JZ33 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 lol I posted the pics and no one saw them and I did feel like everyone forgot but I dont have tires yet because I let my friend borrow the two I have (to get the car on the ground, not driving on them though...) and then Ill buy the other two when I get those back.. soon hopefully... THEN i need flares... and a quick release steering wheel so I can get in and out without training to be a contortionist, but that part can wait... I JUST WANT TO GET IT ON THE GROUND!!!

DISLEXICDIME Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 here are my 15x8'swith kumo 195 50 15 on my flared dime Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I dont know if that will be enough stretch to fit under the flares with my car being low... Ill experiment haha Seems we are the opposites of eachother yours is running mine isnt, mine is on the ground yours isnt. Hahaha LOL thats completely true! Hopefully we can just have them done at or near the same time too! Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Does anyone have some input on where/how to mount some harnesses? Can I mount them to a rear strut bar or do I need to mount them somewhere else? Quote Link to comment
turboHLS30 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I was planning on just welding a piece of roll cage tubing inbetween the rear strut towers that way it doubles as reinforcement and a harness bar. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Id rather not do something like that simply because I want keep full interior... this isnt going to be a go fast car haha just a nice car to drive and occasionally have some fun... which is also why I'm keeping the factory AC and such...

JZ33 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 NEED OPINIONS! Im going to be doing the body work and then paint it after I fit my flares (so I wont have to cut through paint haha) but... I cant decide what color! No reds, blues, or blacks... those are already ruled out unless its a super crazy awesome color... So please, input and opinions!! Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Opinions still welcome... Started the wet sanding today, and disassembly... both fenders and buckets off, cowl, and the inspection flaps... There is a TON of tape residue on the hatch though. It leaks and putting masking tape over the seem was the best way to keep it dry until I got my awning thing... Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The tire stretch is a bit extreme, and i liked the enkies better. Overall this is a nice z. Great work dude Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Gunmetal gray. Charcoal Gray. Nissan GT-R blue <--- fucking great blue White with black flares. It's your Z. You know what to do with it not us Quote Link to comment

Great work dude haha thanks, the tires are not set in stone as of yet. Just depends on what the wheels look like under the flares and the clearance... Gunmetal gray. Charcoal Gray. Nissan GT-R blue <--- fucking great blue White with black flares. It's your Z. You know what to do with it not us No white, just because everyone else on here seems to be doing that, the GT-R blue is AMAZING I just dont like the "Devil Z" stereotype with blue... I am VERY highly considering Silverstone (same color as my 350Z) but a little darker and with a light green pearl... And yes its my Z, but I like to hear opinions that could possibly give me more, better ideas about what I want to do :) Quote Link to comment

I'd OD green that bisch... good temp paint till i get my ideas straight just make sure you get the flat camo stuff Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 It was flat white until now haha and after seeing the other gunmetal Z on pink wheels, Im really liking my idea... Ill make the final decision on the pearl when I mix everything up though.. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 What time is it? OK! I love body work... Quote Link to comment
