Edit: Accidentally duplicated my last post somehow.

So here's a photo.

Love the angular 80's goodness! Any alternate wheel plans post-mechanical upkeep?

I owned a z31 vg30et but i always lusted after the 200zr… america dreams.

This is kinda cool. I knew a guy with a 200ZR (I'm pretty sure it was RB20) locally. The spacers have done wonders for the fitment, but this is S|W after all, so I guess I have to say "would look better lower"

[sawatsky]

I feel like smaller wheels with would really set this thing off. Love these cars so much!

I'll let photos do most of the talking here.

Big shout out to my mother for rolling my guards for me. She's been assigned the job ever since the corolla days.



Where the fun begins (Featuring turbo I didn't even use...)



RB20 manifold that didn't fit RB20. Had to cut the bottom of where it bolts on to the manifold so it was flat to prevent it from hitting against the rib while keeping enough metal on there for the bolt to hold the manifold and gasket tight and without warping it.



Also annoying stuff like this happened. If anyone's ever thinking of buying an ebay manifold, don't.
Be safe with something name brand and you won't run into headaches like this and it's probably less likely to crack.





Ended up getting an OP6 (R34 turbo) as the mystery turbo had different banjo bolt sizes.



Even more headaches to chop down the RB25 compressor housing elbow and rotate it to point somewhat near my top mount intercooler.



Finally got it running after fixing a few boost leaks...

And some photos with the car pretty much together again.





Can already feel a big difference with how boost comes on and hits harder.
Stay tuned for some very cool stuff coming in the mail soon...

Your mom rolls your fenders for you????? Uhm rad

This is sweet. Have always wanted one of these, even though I think of them as the Z bastard child.

Yeah, she's pretty cool. She drives an original '82 KE70 Corolla as well as a '75 Mercedes 280E W114 that I'm trying really hard to convince her to get airbags for



And yes, this is a photo of me at 16 and my first ever single-wheeler-peeler.
Shhh, don't tell her

So some stuff happened...



This came in the mail. Original 200ZR sales brochure. Got scans of every page so it can be kept in it's protective sleeve.



Now onto actual car stuff. Installed a Bee*R...



Set up the camera...



And this was the result:

Then installed neons because hell, why not?



Then this gave me some ideas...

Lots more coming soon, including new wheel barells
