big-phil Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I need to lower it, cut the fenders, and put some wheel spacers on. Then I'm saving up for a real paint job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotfitz Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I need to lower it, cut the fenders, and put some wheel spacers on. Then I'm saving up for a real paint job!! Looks great! I've been considering them for mine. Be prepared for coil overs and sectioned struts in the front to lower it even this low: http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/medium/P2210006.JPG Hmm. I was going to put that right there on my '77, when I had it: Nice to see it going to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It's all going to come together when you lower it. That's all that's missing. Looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yea, the rears look almost perfect. The fronts need a little spacer, but otherwise it looks good Phil! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob_racing Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 So those are the 15x8 Sportmax wheels and Classic Datsun ZG flares with no spacers? Wow, that looks really good and was pretty much what I had in mind for my own car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 nice job Phil, your car as really been coming along nicely in the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey phil looks good, But i think the rear flares may be a tad low. The way i was shown to install the flares on the rear was to try and pickup where the inner fender well would intersect the rear 1/4 at is highest point then go 1/4 inch above that. That should line the rear fenders up with the fronts so they follow the body line. I dont have a perfect picture to show you what i mean but look at mine. The purpose for the flares is to be able to run wider tires and also lower the car. you cant do this without cutting the 1/4. Most do this is by cutting the 1/4 panel and match it up with the inner fender so there there is nothing to rub on with suspension at full travel. At any rate here is a couple pics of mine which where installed by a body shop in japan. See how the rear flares are actually above the door handle. In this picture the rears look to be below the door handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanh Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Flares look great on your car. I hope my install will turn out ok. Hey phil looks good, But i think the rear flares may be a tad low.

Thats how I was going how to mount the Zg flares Higher than the door handles cause I felt it was too low when I did fit under the line. I guess I was right. I am starting to mount the Zg flares tmr. I did a practice test on one of my spare front fenders. Let me know if that is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
