So at last the chassis has been sent in for blasting and primer! Havnt been able to do much as work has been keeping me very busy and ofcourse me being in JHB since July and now in Durban untill end of the year.

I have found some stock S14 discs and calipers (front and rear) that will be put on the car, should be getting them with in the next few days. Will be using upgraded S14 discs (same size, just better materials) and some proper race pads and fluid.

Will add some pics when the car is back from sandblasting.

260Z had too many structual repairs done in the past and I felt it was unsafe to use as a race car. Would have had too cut the car into pieces and import replacement parts.
