I was waiting for someone to notice that lol. its a ww1 trench knife replica, figured it would be the proper dose of merica for the build lmao. haven't decided on a break or Shift knob yet though

[FowlerE30]

Nardi wheel with the tokyo button looks good, but that knuckled knife is distracting, that for opening the package?haha *cough* hand brake or shifter option *cough*

updated pictures since the old ones expired. car got held up at customs on the container for a few weeks but back on track now! finalizing everything and i should be picking her up this weekend or next!

another update, since they were having the car apart to do servicing i opted for replacing some parts and upgrading. got an hks timing belt installed as well as hks cam gears for future tuning, new waterpump, and hks accessory belts. the turbo gaskets were also a bit worn so had those replaced too. should be all ready to go for some fun summer driving and hopefully some abuse, but nothing crazy until the garbage stock turbos are replaced this winter!

more exciting news! found a set of nismo lmgt3 for sale for a very good deal! might be taking a decent road trip next week to pick these up possibly. couldnt think of a better set of wheels to throw on as a daily setup in between building and using the futuras. 2 piece, made by rays, forged as well. should be able to take a bit of abuse!

thanks man! means a lot your build is really inspirational haha. your car and frederick chanons metallic brown gtr are what inspired me to go low with my build and have it sit right. love your car man! thanks for the support

most arms either don't have the need to twist (99% of people don't realise then wonder why their locking collars are constantly undoing) or also like to foul on the chassis side mounting bracket when going super low. you planning on dragging rail? most clever cookies just stick with the induced camber from lowering. if you want to reduce it some (you'll land a good 4* or so by dumping it on its guts) then you can space out the mounting bracket from the chassis with a few washers.

check out this guide I wrote on getting some extra clearance too.

best of luck. every r/z32 I stop from snapping a FUCA is a life saved...

thanks for the info man! and i wasnt planning on laying it all the way out haha. i want it to retain sime level of functionality but still sit nice in the wheels with pretty good fitment. i figured the wheels being 18s would help with that. figured the suspension,geometry would be pretty good on 18s as opposed to 17s and i could get good fitment without binding everything up! do you think mine might still be ok for something like that? i dont want to run into any problems with mine haha ill try lowering it first and see how well the natural neg camber works with the wheels up front before i install anything just to be safe

I`m in love

thanks man! it was a little bit more than i wanted to spend originally but this is a very solid car, pretty low mileage and the paint is looking fantastic for being original. either way the price is driven up wayyy high for the u.s. market so i still saved some money buying in canada haha

ah so that wasnt a good purchase on my part? lol ive been trying to find a way to add just a little bit of camber to the front i figured these would have been ok for the -2 or so i wanted to go for. would you recommend something different/better for acheiving that? im still a noob when it comes to these hahaha
