Nomm









Also found out my body kit, if the tag is correct, is mold 46?

So I will buy front conversion lines next week, i don't NEED them, but i'd rather just play it safe you know? The rears i will use the z32 lines because your able too, at least for a little bit, and then get rid of that metal line down the road.

Also, i'll be doing the whole ebrake swap too, Just need the cables and i'll be set.

Well, I didn't get a chance to install the ebrakes today, because I have to find a shop to get the axles off the hubs. So i just install the rotors(which i'm buying new ones, but to roll around on these will do), brakes and rear calipers.

I'm ordering my lines from drift tough when i get paid Monday, also getting a new caliper Monday as well.

I also pushed my car into the street to see how my car actually sets, because my parking space is super messed up. Seeing it I want the rears lower, I'm going to lower the springs some and see how that helps.

Other than that.. I'm still waiting on my engine to come back :[

Well, didn't really do much today, i mounted up my intercooler and installed some of my dash, but mainly got my pass side skirt on right and got my dads 472 jimmy running.

Got more stickers? lol

I got one of the limited edition jimmy up stickerss.

Cluster in, dash bolted in and did some wiring for my new gauges and such.



Got the tow truck running "lets make sure 4 wheel drive works"

also, sense i couldn't find just ONE z32 caliper, i had to shell out for two, i got a super deal(100 shipped) for two 26mm calipers with no hardware, figure i'll buy the pins and stuff at nissan, because they still sell them. :D and get all new pins for my calipers, then get hawk pads for the front, and keep the ones i have now in the rear, because they're brand new.

also, sense this isn't much of an update, i have moved the front rims for the first time sense i parked the car like 5 months ago. i was soo happy nothing hits or rubs. :D

Not sure how I've missed this whole build, it looks like it's coming along nicely.

Good wheel choices!

Yeah, I love the way the kit looks. I'm hoping my engine is complete Monday when i go to pick it up, when i talked to him two weeks ago he said hell have it done by monday, so lets see, if not i'm going to stab him. :/

Yeah I wouldn't ever be able to do that either LOL. Good call.

^^he's right though. You can't send your engine to a mechanic who keeps it around for months that's like a friggin time warp trap! If you find another person then I'd say give him an ultimatum.

Okay, i awile ago i ordered 10 sun auto ground wires(i'm using them for my 300zx and my dads truck, so i got a lot lol) and i was bolting a few down, one for the head one for the intake, as seen above ^ Where else should i ground the ka?

also decided to just fix my harness, so i spent a few hours today re doing it all up nicely.

also got a pair for free, 5 lug 17x7 +40, decent for burn offs i guess. lol
