tiwebu,

Looking good!!! Good to hear that you are back in action. What size of rims do you have? Those bolt-on spacers are massive. Yeah, you can clear z brakes with no problem with those, but you better get 17s with good offset. You don't want to have 15s after all this mods. I was wondring if Walbro 255lph makes noticeable noise. I remember someone said that it was noisy on his vert. Keep us posted.

P.S.: Just noticed that you have aftermarket side mirrors on your vert. What are they? I kinda like them minus blinkers.

I won't know about the noise of the pump for sometime, she does run right now, I haven't attempted to crank her over. The mirrors or ebay specials, I got a thing for blinking side mirrors ( to each their own). The Spacer are temps until i can afford some rims, but since she does run, I'm just going to pour money into performance, and sound

Haha!! That's cool. Let me post some pics of blinking side mirrors. I'm sure they'll show up on eBay soon or they are already there.

Where did you get the brake line from? I know PDM Racing and SPL sell brake line to fit z32 calipers. Or are they eBay special? Yeah, please show me some pics of both of them. I'm interested...

94_240sx... I mentioned my pump was noisy when I put it in. I have since discovered that the fuel tank was gunked up with rust and the strainer got clogged... after I cleaned the tank (twice) and replaced the strainer (twice).. the pump has quieted down great deal. I just hear it on start up .. like I should.. otherwise not much louder than original.

Sorry for not keeping you guys updated on this, just been hella busy, trying to get this beast running before June. My friend should be done welding my intake together , I've upgraded to UR pulley, soon will be going 60mm wheel studs all around, I got in rims not the best but cheap 17's 17x8 front 17x9 rear. I'll be powder coating these chrome. 235/40/17 front 255/40/17 rear <- Hopefully this help with the traction. God willing, I'll be droping in a 590tq rated clutch from jgycustom, also a steel one piece driveshaft and all new energy bushing. ??? Anybody know a good bikirom tuner in or close to AR?

Upgraded the 26mm Alum I had, that I thought were 30mm Alum to 30mm IronI will be sand blasting the alum and sale them so if anyone is wanting some let me know.

These are my 17 x 9 rear +38 and 17 x 8 fronts I have 20mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacer in the back. I want to run 275 in the rear and 245 in the front. They still need to be sandblasted and powercoated chrome, just waiting on my sand blaster to come in.



Sorry for the lame pics but I'm upgrading the suspension now, I just can't justifing coilovers for the type of application I have, so RSR lowering springs, better struts. I thought I had more pics on the computer, I have more up shortly. MY INTERNET IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H#LL YEAH to that
