Those are Ray's MXP lugs - they're really silly and stupid expensive, but they're purple. I needed them. Looks great :thumbup: Needs an inch or two lower, and new front lower control arms. She's getting there, though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wow that's nice! That beast will look like it's coming to eat you if you see in in your rearview mirror Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 i like it just how it is the stance is perfect man why go lower? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 i like it just how it is the stance is perfect man why go lower? cuz it is not perfect... When you go to the extent of stretched tires, and flares, you might as well go from zero wheel gap. It does need lower... but I hate saying that. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 hestucking tire front and rear the only reason there is any form of gap is because the tires are stretched like they are Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Which means most lowar Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 After much deliberation, I'll probably end up leaving it how it is. I might just be making excuses here; but I can actually drive the car at the height it's at right now. I won't lie, though - I was really hoping to gain another inch and a half out of this coil set-up. It's a lot of headaches to cut it up any further, though. For once, I think I might have to just settle with this aspect of this car. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 The height is fine where your at man, i love it already. Funny im usually the one begging for moar low but yours is on point. Btw did you do the harness yourself or third party like wiring specialties or something? Every Z on this forum doesnt hafta slammed. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 ^^^^ he's right, its look AMAZING! Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 "Here's my story of a rusty car with a bleak future." Looks like the car's future is more than just bleak! Just don't wad it up into a tree or go off of a corner due to a high rate of speed! Project is looking great!! :D Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah I just notices every z build taking place except Alex and Dtp are slammed Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah I just notices every z build taking place except Alex and Dtp are slammed That's because this is ratsun, the only forum on earth where slamming an s30 is accepted. Quote Link to comment

JZ33 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 lol thats a good point... both the every z on ratsun and the fact this is the only forum where it would be acceptable... EVER. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 This just in - S13 coils are fucking annoying. I have to pull my suspension out and cut it up to get any lower, but this is how she sat. First time on the ground in 14 months.. I'm worried about the same thing. I build some for my Sunny and hope I don't have to redo them.... Car looks fucking sick!!!!!!! Congrats! Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Congrats ... that's gotta feel pretty good to see it sitting on its own. Feels pretty crazy, haha. Now to finish the fucker. Wow that's nice! That beast will look like it's coming to eat you if you see in in your rearview mirror Haha, here's to hoping! i like it just how it is the stance is perfect man why go lower? Cheers! The height is fine where your at man, i love it already. Funny im usually the one begging for moar low but yours is on point. Btw did you do the harness yourself or third party like wiring specialties or something? Every Z on this forum doesnt hafta slammed. Thanks, pal. I cut the chassis harness up myself, but a friend of mine is an electrical engineer, and he'll be helping me with the engine loom. He's incredibly familiar with Datsuns, as well as Skylines and S13's. ^^^^ he's right, its look AMAZING! Thank-you. "Here's my story of a rusty car with a bleak future." Looks like the car's future is more than just bleak! Just don't wad it up into a tree or go off of a corner due to a high rate of speed! Project is looking great!! :D Haha, I'll do my best not to. I'm worried about the same thing. I build some for my Sunny and hope I don't have to redo them.... Car looks fucking sick!!!!!!! Congrats! Thanks, brother. I'd be worried about the weight of the Sunny not compressing the struts at all. I can't make the coils compress in the S30 by jumping up and down on it - it just doesn't weigh enough. This definitely attributes to missing out on that extra inch of drop. Just make the overall length of the assembly the very shortest you possibly can, and hope for the best! Quote Link to comment
