New to me Kouki

[Jay Shev]

Hey guys,

Well, I had a 97 Black Kouki as shown below, but some kid in an SUV decided that I didnt want that car anymore and totalled it for me. (Fast version of the story, he spun out and parked his SUV in my lane about 10-15 feet in front of me while I was traveling at 25 mph)

Insurance gave me the run around and I ended up buying a replacement Kouki. A 98 Ultra Red 5 speed, bone stock. I kept my wheels, exhaust and other items out of the black one and swapped them in here. Enjoy the pics!! Oh I also kept the sideskirts and the USDM lip. Just have to get it all paint matched (along with the nose panel that doesnt match the car. Wel, here she is all claybarred and Zaino'd up.



Here are some ****ty shots of the black one.



Well, now I need to figure out why the Z32 rotors are binding in the calipers (No pads installed yet, lol) Thanks for looking guys!

keep it away from those damn teenagers!what are your plans for it?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

VERY nice Kouki. Plans for it?

[Jay Shev]

well, right now she is on DD duty. I will be deploying again to Iraq in June, so then I will put some more TLC into her. I am going to get some coilovers, find out what the heckfire is wrong with the Z32 brakes I have, and go from there. If anything I will do a KA-T. Right now she runs so well that I dont want to even put an intake on lol. Perfect idle, perfect acceleration and everything. (154k on the clock, but still strong) No plans on selling. I dont buy cars to sell, I buy to keep. She makes a good addition to my 92 300ZX TT. Thanks for the comments guys. There is some work to do still, but it will be done I think I am going to keep the body USDM and the interior stock mainly. Too clean to ruin. Even the steering wheel is in good condition (for Texas that is nuts, lol)

IS that stock suspension on the red one??

[Jay Shev]

no, its lowered. I am not happy with the spring quality so I am going to coilover it.

very nice car. i want one

[EfiniRX7]

Im sure you have gotten this question before, but what are your wheel specs. I know they are Rota boost wheels(I think), but what are the size and offset specs. Car looks good by the way.

[Jay Shev]

They are actually Gram Light 57Fs, they are 9.5 +22 at all corners.

Nice pickup, I like the red better than the black for sure.

[Jay Shev]

You know, it seems to have worked out this way for a reason too. But I am very satisfied with this one fo sure. Just wish it had a sunroof like the black one did.

[ThuG LyFe]

nice pick up! only thing is why doesn't the red one have skirts? it's a SE from what i can see...just weird it didn't come with them.

[Jay Shev]

I am not too sure why it didnt have skirts either. But, the black one went to the auction block without them Just need to get them painted and thrown on.

They are actually Gram Light 57Fs, they are 9.5 +22 at all corners.

OK that would explain why they look good. I thought maybe there was a set of rota's that looked good. Nice car, looks super clean.
