Kuro Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Most recent pics. The right side is primed but still needs to be block sanded again. The left side will be in the same state on Monday/Tuesday. Flares are being cut and I'll be stopping by on Monday to get some measurements with the flares for some wheels.

Kuro Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 ..................Just catching this thread up to where my car is at now....................... Look what came in not too long ago. yeay! Three piece spoiler ruffed up and ready for fitting… Here we go, the first fender cut (albeit not to where it will be, better to cut a little and work your way up to the best fit). Looks crooked but it’s not done…. testing, testing…… Drivers side, roof and hatch are primed now Test wheel is on rear now for flare fitment…..(yes I know the tire is small – it’s just a test, stretch and overall size are enough to get an idea when fitting the flares). These babies came in on Friday! My buddy Clive took this shot when sanding was in progress, love it!!! Front Lower Control Arms and Tension Control Rods came in today~ 3/25 Installed the suspension parts Front Rear And the flares are going on!!! Front Rear – inner and outer welded together The radiator support was very rusted along the rear side (limited to that area for some reason). That is now fixed. Fenders removed to get any rust taken care of underneath…. Block sanded Getting primed (final coat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wheels decided to come in and as soon as they did we went to get the tires mounted, took them over to the shop and test fitted the flares with the wheels. Surprisingly, the measurements we took (for the wheels, with all those spacers remember?) , with some great help from my husband and friends in figuring out what sizing I needed, they fit pretty damn good. We just had to make some minor alignment adjustments for the fitting. Naked Wheel, No fender Wheel, fender, flare and air dam – not lowered Passenger side, lowered a respectable amount Profile without flares Can you say toe? Rear, no flare, not lowered One side, lowered (might need a tad bit more low in the rear to match the front, but we’ll see once everything is on). Really needs an alignment!!! haha. (similar pic just a little brighter) Pic of the wall (as reflected off of my fender) NICE! Windshield going in…. Rear hatch window too! Flares painted Air Dam, bumper, mid section of spoiler Side sections of spoiler, headlight scoops, blah blah blah… Closer shot (before wetsand) Sneak peaks Sorry the first one was with my cell phone camera (don’t look at the brake booster and stuff in the engine bay. Just pretend it’s not there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks to my good friends I got a sneak peak of where it’s at now. Before the flares and wheels………… Flares going on……… no wheels Flares and wheels! Will go a bit lower…. but not yet. These babies came in yesterday. Shiny!

Kuro Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Body work is now done. It's at another shop right now getting an alignment. I'm getting random pics from friends that have been there taking pics of it. I'll post some soon. Edited August 22, 2012 by Kuro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1ghtymaxXx Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Spectacular build! Might I ask where you got the coilover "adapters"? I recently bought a 77 to replace my 83 S130 that succumbed to rust. The 83 was on Megan S13 coilovers which I intend to adapt to the the S30. I assume you used 240Z struts, or do those threaded tubes allow for the larger 280Z strut tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to use Megan coilovers, get your sleeves from zccjdm.com, Brian makes them for Megan and Stance. My car is on his sleeves/camber plates and I have Stance gr+ s13 coilovers.

Nelatl Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Just had to let you know that the car looks great... Very nice build! I'm on the fence about what size wheels to run next, and your setup looks perfect. Im running 16x8 w/ spacers right now , but would like to go at least 16x9.5 with neg offset. What are the specs on your Works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
