Damn, those wheels are huge. I believe the s13s do have bigger wells.
Looking good though, kudos

I dont know how they are yet I have no rims for them....... Sense these are TOO big. I dont get it though I have seen s13 with 19" I dont understand why they dont fit?!

badbob2121 wrote:ya those wheels are not looking great with a stock body, maybe with crazy widebody aero..

The Negative: My rims dont fit and I have to sell or trade (they are on craigslist already)
The Good: I got these today for $480 since I could not get the ones previously from IMS (They SUCK)

GodSpeed 16 way adjustable

Looking good bro. I got a question for u.Im gonna replace my rear bearing because my is bad so my question is. Does the hub comes off when you remove that axel nut or do i have to use a hammer to make it come out? i know you said it just comes out when you remove the nut, but just wanna be sure thanks.

Godspeed?

Hammer and Screwdriver.

It is what it is this IS a budget build, I had the grand to spend on the Stance ones that I really wanted but no body has them without waiting months so F it. This is just a daily driver/drifter. I have a system no roll cage, no turbo, and I use my AC because I live in Flo-rida. I dont plan on reducing any weight on it any time soon.......so they will do to fit my needs. Plus at the price I got them I cant lose.

Yeah just because they are cheap as long as they do what you need who cares. lol

Thanks, with 1k u could have gotten powered by max competition coilovers. Much much better than Godspeed. I actually just order the powered by max pro coilovers, 1500 tho.

That is why I was getting Stance LX +'s at the time. I got these for the function, and price, plus the time of availability. Which frees up extra cash to do other things with like suspension pieces.

Where did you get those Godspeed 16 way coils? Ebay? I seen them on ebay but i didnt think they were 16 way adjustable? Anyway let me know how they turn out. Im looking to get some cheap coils as well. Eventually ill upgrade but for now... anything is better then oem springs/struts, and i currently use my s13 as my daily/drift. Make sure to post up pics of em installed.

arrow head sander piece.

Put on one of my coilovers today because I had a stubborn bolt that did not want to GTFO!


Out with the old and in with the new!

She is now a low down B*tch!





I will take better pics once she is washed and in the day time.

I had to take her for a drive as soon as I was done
Ironic that I took wetdreams out once I was done, it started to rain as soon as my dream was realized!

Day Pics!

looks good!
i like the tail light idea, you just need to paint the lower panel.

Beautiful car you are building there. Love the interior work and the personal touches. Seems like a 'real world' build, on a budget with life still rushing at you full force. Inspiring and interesting.

It looks so much better lowered! Look how tiny your wheel well looks with those small 15" wheels, and the car is slammed! Are you getting bigger wheels? 17s?

Well to answer your question....yes! I just traded the BMW wheels for these with brand new tires and a few hundred dollars FTW! The tire size is 50, bigger than what I really wanted but beggars cant be choosers especially since they are new.




these on this



I should have these on by tomorrow or by the weekend.

Thank you! I appreciate the comments!

What panel do you speak of and what color?

If you are talking of the center panel that looks chrome I have a cover for it. That is cut as an exact fit that I got on ebay.

It will look like this, just like the one I had before except the old got paint on it.

Thanks for the props! I have to admit I did not invent the Fogs in the vent idea, thats just the great wide world of nico and the great intuitive members and their generosity of knowledge. I mastered the art of "Searching"! Props to Florida240sx, and user name!. I actually did USER NAME! DIY thread

The Valve cover I bought on ebay lol I can not polish either.

Your ride is coming along great bro! But a quickie, I want to do the fogs myself, how did power them? Wire them up to the parking lights or what??

Put in the radio and the system.....its BUMPING HARD!!!!

the climate control and screen come together pretty well, looks good

you need to ditch that steering wheel now

I know Im looking for an after market one, but its still a budget build. I've seen some nice ones. Just had to buy my son some new school clothes. Kid is growing too fast. The DCC wiring came out good with the you links I posted. I need to change the bulb to a blue led eventually so the whole interior matches. I will post picks of the complete interior tomorrow or soon had to re do the panels.

Small up date just installed the 350z twin electric fans and got rid of the belt one. It works very well BTW,

what the interior looks at night.

Car's looking good! I like the ride height.

How hard was it to install that DCC?
