THE CAR

My car, as mentioned in the "About Us" page, is built on a 1995 Nissan 240SX chassis. However from there, the car takes on some serious modifications.

​

CHASSIS

The chassis was stripped and stitch welded. I

then fabricated a tube front end from the strut

towers forward with type U body custom front

bumper. We extended the tube frame to the

rear section with rear over fenders and added

an 8 point roll cage. Then modified the transmission tunnel to fit the transmission.

​

HORSEPOWER

The power plant started life as a GM 6.0

liter V8 turbo LS that was de-stroked to

335 cubic inches. She's fully balanced

and blueprinted. The engine was built by

Matt Stuart at Redline Performance in

Hallowell, Maine. Matt used a Stage 4

camshaft, Eagle Rods with Wiseco

custom pistons. Matt topped things off

with a Holley Electronic Fuel Injection, with 66 lb. injectors, a 78mm Turbo and 31"x12"x 4" inter-cooler all fed by a Holley fuel pump.

​

GET THE POWER TO THE PAVEMENT

With all that horsepower on tap, the engine is coupled to a Rankin 4 speed Dog Box transmission and a Quarter Masters 7.25 twin disk clutch and custom driveshaft.

The rear end ratio depends on the event with

a 4.08 to 4.90 gear ratio.

​

​

THE BOTTOM LINE

Drifting needs an awesome amount of power to keep the rear wheels spinning at very high revs. Thanks to Matt Stuart, and my other sponsors, my Nissan is one heck of a Drifting Machine.
