I like this, it's not one of the matte painted ratty looking ones! I love the gold wheels btw!

I appreciate the kind words my friend, I loved the 15's, the gold mesh went so well with the style I was trying to portray

^^Stoked. I know the feeling of getting it DONE and being extatic about it.
Good to see that there is more build thread to be written.

Definitely! I don't think this build is ever goin to be quite done, unless she rusts away to nothing lol. But I have big plans, with engine mods if this sr ever takes a shit on me

Panasports are sick.
Gotta lower it. 240 guys set the standard for hammeredness, and with 40 series tires and stock body, it's gotta be lower.
Not to undermine what you've already done, good progress.

yeah man, I understand 100 percent, this was seriously a half hour after we got everything on, I worked for 2 days straight, got 3 hours of sleep to get those wheels on, shit loads of adjustments, and shit loads of fender roll and lots of beer. I have a good bit of fine tuning, and some body work as well as paint on the way! but thank you none the less bud!

So I finally have an update, after months. The previous wheels I posted, the g7s got tires and were put on. I got Yokohoma S Drives, in a 205/45/17 back and 195/45/17 in the front, for maximum stretch. I also ordered Megan Racing rear upper control arms, and some other odds and ends for suspension.

I had problems with the coilovers not going low enough due to me being a complete dumbass and not preloading them. So basically all I did was lower the springs making it ride rough as all hell. So with the help of a good friend of mine, Mike Snow, whos a Nissan genius, we messed with the suspension, ground down my lugs, got the adapters to fit (adaptec from 4x114.3 to 5x114.3) and threw the wheels on.

here's the control arm jazz





the pictures were not really the best due to the fact of working a 1uz swap into a 240sx and this all at the same time, I wasn't too concerned with photography, which I regret now lol



And here is the said adapters, which are super quality made, well worth the money


Sitting on all 4 finally, after 2 days of straight wrenching


and now the final product




well thats it for now, just a few minor changes to come. if anyone is interested in anything else about the car, or want pictures, let me know, and let me know what you think!

okay, so its been foreverrrr, but I have updates! I bought wheels, a while ago, and adapters, and its going to be wideeee. the wheels are panasport G7's. 3 piece and custom finished.



and here is a picture from h2oi. and I plan on getting tires within the next week, and putting them on and pulling fenders :O

it can go lower, I want it to, but my exhaust needs tucked and I need a fuel cell because I lay frame on little things just driving lol. it doesn't look low, but the frame is about 2" off the road, and exhaust is maybe 1 inch, and its a greddy exhaust system, worth about a grand haha, but don't worry low is coming soon, after injectors cause its spitting and dying out like its not getting enough fuel or something, and I just put a new fuel filter in
