onehundredoctane · 07-12-2010, 07:22 PM

starting to put the car back together, anyone know where to find the plastic clips that hold the oem side skirts on the lower rocker panel? nissan wants an arm and a leg for them and I haven' found an after marker resource for them yet. . .

anyone? Bueller?

The High & Mighty · 07-13-2010, 02:11 PM

im liking the gray paint

onehundredoctane · 07-14-2010, 10:28 PM

Ok, the car is done with paint, keep in mind nothing has been wet sanded and buffed yet, so hold off on any neg comments, it's not 100% done!

That said, enjoy the pics! I finally figured out what I was doing wrong that made all the pictures load uber small, FIXED!

93nismo · 07-14-2010, 11:34 PM

I agree! The first time direct sunlight hits new paint is magic!

I love the color choice

thefro526 · 07-15-2010, 02:13 PM

I love this color - It looks a lot like what was on my first S13.

Ahh... nostalgia.

Good work dude.

I take it your are asking if I painted it in a booth?

I personally didn't paint it, it's been too long since I painted so I decided to give up the idea of doing the paint personally. I found a local guy that worked with me on the price and let me help to make it cheaper. He doesn't have a booth just a one bay garage he works out of, but trust me, he does great work!

By no means is it ready to be driven on the street just yet, I still need a 4 wheel alignment and the lights and lenses need to be installed as well. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is dialing in the ride height, ugh.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

tricky_ab · 07-15-2010, 06:34 PM

I'm loving the colour!

ChrisS14209 · 07-15-2010, 06:39 PM

Wow beautiful Kouki

Gjohnson7 · 07-15-2010, 07:39 PM

Wow..... Inspiration. I really need to get my Kouki in the paint booth.

racebredZ32 · 07-15-2010, 11:13 PM

nice. im lookin for 1 too.

racebredZ32 · 07-21-2010, 06:52 PM

looks sic so far.. i want one so bad!!

onehundredoctane · 07-23-2010, 06:32 PM

PICTARS!!!!

still have a few odds and ends to tie up before I start driving it, overall I'm very happy with the color, I literally picked it out of a paint chip book at the body shop without ever seeing it on a car in person before. I still have some work left to do, mainly on dialing in the coilovers so the stance and ride quality are to my liking. Planning on getting 15% tint on it too after trying the 18's I have back on it, not sure what the car will look like with those wheels and the new body color but we'll see.

Hope everyone likes!

angels12 · 07-23-2010, 07:05 PM

Nice!! Great job dude

Gjohnson7 · 07-23-2010, 11:19 PM

Paint the windsheild wipers black and keep the pics coming!

onehundredoctane · 07-26-2010, 10:07 PM

Coilovers adjusted and wheels installed, still not 100% sure I like them but they look better than the stock SE's. I might go back and add a spacer to the front, looks like it's dippin in a little too much.

volkrps13 · 07-28-2010, 01:53 PM

id get some new wheels. even the stocks look better IMO. paint looks good though

^those are my previous attempts at moving these things so I can get something different, they look ok, but I know I can find something that looks better.

noticed your in NC, are you a member on carolinanissans.com???

volkrps13 · 07-29-2010, 06:51 PM

No i am not. I poke around on there sometimes. I am just not a big forum kind of person. I work construction all day and dittle with my car on the weekends. I just wrecked it so ill be looking for a new project maybe this winter.

onehundredoctane · 08-10-2010, 09:38 PM

finally got it on the road today, took it to work and snapped a few pics

onehundredoctane · 08-30-2010, 05:49 PM

Thanks to Danny for snapping some pics this weekend. I have adjustable rear toe links on order from Enjuku, after they get here I'll drive this thing more often, don't want to wear the tires out with the horrible toe I has right now. Still need moar LOW tho!

mine 4x4 S14 next to dannys bone scrapper

Josh7X · 08-30-2010, 06:18 PM

Nice. I love the Kouki front end. I have a Zenki and I'd much rather have a Kouki.

dreamin240sx · 08-30-2010, 09:16 PM

i love it man

onehundredoctane · 10-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Gold wheels have been up for sale a while now, no bites. . . in other news the car is much lower now and with the Enjuku rear arms installed and a 4 wheel alignment corners GREAT! On and off ramps, twisty roads, etc, are much more fun! I'll post some pics after this weekend at VIR for OctoberFest!
