question for dauntless

[Wittkid240]

hey daunt,

i know you are quite knowledgeable and know your associated with AfterDark, was wondering if you would be able to show me a picture of you rps13 to s15 strawberry face conversion looked like and prices for it. Was also wanting to talk to you about engine options and which you felt were a good combo of price, reliability, potential and ease of install.

Thanks a lot

Has he done the conversion yet? id think so... its 3 grand plus shipping and you get to pick your own bumper.

Do you have brembo rear brakes or just rotors?

[Wittkid240]

brembo rear rotors, but soon im gonna have q45 rear brakes to go with the front. my friend is working on a design so that it will work and not have to do any changing for the e-brake.

[sultan]

why Q45 brakes and what year? it seems that Q brakes would be harder and more expensive than 300zx brakes, not to mention that they are only 2 piston front calipers and single piston rear on the 90-96 (unsure of later). although they probably do work well on your lighter 240, as they work ok on my 4000lb Q.

[Wittkid240]

yeah they do work quite well seeing that they are used to stop a lot heavier car and im not quite sure what year they are from, the 3z brakes are a little harsher than the Q45 brakes, plus they were already on the car when i bought it so i might as well stick with the scheme of things. They seem to do the trick so far

Actually, I am AfterDark. : ) It looks like a S13 Hatch with a S15 front end. : ) It depends on what bumper you use like some of the other guys mentioned. Common combo's can be found int he SR20 section. You're free to email me as well. Enjoy your day!

:drooling

sorry for whoring, but at a time like this, it's worth it..

[Wittkid240]

thanks daunt, i plan on emailing you and if you have any other pics with different ends id appreciate it highly

[lessthanjakejohn]

I'm assuming Q45 brakes are easier to find. With the Timing Chain probelms of earlier Q's they can be found at junkyards. And the fact that many people would rather have sports car brakes rather than big luxury car brakes makes them a cheaper and very nice upgrade (my opinion)
