Project Dirty Dimepiece

Now lets get back to posting pics of my shiny new parts >

I just beat the shit out of it with a big hammer and then sanded and spray painted it. Now even at 1/2" lower than I was before, no rub!

[HAM8URGER]

So I did some research and discovered that there are only a few options. You can either cut this bump, ridge, lip... (whatever you want to call it) out of the fender and weld in a flat piece, just not be lowered (which obviously is not an option for me) or do the following....

So after taking out on the road I realized the rears are still rubbing even after a heavy roll on all 4 fenders. I looked up inside of the rear fenders to find this....

There really isnt that much room in the back on these cars

Mind you, these cheap Konig Rewinds that came with the car are 15x7 +0 with 195/50/15's

This pic will show the difference in track width between stock struts and 280ZX struts

Oh I forgot to add that we rolled all 4 fenders

[HAM8URGER]

Only problem with this setup is that the ebrake cables wont reach the calipers. Might have to rig something up later.

Ordered some 200 SX rotors from Porterfield Brakes and Nissan Maxima calipers, stainless lines and adapter/brackets from Datsunparts LLC. Maxima pads were from Porterfield as well.

Also threw the coils on the rear

Using the 280ZX hubs and brakes as well. Also has RCA's/bump steer spacers at the bottom of the struts...
