240hoke Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hey guys, Here are some new pictures of my car.. I just finished my flares last night at about 2:00. The outside fo the car is prety much finished now. Im really happy with the way it turned out.. has a much more finished look now. The bumpers and headlight covers are from MSA. Lots of fitting was required for both pieces but in the end they turned out working quite well. Main thing was shortening the brackets for the bumpers to pull them in closer to the car. Wheels...are Watanabe RS-8 type R's. 16x9 front and 16x9.5 rear. Running 245/45/r16 Hancook ventus tires. The flares are Classic Datsun Zg's, all fenders were cut for adequate clearence. Im going to do a write up on Zg's installs shortly. I got the wheels from Quoc (240zmaster) and I cant say enough! Not only were they a good price, I also recieved the wheels in a little over a month from the date I ordered them (thats all the way from japan!). If you need these wheels dont hesistate to go through Quoc, he'll work you out a great price and is awesome to work with. OKay advertisement done lemme know what yall think!

theianmonster Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 How did you end up shortening the brackets for the rear bumper? I have the same rear bumper but I haven't installed it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar240z Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i have a folder on my comp specifically for pics of your car, amazing. why doesn't EVERYONE have headlight covers!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 That looks spectacular Austin.... I can only hope mine looks that good once my ZG's and CF stuff is on it. I really need you to put up that ZG write up, so us hold outs can proceed with the clearnce cuts... Again.... looks awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Very nice! What are the offset #'s for the wheels? Can you snap a picture of the rear of the car but on the ashphalt, same angle as the one on sparky's post? You have PM. Congrats on a beautifull car.

cygnusx1 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Absolutely gorgeus! I am not a big fan of the ZG flares particularly because of the metal cutting involved but they ROCK on your car. How did the cars performance change with the bigger gummies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWRex Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Very cool Austin,I'm glad you didn't end up painting the CF hood!Looks killer. For all you HybridZ newbies,this Z is one of most badass of them out there.The outside of it looks hot,but the components you don't see in those photos makes it even more impressive.Props! I posted about your front suspension setup(adj. LCA's,T/C's,etc.running similar setup)a while back,and was wondering how it was all working out for you.You didn't have the road time on it back then,so If possible let me know.Pro's,con's,opinions? Once again,looks sweeeeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
