Re: Lil update on the Z
I hated the stock wheels. Not to mention the mud bogger white letter tires that were on it. I found a couple set of RS Watanabe's but either they were too small or too much for a set that were the same size as the Konigs. I need 15's to clear the 4 pistons calipers and 14's won't clear.

Re: Lil update on the Z
More toys came in the past couple of days and got my roll bar welded in...almost. Just need to weld in the rear x brace that goes between the two rear bar coming off the main hoop. My Motorsport Auto Datsun ZG fiberglass fender flares came in. I love how these things look sooo much. I'm just gonna bolt these on for now so I can remove them easier when it gets painted hopefully next spring. After that they'll get riveted on. Next my Tokico Illumina shock spring kit came in yesterday and my ES bushing kit is coming today from what the UPS tracking number said. Buddy Club seat was a pain in the *** to get install since I couldn't use my Corbeau seat bracket I bought for it since it mounted it too high for me and hell I'm only 5'5"! lol.
Looks like an install weekend on the Z. So far I've spent 4500 on both the car and everything else in the past 2 months. Keep in mind the car only cost me 1500. It's fun buying all this ---- for this car cause I don't have to worry about ---- getting ripped off like if I would be doing this to my hatch. It's not that bad around here but you still have the little ***** to steal the simple stupid ----...i.e intakes, stereos, etc.. I don't have much planned to buy for it after this besides some harnesses and a Nardi steering wheel that I want.
