Drift Car Progress! (4K)

- We are finally back with another update on the G35 that we purchased at the end of last year to be our drift build. Starting the new year we are excited to announce that Lordco Auto Parts has come on board as a channel sponsor for us and this means that we should be better equipped than ever to dive deeper into the cars we are building. We put together a shopping list for the G35 and headed over to Lordco to get what we needed to start moving the needle on our drift car.
We started by having Milo implement some of his fabrication magic and build us seat brackets and risers for the driver's seat as well as a fully custom exhaust using some materials we scored at Lordco along with new O2 sensors, a Flowmaster muffler and a long Vibrant resonator. Unfortunately even with 24” of muffler and 18” of resonator, the de-catted VQ has proven to be freakishly loud and we are going to need another muffler to hopefully cut down on the unnecessary volume. Milo did an awesome job with this exhaust though and every inch of it sits higher than the frame rails. He even built us some custom tips in a similar, but larger, style as the exhaust tips he has been building for our Kaido Racers.
After the exhaust was done we jumped into installing the SerialNine vertical lift hydraulic ebrake and decided it would be coolest if we were able to fit it in the factory emergency brake location. With a bit of finesse, we managed to get it to work in that spot and we’re stoked on having a good hydro with a stealth install.
To amp up the aesthetics of the car a bit we managed to score painted side skirts and rear bumper extensions from our friend’s parts car. These look way better than the faded black plastic ones that our car came with and really help show how low the car is. Lastly, for a visually striking presence, we turned to SFP Aero and their sleek tail light covers to inject an aggressive and stylish flair, setting our G35 apart from what we’re used to seeing done with this platform.
Dylan managed to win a bid on a bunch of awesome VHS tapes from Japan and in a rush of inspiration he recruited Sandra, Jake, Karly and some friends to come by the shop and frame a bunch of old magazine spreads of different Kaido Racers and get them put up on the walls.
We hope you enjoyed this update!

It’s never going to be the coolest car of all time, but the least we can do is try our best to make it not suck!
gotta do a m35 stagea front end swap and it'll be the coolest car of all time
I feel like it’s so hard to make a g35 look cool but you guys should be able to make it happen! That seagull though 😂😂
モッサリしたG35のデザインが生まれ変わりましたね。日産のデザイナーはこのビデオを良く見るべき。
ありがとう❤
As a fellow canadian and manual g35 sedan owner, your videos on this platform is very helpful 🙏🏾
Glad they’ve been helpful!
daaam the tailight covers makes me want a G35 even more now.
Nelson isn’t wrong about everything he said. However, it is his fault he missed 3rd 😂
I honestly love g35s lol. I think the design language is excellent for both the sedan and coupe (though i prefer the understated look of the sedan). The proportions are just perfect. 300hp manual is all you need.
It sucks how uncool they are right now. I kind of want to buy one while the prices are bottomed out since i know in 10 years everyone will want one and theyll be cool again.
Bird shid drone strike
Bird tried to take a shit on yee in the name of the G for talking bad about the homie Z sedan ahhaha
Even the birds know whats up. just leave it muffled and everything else is good to go.
been feeling like absolute shit past days, but thanks to checkpoint posting, i feel fine now 😌 luv u guys
Glad that you enjoyed the video! Hopefully you're feeling better
AINT NO WAY THEY GOT THE LORDCO HAMBURGER SPOT SPONSORSHIP LESSS GOOOO
Cool video! Nice to see the progress on the g35 (even though it sounds horrible :D )! I saw a g35 with a s14 front end swap on the Driftgames channel. Looked sick! Maybe an option for the future? Cheers!
The handbrake in the oem spacing is sweet! Just bought myself a g drift build!
You guys’s channel is dope and my favorite one right now. I got a 05 g35 6mt that I’m also building. I wanted to ask the rear light covers ? Could you guys point me in the direction to where I can also get them ? They are dope 🤙
Let’s go!

Always a good day when checkpoint japan uploads a video!
Glad that you enjoyed the video!
very good! 😎🚘 cool
Thank you~
"IT WAS -54 DEG" HAHAHA
dude it was bad 😂
I come from BMW's e36 (2) e46 sedan 330i and a e90 330i 6 speed manual. BOTH e36/46 need massive rear end structural support. and the e90 has 5 arms in the rear. You guys are hating on a car that is actually really good base for drifting. I sold both my e36 328i coupe and e90 330i and bought a de cd09 swapped 06 g35 coupe and lemme tell you for my purposes not really missing the dog shit interior and weak ass body. The e90 was way better but still 3sim dual disas to worry about being inhaled and killing an engine. I'm done with BMW for awhile. This car has a welded diff I daily it is in mint condition and the only thing that sucks is the seat. Aside from that its a very daiyable car and capable. I also had a sr20 swapped zenki with a kazz 1.5 sold that during covid. Fuckin coke can rattle trap with tax and no ac. G is legit.
Lets get us a angle kit on that bad girl..? Maybe some adjustable sway bar front & rear w/ adjustable endlinks?? Idk idk just saying😶🌫️🤣 also hai from AZ
Siiiickkkkk❤❤❤

What are the taillight covers called cuz I tried finding them but all I can find is tints
Lonza Taillight covers!
Pretty rare but come up on auction once in a while.
These videos are really well done. I wonder what intro temlae you are using. It looks like the old Panavision cinemascope vibes. Love this!
