LOL. Last time I knew anything about this car you had painted it pink. The pink fish =O

I think it's safe to say that this car has come a LONG way.
Way sweet dude.

Update:

Mostly was waiting for parts this last few weeks. Got a lot done...
J30 Axles came in
Ichiba front 5 Lugs came in
and ontop of that been doing a shit ton of work to get things in place so forth...

Finally cut the passenger side Toe Rod off... took forever.... and 3 blades


Waiting to get a fitting pressed into the BMC.... (as of today) to get my drivers-side brake working.


Ichiba 5-Lug fronts came in...




Got the Front Calipers painted, and installed, including the Stainless Steel lines... (thanks for the painting help Alicia)













Still need to put the rear valances back on... hehe...

For right now it sits pretty high for quite a few reasons. I am utilizing Z32 rear uprights for the moment, my Z wheels also need to be spaced in the rear they are hitting the rear springs/strut I could adjust the suspension more but I still need wheel spacers regardless so i'll just do everything at once. I may also switch the 5 lugs in the rear to the 240sx rear spindles/hubs, as of right now i'm using Z32 spindles/rear hubs in which I have to use the Z32 uprights, but I didn't like how everything went together.... so soon as I get my drivers side hub/spindle back from a friend i'll convert the Z 5 lugs to the 240sx hub, and put my KYB's and springs back on which will tuck the rear.... Lastly the interior is ready for paint just waiting on money.

Anyways a lot more then this was done but this is all I got pictures of mainly.

Yes it is.
==========

Thank you for all the compliments.

==========

Been a little bit since I last updated so i'll try and sum up all the work...
or like always you can read through it via my build thread http://www.touge-cor.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=270

==========

* Rear brake hardline fixed (had a pinhole in the old one)
* Most external trim pieces replaced, or repainted and cleaned up now back on the car
* A portion of the front interior has been replaced/put in (it's temporary until I paint the interior and repair any damaged interior pieces)
* Taillight wiring fixed
* Z32 E-Brake lines and custom brackets fabricated, e-brake functioning
* Z32 drums adjusted
* 2 used tires for front wheels (mount and balanced)
* APEXI dual funnel intake filter
* Front Sway-bar and Syko sway bar spacers in
* Front upper strut brace in (temporary, going to repaint it)
* J30 Speedo and Tach into S13 SOHC Cluster Housing (Calibrated and dead on, utilized my ConZult and NissanDatascan to calibrate/confirm)

Alignment done... Need front wheel spacers and front adjustable arms
(utilizing as close to stock alignment as possible for now)

Front Left - -------- - Front Right
-1.0 Camber -1.1
6.2 Caster 6.3
0.06 Toe 0.10

Rear Left - -------- - Rear Right
-1.0 Camber -1.0
0.13 Toe 0.13


Heres some pics... not much..

Before

After




J30 Top SOHC Bottom


Few hours of fabrication... and done


I am not planning on doing much to the car this month. So... I'll post agan probably in September. I might not be coming out this fall, I'll explain later when i'm allowed to... (its nothing bad, I just agreed not to say anything for a little bit)

If I don't make it out by Fall, I will do my BEST to get out by Spring.
