aberpissedwith!

knows i love it marc..
loved all your s bodies

I'm liking it, when I first saw the wheels, I wasn't keen, but on the car they look great, looking forward to the updates.

Love this car!! The wheels look awsome!

Thanks for the comments boys.

Ripped the old s14 brakes off today to check the R32 GTR's would fit under my wheels, and thankfully they do.......just

I would of had to remove the lettering on them if I had'nt already because I have about 1mm of clearance at the moment.

Crappy old:



Nice new:







Also took the knackered old tension rods off and fitted the Driftworks ones I had, this cost me 2 fecking hours, the skin off 3 fingers and a rather large burn (put my hand on the torch getting up) because the bastard was seized in there.

Still I won and that's what counts:

lol swearing at rubber mounts seems to be pretty standard behavior..
harry loves doing it to!

did u have to shave the raised nissan bit off the calipers to get them to fit?

out of interest, are your wheels heavy?

I took the letters off because I prefer them smooth, I would of had to take them off anyway because they would of hit the back of the wheel otherwise.

Silentdice- The wheels are'nt the lightest thats for sure but not as heavy as they look, they're machined out alot on the back.

Ahh right fair enough, thought they looked chunkey lol

looking sweet man!

Binned the purple for the brakes, decided it would be abit to lary behind my rims so went a more neautral colour:




My crappy phone doesnt pic it up but the colour does have a slight sparkle to it

You gonna put any paint on that primer?

:O i been looking for purple caliper paint and cant find any, dig it out ya bin now!

It's not purple brake paint, just celulose that I was going to test to see if it stayed on (which I'm sure it would).

Just get some 2k purple it'll be fine.

Small update, coilovers are on

The cars currently sitting as low as it can go untill I decide what to do with the arches, but this should give a good insight to what the (dare I say it) stance
will look like from the front:



It will be going at least 1" lower when it can

Pretty much set my eye's on the Rocket bunny fenders front and rear now, Hexham Scotty is expecting them in stock in roughly 2 weeks so we'll see what happens.

plus itll be a bit lower again when they settle

They are settled, they dont really settle down much anyway because of the stiff spring rates.

As I said they cant go lower at the moment because the tyres will be sat on the arch lips.

gotcha

u got a sprayer for the bumper?

If you mean someone to paint it then yes, the whole cars going black once the body works ready.

that will look ace!

Seeing as I'm stuck waiting to sort out the wings at the moment I thought I should take a proper look underneath the car. If I'm honest I was expecting it to be a bit of a mess, but it wasnt that bad.

Took the screwdriver to the brown patches and I didnt go though any of them which was nice Ground/wire brushed all the shitty patches then pasted with por15 (stuffs awesome) and waxoil underseal ontop.

Ditched the diff oil cooler too while I was under there.

Did'nt take many pics as my marigolds were covered in paint





Just the front half to do now....

are they meisterR coiovers i can see there? if so how do u find them ? ive heard nothing but good reviews so far keep up the good work!

They are, have'nt used the car with them yet so couldnt tell you.

I only got them cheap I certainly would'nt pay the £700 new price for them, I'd get HSD's again myself.

I'll be getting some HSD's again once the body works done, just dont have the cash spare at the moment when I need so much stuff.
