oh, you should have bought my old set if that was the case. Cool though should be another good set out there on our cars

I not going with a mesh face, and remember Im doing a double stag setup not 18s all arounds, as well as 18x12-1 is way to aggressive for what my car will be set up for lol.. You pull that off very well that added with the fact 2+2s have more space in the wheel wells then 2+0s do, I'd have to run nearly -6 just to get the wheels to fit under my car especailly with me being a turbo and having less room from hub to fender than a NA. I really am loving the resivior as lower coolant pipe mod...

I can't help to think how good of an engineer you are, by how detailed you've been with modding this z32

Always great work Vicent, hard work and dedication to builds like this are what give me the motivation to one day meet their level. Thanks for the recommnendation on the VIP MODS hit up tong and should have things moving along May 1st. Can't wait to see what you come up next.

the VIP modulars are officially up for sale as most of you know. Lets see these things go to a good new home soon so i can finally get going on the new wheel/surrounding hardware project.

the temp wheels are already in process, but I will not start the final set for the car till these have gone.

haha thanks guys.

quick update of some stuff from last week. This weekend will be spent putting most of it back together.
just figured i would post up the lower radiator support that i welded shut and shaved. Decided on shooting it with matte black because that way you wouldnt see the red through the front fascia grill. little detail that pissed me off to no end, so that needed to be dealt with



fluid(s) tank all mounted in its home. will be completely invisible when everything goes back

Seriously. I don't feel worthy of even looking at your work sometimes Vince

Youre just on another level

You keep making this better and simplifying your harness lol next thing you know your car will be on a wireless harness haha

So... lots of work has taken place over the past 2 or so weeks, and things are starting to go back together while other things are coming apart. Bay is almost complete. Only thing left is the wiring harness to be finished up, and ss brake lines being run out of the bay. they are going inside the car so you dont see them, but in order for me to do that, dash needs to come back out.. in order for dash to come out, wheels all need to sell and ship out, so i can make room for the interior to come out piece by piece again.

pics of the bay to come later this week. I just completed welding and shaving the lower radiator support, powdercoated all of the tanks and misc parts, smoothed and painted the lower rad support so thats at least all done, and now to hook everything back up.

upper rad support needs to be shaved still, but that will happen in a few days time when i get the car back on the ground and over to the paint booth.

for now, this has already been mounted and the -AN lines have been connected, but here are finished pictures of the custom fluid tank for the car. more pictures to come once i get some time.






The wiring harness project is coming along too. Lots of things have changed and its getting simpler and simpler. really complex to figure out, but really simple looking when its done. Latest update is that I am going to be moving over to some more german parts on my japanese car... Some german things just function better then japanese parts sometimes, so more info to come on that.

Looks promising In for more ...

lots of work done this weekend on lots of fronts. built some wheels, worked some more on other sets, a little wiring, and a little powdercoat. Then got in a little go karting with the buddies, and some drinks and craziness after as usual.

the fluid tank and coolant hardpipes now have some fresh powder, and the tank is mounted up and fits ridiculously well. i will get some pictures of the installed tank tomorrow. just about the only thing installed as I removed everything else off the front end for the work ive been doing. haha

for now, here is a quick pic or two of the lower hard pipe

[1badg35]

yeah, ill randomly post up some pictures on the blog like i do every so often between wheel builds..

Back to the build. Went to the shop last night, and my AN fittings came in for most of the parts. So now i can spend the time sunday and finish most of that work up.

then onto the wiring and some more smoothing of the bay.... Not kidding, spoke to my buddy who owns the paintshop and it will be going in for a little paint in a few weeks. Just a small part of the bay that needs to be perfected to match the rest.

Brake hardline inside car work also needs to happen. That will likely happen next week once I rip the entire interior out again.. not looking forward to that mostly because im not sure where to put all of the parts.

things are coming along though, winter build is moving along nicely.
