V8ZRACER260Z Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Great job and that's coming from a paint & body guy! Nice choice of color and from the pictures looks like a great job laying down the paint. I too love the period lip and decklid spoilers. Waiting to see the car finished!!

cockerstar Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Very nice! Definitely a fan of the wheels Where did you get your chin spoiler? I've seen a few variations on the BRE version, and your is my favorite style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info on tires, wheels and suspension mods, if needed, please. Thanks I've have a couple people asking me about the rims. This is everything I know. They are ROTA RB-R size 17x8.5 with a +4 back space. Stock lugs I think that comes out to a 4x114.3. The tires are a 225/45/17. I got them very cheap from Craigslist so I'm going to change them when I start driving it. I think I can run a 245/40/17 front and back. And maybe a 255/40/17 in the back. I'm running coilovers front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

310z Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Your car looks beautiful, nice work. I also like the gold wheels with the orange body. The BRE spoilers stay true to the era. The modern wheels look great. Check your tire clearence to the lower front valence when the wheels are turned. Trimming of the lower front valence may be needed. My car was orange with gold centered Enkie 92 since 1987. As many have infered here, that they were surprised that the color combo looked so good togather. Most people that saw my car thought the color combo looked great. Every once in a while someone would say, you need to change the wheels to silver or black, but not often. I struggled with the decision to change the color. First, I bead blasted the Enkies to natural silver centers and put them back on the car and that also looked good but not as stand out as the gold. If, I changed the color it would be a light color to help deal with the heat from the sun. I went ahead and took the big step to change the color which included media blasting. I went silver (Liquid platnum, K-23) and I love the results. However, I do miss the old color pattern. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looking better and better. I would do clear blinker lenses up front to set them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
