'90 Coupe

[placham]

Okay, I figure I should post some pics of my car. Since I have been on this website trying to figure out $hit I couldn't figure out on my own. Basically I somewhat own progress on the car to this website and some of it's user's input.

Okay here we go, I know everyone loves pics. Sorry for $hitty pics, I will take some more when I have time and better camera.



Okay specs:Q45 rear 5-lug hubs-> DS CV axle->Q45 VLSD 300zx TT DS CV axleJDM S14 5-lug hub's-> Steering knuckle-> FLCA TEIN HE's (S13)all the way around, drilled for S14 larger bolt knuckleSILVIA S13 Q's full front-end conversionWORK REZAX (1) 17's-> F 17x8 with +5 , R 17x9 with +10, straight from import land , I'm sure they have seen better days.CUSCO S13 tension rods

Besides these parts, I want the car stock as possible.

Parts to still install Blitz Nur Spec 3" cat-back exhaustpaid $565 for exhaust shipped from Phase 2 Motortrend, they also threw in a TOPFUEL brand oil catch can with no charge. Thanks guys, really good seller.S13 DCC (digital climate control) not pictured

Engine is stock KA24E, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. Ether KA24DE-T or I might get a RB20DET, but haven't decided yet. Just have a 5 spd swap at the moment.

Car should get painted this coming weeks, so by mid Jun it should be done.

I'm thinking black, any one know of good black paint, any color codes? My body guy suggested black with silver flakes , not too sure on that.I might also have to roll the back fenders just a little bit.

Any comments are welcome, or better yet suggestions on how to improve. I want it to look clean. Took it out today on the street, I most of have been going like 20MPH just shifted to 2nd, some Bi@ch yelled slow down. Had to park here back in garage. But then again my speedo don't work, lower trans harness is somewhere in gargae, cant find it .

Oh yeah, every time I work on the car. It seams like it's done, but there is always something else to do, can't never be done.

Thanks guys.

ya dont think im much a fan of "silver flakes" either. looking good tho

Thanks, I'm thinking just plaint black.

I think I have to drop the front a little bit. I had the tires siting against the fenders when I installed the TEIN's first. Passanger side front is up a little bit because chamber is not even. I was too tired to mess with it.

Oh yeah I got a '95 KA24DE motor just sitting around could be a good donor for BOOOOOST with 1 of my 2 Holset Hy35w turbos. Probably needs work, I haven't checked it out yet, know it needed timing chain guide.

By the way would a BMW BBS wheel wrench work on these Work Rezax center caps. One of the caps is really hard to tighten down. Looks like 80mm 6 sided cap, just like BMW.

Dont crush them, restore them

Bump.

By the way anyone know where I can get SILVIA decal/badge for back. I looks just like front decal (that's on front grill) but it's for back. It's that old style of font that came on S13's only. I have seen on on ebay about 2 months ago, but did not realize they were that rare.

Thanks

Just make sure you order the right one. It would look foolish if you put s14 Silvia badges on it.

Thanks FeintMind, I was looking for that. I see the one I want. I see they got 3 different for S13 '89-94 in Gold, Silver, and Platinum.
