Hey guys my name is Hayden, Ive been super busy but have been meaning to post this build up on here. Last year I totaled my green 240 at XDC New Jersey. Right before qualifying I went to burn in a new set and check some changes and I ended up backing into the wall on the bank. the rear quarter caved onto the wheel and the cage and frame twisted. The car lasted for 4 years and I had a blast.
For the 2011 season i have acquired an 03 350z track edition. The chassis will be fully stripped down and then rebuilt.
I played around with it at streetwise in December and had a blast, I cant wait to see how the car feels with almost triple the horsepower and properly set up.
My friends and I prepped the z for sodablasting.
Since soda blasting, Autosport Dynamics has begun transforming my 350z from a local drift event beater into a first class burnout machine for XDC and the Streetwise Drift Pro-Am series. Thankfully, Falken’s contract with ASD only restricts them from building a competitor’s Formula Drift Pro car.
Jesse Wisner, an ASD fabricator who isn’t involved with the Falken Drift Program, has been hard at work prepping the car. This will be the 3rd 350z built by ASD, not counting the rebuild on Tyler’s retired pro car for ASD mechanic Steve Sokol.
Jesse has over 80 feet of tubing in the car and is tig welding the cage as well as other components. He is new to drifting, but obviously not new to welding and fabrication; he has been involved in building race cars for many years. Here is his fabrication work on the steering shaft and Wilwood pedal mount.
The cage is complete and only a few more components are left to fabricate before the car heads to paint. Dave from ASD approves!
I originally planned to swap a basic LS1 set up in the car, but I was given an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. ASD has taken on the task of fitting a Dodge Nationwide engine into the Z. The engine has been converted to electronic fuel injection managed by a Haltech P2000 from ASD and tuned by Six Sigma Dyno Services.
Here is a pic of the subrame with the winters quickchange and ASD solid mounts in it. I will get a pic of it fully together with the arms and Driveshaft shop axels installed.

The car is way further along and I will be posting a ton more pics in the next few days covering the build.
