I finished the R33 brake install and changed wheels to 300zx TT's. I know she's stock looking but that how I like her.

The front wheels are a little sunken in for my taste but I like how it looks as if the brakes are pushing through the wheels. I have spacers but haven't decided what look I like better. The front caliper is so close to the wheel that it just barely scrapes the raised portion of the lettering on the caliper.

I'm selling my Enkie RPF1's with 25mm, 20mm, and 15mm spacers. The wheels are nearly perfect and the tires only have about 5000 miles on them if anyone is interested.

F'N CLEAN!

i've always thought S14's should have came with Z32 wheels stock, s13's should have came with S14 Se wheels and Z32's should have a cooler wheel.

All the spacers are H&R, two of each width. I would really like to offer them the person I may eventually sell the wheels to. I'll likely list it all on ebay or something over the weekend. The wheels are +35mm and on a 240 they really need spacers IMO.

Great 240 bro and you know what I usually hate to see 300zx wheels on a 240 but it looks really good on yours... Great job man.

Thank you captain obvious. NOT the stikker on the air box but the warning stikker on the part where air is pulled in. The part that is only on s14's.

Your Kouki is uber clean!

Suggestions:

1) BRM Exhaust or Circuit Sports Exhaust2) Any plans for turbo or swap?

That's just my $0.02

Actually that's exactly what I did, it's hard to beat Duplicolor paint for those little things.

That's just my $0.02
It's my plan to turbo it this summer if I can find the scratch. I'll likely do a Greddy turbo, I know it's expensive but I really want reliability and am at most looking for 250WHP. for a 2600/2700 pound car thats plenty I think.

As far as exhaust goes I will either do the Blitz (the mild one) or BRM 2.5".

I got to figure out my priorities first though, I still want to upgrade the suspension a little more.

It's a warning about the electronics and MAF sensor I believe, haven't looked at it in a while.
