  1. Definitely in for 16"s. If they dont make them in 16" I think I'll bite the bullet and get Watanabes.
  2. Install is easy and straight forward. ZCCJDM Fender mirrors Install diagram
  3. Oh damn. I like this design so much better than the RBR's I already bought. I bought a set of Fast Forwards years ago in 15". I could never find out who made them or if there were additional sizes. I think I want in on that group buy if/when it happens.
  4. I have my build priced out to about $30k so far. About $8000 for the drivetrain (excluding diff), $2400 for brakes/wheels/tires, $7000 for the body/paint/addons, $3000 for interior, and around $4000 for the suspension. Thats with lots of things like hardware, wiring, fabrication, and small stuff left out. Quality parts and services are important. Being patient and taking time to save money to afford the good stuff is also important, in my opinion. If its worth doing, its worth doing right.
  5. I'm glad I found this thread! I was gonna go with Stainlessheaders.com route, but this looks much better.
  6. This is where I got a lot of my info for my original plan to turbo the KAE. My friend used the same forums to turbo his KAE for 500-1000ish I think. http://www.ka-t.org/forums/
  7. My 2nd favorite car I've owned/driven (next to my 280) was my POS stock '93 240sx. The clutch master leaked onto the carpet, occasionally would throw codes preventing it from starting but was easy to bypass, door locks didnt work so I had to crawl through the hatch every time I bothered to lock it, and had been through a hail storm making it look like a giant golf ball. I loved that POS. It was probably my most fun daily driver of all time. Sliding in gravel, dirt, concrete lots and not giving a **** how it looked. Easy and cheap to work on. Ramming shopping carts in the Wal Mart parking lot. Getting a little air borne in a local construction site that never saw any progress. Easily having 9 or 10 240's + an FC (88 RX7) in front of my house most friday and saturday nights was awesome too. They're really great, fun DD's if you abuse them a little. I think it helps to be young and dumb. I had this car when I was 16-17. The track car I got rid of in January of this year. My SR20 was really finicky. If you do go the SR route, I'd recommend rebuilding it or staying away from Canadian importers, I can't remember the name but they spoke a mix of French and English and shouting if that helps anyone remember dealing with them. These cars can easily turn into an enormous money pit but it's so worth it. They can handle amazing and bringing power out of the SR or anything else commonly swapped in them is very easy. Picture from inside my POS s13 of my buddy's POS s13. After being kicked out of a local lot for sliding, we went to another and messed around. Mainly laying on the roof with the car in 1st and steering from there. Yes, there are two cars in that picture. I think it was cold, hence the terrible quality. And the track car I shouldn't have given up on.
  8. I recently found a whole white paint kit in my garage my old roommate left behind. Primer, paint, clear, everything. I might go ahead and paint mine white since all the materials ended up being free . Love this thread, and I second the sticky suggestion.
  9. I'll be keeping the heat in my Z. From past experience, a heater can help save the motor if it starts to overheat. Blasting my heater on my old SR20 made it drop 20 degrees. Having heat in the winter months in case my DD develops issues and isn't road worthy would be nice too.
  10. I picked up an orange one from the Costco down the street. I was hoping they'd have black, but just yellow and orange. Its got a spot on my desk at home, but I might take it to the shop I'll be working at soon.
  11. looks like the videos are going to be on the guys website. there are two up at the moment. i was hoping it was going to be a movie, but looks like a series of shorts that run together. http://www.russchimes.com/
  12. the best way to go about anything is to save up and do it right the first time.
