aidannn Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 hi guys thought id make a build thread over here. ok sold my previous car 03 honda dc5r. minor mods: exhaust injen cai tein ha coilovers 17x9 +18 regamasters evo x2 / marquis promoda x2 then was surfing the net one day and i dno how i saw pics of austin hokes car. i was instantly in love and knew i had to have one. after toying the ideas of getting an s13/14/15s , skylines/gtrs i said **** it and this happened. ....................... ....................... in comes the 1973 datsun 240z. l24 su carbs lowered springs skyline gearbox some front lip ive only seen for sale in australia bre rear wing drove the car like that for around 8 months. around that time i bought a couple things hayashi streets 15x9.5 -19 stretched 195/55/15 ssr sp1r 15x8.5 +2 225/45/15 toyo t1s then car got put in for a respray. back to bare metal, check for rust/fixed minor. i got very lucky that what appeared to be rust under the paint was actually bog! (score!) **** having rust. got zg flares put on and rear wing painted black. bam! by this time i already had something on their way from japan for the rears. 15x9.5 -33 ssr formula mesh they arrived last friday. had 205/60/15 pirelli p6s mounted on saturday morning. then sunday morning went to a massive meet which was held in sydney. my front flares look ****, guy i bought them off cut too much out (i didnt think too much of it at the time). so ive got another set coming from japan that should arrive this week to replace them. couple pics of the other cars at the meet (fonzy one of my favourite cars in the world) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meph Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Good first post got some more pics of the 205/60 stretched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Very nice. I don't know why, but I really like the black mud flaps you took off. I think painted the same color of the car they would look amazing. Maybe with the ZG's they would look good black.

aidannn Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Good first post got some more pics of the 205/60 stretched? not at the moment. ill take some and post them for you Very nice. I don't know why, but I really like the black mud flaps you took off. I think painted the same color of the car they would look amazing. Maybe with the ZG's they would look good black. haha i was never a fan of the mud flaps. and if i kept them on, it hides the stance from the rear. and we cant have that! Thanks for the kind words guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 How long until you spring for an RB? Looks nice man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidannn Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 How long until you spring for an RB? Looks nice man. haha the only rb id put in this would be a 26. but here in australia you see skylines/silvias everywhere and id rather keep it period correct. id love to have an l28et! u americans can pick them up so cheap, lucky bastards! still got no idea what im going to do about engine mods.

surfer.tech Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 do you have any better pics of the SSR SP1R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidannn Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 ill grab some better pics of the sp1r for you. in other news ive found an l28et which im going to purchase. - not that fascinating to you americans, but its a big deal to me as we never received the l28et in australia. to put it into perspective, its rarer than rb25/26 for us aussies, as every 2nd sports car here is either sr20 or rb powered. i guess you guys would rather an sr or rb powered z. ill leave with a pic of my car that was taken by some guy at the meet mentioned earlier.
