Swapped my S-Techs on Tokico Blues with my friends blown Teins HE's (3 shocks are blown and 2 have cracked lower collars!) Only temporary until I order my Stance GR+'s (Stance was like on national backorder or something until next week lol)

Picked up a black hood (my red one had dents) I really like the contrast with the black hood tho, everyone I ask agrees with me so far



Got eBay tails $118 shipped ...if only my car had a new paint job to compliment them



I just had my friend finish my rear strut brace (painting it either a dark bronze, or gunmetal)



Now for the wheels! Guy I bought them from said his friend was stationed in Japan and got them off a 69' Skyline (I believe he said 69, but they aren't OEM so doesn't really matter)

^^^ 15"x6.5" +22 offset, guess no one will have to ask me what my wheels specs are

In pics only fronts had spacers but now I have 6mm spacers in front and back (1.5" spacers all around would be alot nicer but I'm happy for now) Nice part is they are lighter than my steelies, best part is they are lighter than my freakin spare tire

I also picked up a front strut bar from Jonnie Frazz

^^^Not my engine bay just didn't want to walk outside to take a pic

Also picked up a used Nismo Powerbrace, Powered By Max Subframe Collars, and made my own version of the RPSport Subframe Support Brace zer...r-s13

I'll update again after I go to a skidpad event on the 18th/19th of next month

Forgot a few other pics

Classic angle shot

Pulling into my garage

Yup frame rail like 1mm from ground pulling in garage (rubs when I'm driving it in)

I raised the car up an inch tho, front tires are too small, my power brace hits everything unless I super angle it and even then it usually still does. (all pics are the Teins as low as they would go)

blown dampers aren't fun... and cracked collars sound horrible. If it were my car, I'd take the bus to work... lol. Be careful man...

those wheels don't look half bad. I don't know who the make is... Never seen them before... but you can make them look way better with some 20mm spacers.

You don't have struts in the rear... so that bar doesn't really do anything.

Thanks for playing.

Those wheels look hot! You may wanna consider getting a spacer for the rear wheels or is it I'm not looking at right? Nevertheless, your ride looks nice.

Rear brace painted (may get a darker bronze)

Borrowing a pair of 1" Spacers until I can order my own set, running them in the rear wheels sit soo flush it's awesome!

But when I pop my trunk and ppl see that man brace it's gonna make em weak in the knees lol. Plus he said it will be able to tie in with a full cage if I ever go that route (just a DD/weekend car for now)

Typed the name into google and I think the third link was a yahoo auction in japan for a set of white 14" versions of your wheels.
