 Front brakes

IRP lock kit with extended lca's
Chassis
