s13's look older with the pop ups and the body style but w/ kouki aero they look way more modern

Nice plans man, I might be going with a cf hood this summer too. We probably have the same taste I'm not telling u which one i'm planning on haha.
I'm not sure if I like the non-gold paint route, your car's kinda unique with it right now but whatever you want heh.

RTRDpeng, you coming to nicofest thinger with chris? I've seen your supra on his fb posts. Gets cleaner every time.

yeah im just going with a vented hood. probably not dmax maybe dynamo if the new ones ever come out. The color inst finalized but its definitely getting it repainted this summer. the car is going through another overhaul this summer mostly suspension bushing that are just mush right now. then it will be put on the back burner and the missile project will start.

electric ganadors with blue tint glass.

Tinted mirrors are what's up. I wonder if it's easy to just tint regular mirrors...

here is a cool update cause im bored tonight...

finally finished collecting the rest of my brake set up.

refinished and painted the calipers.

I decided not to go with the 350z track rotors at this time due to money and the fact that im trying to get the car ready to drive at night moves next month. Paint is also on the back burner AGAIN....
oh well
New set up is going to be nice.

30mm 300zx calipers. front and rear
slotted and drilled rotors
300zx 2x2 u brake cables
300zx twin turbo ebrake set set up.
agency power steel braided lines.
pads are in good shape

i might need to upgrade to a 300zx brake master cylinder. but ill see how the pedal feels.

mock pic.lol
Image

i just need to get off my a** and install all this stuff....

also that hood i was talking about. It arrived.

naked
Image


i ordered fiberglass

I received carbon fiber. Okay cool lol :chuckle:

its going to be painted regardless.

Image

Yea, ive heard of a couple people not upgrading their bmc until later. They say that it still is a monumental improvement over stock but the pedal is a little soggy and after you change the bmc, it feels like a completely different car. I want those rear brakes, I think I will be in the market for those until I can get some sti Brembos
