you will need to mount the cables somewhere. either the subframe or the tunnel or both. I mounted mine on the tunnel because i ran them through the subframe

Hey what are you doing with the re-drilled 4 lug hubs that you replaced? I'm interested in them, it's either buy them from you or have a local machine shop do it, figured I'd ask you.

Well its been awhile.


The car has been sitting in my garage for about three months while I was away at school. Took it out last friday and its felt awesome. It was raining and I broke the rear a few times.

Here are some pics I took friday.

In reguards to the power situation. Just picked up a td05 18g so hopefully ill be pushing around 300whp by the spring.


If you are interested in the redrilled hubs I would like 75 for the two. Wheel bearing are in good shape you might need to play with your rotors to get them to seat perfectly. these are in no ways 100% perfect. Also if anyone needs a full set of 30mm 300zx rotors 160 shipped. 5 lug of courses.

shoot me emails if your interested.

yes. the turbo looks good from what i can tell from reviews of its use on various cars. mostly subarus and evo so im not worried. Ill probably change the oil lines to stainless while im down there and maybe get a greddy intake manifold. new wheels will be int the works as soon as i can get someone to give me $1100 for the works emotions that i have on the daily..... 18s and lip is what i want.

new specs will be

18x9+9 with a 215/35/18

18x10+19 with a 225/40/18

should fit roughly the same as my battles do right now. But I plan on lowering the rear and the front a little as well.

Perfect man. Perfect sizing on the new wheels, love the cleanliness of your car in those photos. Makes me think you re-painted it because in person last summer it looked more mis matched.
The hood looks nice and subtle being that it's a fully vented 'drift hood'. I like it a lot yo
Rockin' sleepy eyes yesss, high five lol!

You're still going, while I slowed my build :( What's wrong with mehh? :confused: lol. Oh probably old man winter.

+1 WC gold cars almost always look like they're for grandpa's, but this one's clearly boss.
