jdizzy204 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 have you decided which wheels you are going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have decided on the wheels. I absolutely love the CCW classics and will be placing an order in the near future. Im looking along the lines of 11" rears and 9.5" fronts in 18 inch diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Some updates. Car is back from the bodyshop. We decided to do the underside, interior, engine bay and door jambs etc first. We will then assemble the car and take it back to the bodyshop for the full exterior spray. This is being done to avoid the chips and scratches while undergoing assembly. The interior of the vehicle received a "lizard skin" type spray on sound deadener application to the firewall, tunnel, hatch area, wheel wells and floors. It is already a noticeably less "tinny" sound. I then began to install the "FatMat" insulation. Yes...this will add weight to the car however I want this car to be as rattle free and quiet inside as possible. This is primarily a street car. I guess I'll have to dial up the boost a pound or so to compensate. It is hard to see but this is a photo of the sprayed on sound deadener. Here you can see the "Fatmat" being applied..yes..theres a lot of it. You can also see in this photo the paint colour changing a bit to bronze. As mentioned...this is the Nissan "titanium" paint (Code is KAC) Painted wheelwells. underside of car...in this light paint looks more grey... Underside of car and hatch area where fuel cell will be installed. Arizona Z car billet stuff installed. More to come soon...Techno toy tuning front and rear control arms and T/C rods later today...

DREW RBZ Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have not been working on the car for some time as my mother fought hard against a recurrence of her Cancer. She lost the battle on May 28, 2012. I will be back to working on the car shortly. Make sure you give your loved ones a big hug and kiss when you see them.

Kevlars30z Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yea I saw the post but wasn't so sure if it was a R200. Been spending the last 2 nights reading up on all the differentials that are available for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
