Z32 project, "six month build"

[P78]

thanks for all the feedback guys I really appreciate it. might sound boring but I'll put up a post soon about the wiring next methinks.



that's the plan. barrels that came with the wheels have already been binned. they'll be something like 11.5 +30 F and 12" +30 or so... going to modify my rear LCA's for additional inner clearance and if it comes to it the tie rod mount too. not sure about the latter at this point as I think it's about in line with the spring and if that's the case fuck it. want to stretch something silly like 285s so I can actually put some power to the ground while still rocking the look. need to widen the barrels as much as possible into the wheel wells

i have one question for you now

when?

curious to c what result those modena's will give

you'll need to rebuild them aggressively imo

Wow, the vmrs looked really good on your car - wouldn't have expected that at all.

Interested in the progress you make, all the old school/rare parts are cool.

Update?

Neat build! Keep at it!

I don't envy all that wire wheeling... PITA

Love this!

holy responses bat man. yay. thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll put up the next post soon; bolt ons or wiring.

having a bit of a debate in my head at the moment as to whether I should be reapplying the seam sealer after the welding. i've been under so many modern cars that have exposed seams with no sealer whatsoever on all over the under body, usually only consistently done in the wheel wells. anyone have any input?

Enjoying the build to date.. but not feeling the Modenas. at. all. Unless this was an F40, they are far too dated a style, in my humble opinion - something more timeless, like a TE37, would work very well.

constructive feedback is good feedback. the modenas for me work because I think they suit the broad, lumpy lines of the car. parts of the wheel do date it a bit too much IMO, such as the split pin in the the center that I won't be using. i'll take a few other touches to them which might help make them look a little less aged.

barring that not all hope is lost, classic if-i-worked-on-my-car-as-much-as-i-thought-about-it me is also keen on some Nismo LMGT-1s and VeilSide Andrew Evo 5s... or Emitz hahaha

Really liking the look of this. For some reason, i find myself wanting one. Don't think this has ever been the case.

Wow Modena's look really good on a Z32, I would have never guessed. Definitely digging the sidewall lettering too! Awesome work, keep at it.

So much motivation in this thread

Unless this was an F40, they are far too dated a style, in my humble opinion - something more timeless, like a TE37, would work very well. Of course, I think a massive dish/stepped lip combo with concave spokes would be the duck's guts.
Looking forward to how this develops
