Paint was fine after rolling on driver's side... looks like bondo was present on the pass side (large, thick paint flakes)... I'm going to mask off the fender (better than in the pic... just did a quick couple of layers of primer) and paint all of the flares with a matte black to hold me over to whenever I decide to paint the car (low priority).

I'll be installing the fronts tonight... the rears are waiting on 5 lug rotors since stoptech sent 4 lug by mistake.

Parts list:
Stoptech "big brake kit" w/ SS Rear Lines
Axxis Ultimate pads (F&R)
Attain conversion hubs front - Nissan 5 lug hubs rear
Bronze CE28N 17x9 +15 F 17x9.5 R
Blue FN01R 17x10 +12 R (guest appearance from the blue Formula D car beside mine... moved to NYC so this season is on hold... finishing the car for a friend)

Thanks to my friend Rob who works next door at Bosch for loaning me the fender roller... I sure needed it!

The Project

The Wheels

The Cage

Attain hubs will be here Wed... and I will pick up the rotors for the back tomorrow (since stoptech sent the wrong ones)

...and the wheels are waiting on the brakes... that cracked paint on the pass fender is looking a lot better though... can't just waste time waiting on parts

nice setup, pretty much what i plan to have done by this time next year

what kind of stuff you planning on doing with it?

Lookin' good, but needs moar pics of installed brakes.

i came to this thread for the brakes, but looks good dude!!

It's the 5 lug Big Brake front kit (std 5 lug rear with lines on all 4 corners... axxis ultimate pads for the road... not sure what I'll run on the track yet)... they don't have one for all corners to my knowledge.

I've built the car for road racing... but I'll probably drift it every now and again. I'm thinking of running NASA with it b/c SCCA doesn't really have a class I fit in that would be fun. I was going to get my novice road racing license with it this year for our two race team T2 Z's at work, but I've been to busy with work... so hopefully early next year (maybe late this year). At least you don't need a license for open track days!

Here's more on the car...

glad to hear youre taking it road racing....my hatch will be built for time attack, so basically the same thing

i hope to build a wheel to wheel car down the line at some point

now you just need that restructuring of SE-R cup to happen so you dont have to run some other poorly populated class, since youve got the RB in there

hope to see you at watkins glen next summer, i also hope to be heading out your way for a few events

Both sides did... I'll fix those when I paint the car down the road

Quick teaser (quick phone pics)... front hubs delayed one day... tracking says tomorrow. I'll be done this weekend... given nothing breaks...

I need RUCA's and RLCA's... and I need bigger tires... can't complain about these though... they were free (245/40/17)

RLCA's are expensive as ****, have fun

Pics of the finished product with a goose in the foreground to add randomness ftw!

Brakes look good!! im to embarassed to post my new set up lol, 350z track rotors with 30mm z calipers 12.8'' what size is the stop tech? also when you roll the fender like that the paint gets ****ed?

thanks!

I am also actually doing what you're doing with my car, I've made up my mind to go with the rb20 as well.

My engine just died (KA auto that i have been pushing crazy, yes I drove it in 2 instead of drive at times hehe). The engine starter went out.. then wintery cold weather came and problems arose and then headgasket/rings being gone made the oil and coolant being eaten fast happen. Soo.. the engine seized on top of the engine starter going (had to keep hammering it lol).

Right now the car is parked for the winter anyways... but after the winter.. I will put in the RB20 as well.

I am also only intersted in road racing and time attack. Drifting is overrated, and time attack is making its scene entrance in north america.

Heh, finally in north america things are shifting from nascar and drag racing to drifting and now finally more broader road racing/time attack circuit racing Auto-x is no fun compared to circuit racing time attacks..

Keep your threads alive I love reading your builds

That's more than just a roll. That is a roll AND a pull. Pretty serious pull too.

As for the roll and "fender reshaping" we'll call it... yeah it's clean as long as there is no bondo underneath... the driver side rolled and pulled without cracking but the pass side cracked due to some filler that was on there that I didn't know about... I've taken all of the filler out and fixed it for now with a quick paint job to hold me until I do the whole thing (silvia aero facia at the house and waiting for the engine development to be done)... expect the upper part of the fender near the quarter glass to dent in if you pull this much... I'll be fixing that here soon... not to bad though
