Damn, very nice. I looked into getting those rims but I have a 4 lug S14 and they only offered FWD offsets and nothing wide, what are your widths/offsets on your 5 lug ones?

I'm guessing that they are 17x8. Not real sure, the tires are 215-40's, I'm gonna put 225s on it when these wear out. after I push some boost to it, I'll put wider wheels and tires with different offset in the rear and make it look real serious :D

thats cool. I am running a staggered setup now and sometimes wish I had the same size for tire wear purposes. If you do get the wider rear wheels make sure your ok with not being able to rotate your tires ever.

No. I painted them. See : http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....+rims

I am going to strip them again and just go flat black though. Too many people are going gun metal.

Nice ride. I had to look at your picture a few times to figure out why it did not look like my s14. Then I finally saw the red spoiler.

I ran acroos this red one online, drove 200 miles one way to see it, LOVED it, drove back there on a monday and bought it. :) The H&Rs ride REAL good, they dont beat you to death, and the car doesnt "pogo" at all. It feels like a good factory ride, not too low where it scrapes EVERYTHING on the road ya know?? Perfect suspension for a daily car.


My color is not factory......Its Negaro Blue pearl off of the Audi s4...

Thanks for the props:D

Still a very nice car, love the color nismodave!!! I just got done replacing the front crank seal, it was leaking just a lil. That fan shroud and fan were a pain. I didn't feel like putting it back on b/c of the extra room I have without it......so, I wired up my electric fan :) Looks ALOT cleaner under there now.

ohhhhh, and as I was doing this, I had planned on installing my Underdrive pulley from ASP. Well, turns out that the stock pulley DOES HAVE A HARMONIC DAMPENER. Just remove the 6 bolts in the front and take a look at the backside of the front pulley......2 different metals seperated by rubber. You HAVE TO HAVE THIS!!! So, that UD pulley isn't going on my ride. I don't need a damaged engine!!
