SOHO Motorsports Drift 350Z Driven By Wade Smith


Apr 04, 2012

   SOHO Motorsports newest driver is Pro Am drifter Wade Smith from our backyard in Charlotte, NC. He has a 2003 Nissan 350Z with the exact same Momentum Turbo kit that our Time Attack G35 has. We began sponsoring Wade this week and brought in his car Friday night to put a proper tune to maximiize the Garret turbo and keep the engine safe for high rev drifting sessions. After a few pulls on the CES Motorsport dyno and Nik's tuning skills the Turbo Nissan 350Z made 384hp and 401tq on 7psi and 93 octane. With a proper tune and an eager driver the Z was ready for the abuse it would see the next morning. Wade absolutelty killed it on every single one of his runs and was easily one of the best drivers on the track at the Streetwise Drift "Kiss The Walls" event at Concord Motorsports Park. Lap after lap Wade put down solid laps with great angle and tons of smoke. Check out the photos from the day in the photo gallery along with the video linked below. And be sure too keep checking back for more updates on Wade and the SOHO Motorsports Drift 350Z!

PROJECT: G35 Brake Upgrade Part III
STATUS: Completed
After months of chasing brake system demons and multiple on track failures, we finally seem to have solved all of the bugs and understand why the problems were occurring in the first place. Before I elaborate on how great the new setup is, I would like to take a moment and talk about the problems we were seeing that many of you may also see on similar applications. As you know our 2005 G35 is a completely built and turbo charged VQ35DE-Rev Up, and on these cars the brake booster uses vacuum from the engine to help braking efficiency in day to day driving. This booster uses driver input from the pedal and increasingly applies pressure to the caliper whether you change the brake input or not, almost like a pre abs system but with a tapered increase of pressure rather than a repetitive jab, l...  Read More »
