xs240	my car kicked some serious ass on track, looking for updates on yours	04-24-2009
xs240	updates man updates, my car is being taken out tomorrow one more month until track here	04-08-2009
ReDs13SiLvIa	NICE,GOD LUCK =D	03-05-2009
xs240	the last two pix with the chouki front end look pretty low to me? I gotta talk to u been a while, just waiting for winter to pass by, got those issues to sort out then im out on track... i gotta get different spring rates... since we run so similar setups its nice to advise one another. The konis are nice definitely but the spring rates are too much what i chose.. i wana make sure i get the right length and tender springs to go as low as that front and rear... u saw the pic of how mighty 4x4 my car is lol cuz i dun have tender springs and due to length of them... I can probably help you with the editing of the video btw...	02-19-2009
racepar1	Actually it's pretty high, I used to have it lower. I have a video, but I don't have any way to edit it.	02-19-2009
xs240	How much lower than stock is it now? Looks pretty low actually. I like it, I want to make mine as low. You REALLY REALLY need to make videos man...	02-18-2009
racepar1	I made a nice chunk of change on the deal, it sounds badass as all hell, and I don't have to run a silencer all the damn time. What's not to like?	02-18-2009
xs240	Car looks nice but what's this espelir gt500 catback exhaust?	02-18-2009
xs240	Or this: http://www.srbpower.com/srbpower/gtauto-gt1?Make=NISSAN	01-15-2009
xs240	You may want to check this out! http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=364036	01-15-2009
xs240	I want to know more. S15? I thought you said that is the most aerodynamic. Less drag, more down, win?	01-14-2009
racepar1	I dunno, I just got tired of it. I have grand plans for the pop-up front. All the added weight will be lost......trust me.	01-03-2009
xs240	wtf happened no more silvia front end? Added weight ftl?	01-03-2009
racepar1	Pick a car that doesn't suck XB boy! Actually get the god damn 240 that I convinced you to buy running instead of buying wheels for the shitbox! Douche!!! LOL!	12-09-2008
Wookie384	Pick a fucking color! HA HA	12-07-2008
racepar1	The one on-track pic is coming off the skidpad onto the front straight at the streets of willow. Big willow is friggin dope though! You gotta try it! The car color is silver-blue metallic and it was avaialble in 1989-1990. The 1991 silver blue is darker and looks better IMO. That is actually the color that i would like to paint the car if I ever get around to paint. LOL!	11-20-2008
nismoskyz	is that a misty metallic blue you've got there? can't tell for sure but i thought they didnt have that color in '89? ... what track was that pic taken at btw, willow springs? .. been craving to take mine to a track for so long.. never actually driven on one.	11-20-2008
racepar1	ONLY because I'm getting a CLEAN one for UBER fucking cheap, with a few chioce mods!	11-15-2008
xs240	Whaa you are going for an SR?	11-13-2008
xs240	I would like to see some of those updated pix with the abflug bumper/etc...	10-19-2008
racepar1	You mean the fender braces? They are awesome! Unfortuanetly I no longer have a source for them as the US distributor of ultra racing is a flake and still owes people parts.	08-18-2008
Rogue240sx	Hey Nice setup! Reminded me of a few things I need to do to my car. How are those Door braces?	08-15-2008
tracks13	Well as per your suggestion, I just got myself a brand new unopened NRG short hub and NRG quick release 2.0 for 175.00USD shipped. Thanks for the input. Could have made mistake with the non short hub.	07-24-2008
racepar1	The wheel is a bit closer with the short hub and quick release set-up. With a regular hub the wheel is in your effin chest.	07-24-2008
tracks13	You didn't wana do a regular hub you chose a short hub? Why? Wouldn't it be beneficial to have the wheel a bit closer for more leverage?	07-24-2008
racepar1	I got the short hub from works concepts (they're an advertiser here) and I got the quick release off my buddy for extra super cheap. Hit up works concepts, they carry NRG stuff and they gave me a good deal.	07-23-2008
tracks13	NRG short hub and NRG quick release. How much and where?, I'm going to need to get it too for my steering wheel...	07-23-2008
racepar1	Just ngk replacement wires, nothing special.	07-22-2008
tracks13	you didn't mention what the sexy blue spark plug wires are	07-22-2008
a_ahmed	an idea for your car profile (that i got from another profile), make new stuff bold font so that its distinguished. I'll do that next time i get some parts	07-08-2008
a_ahmed	check your PM homie, also u need to make some videos of the car haha	06-29-2008
racepar1	A/C is for women my friend. A REAL man has no need for useless things like A/C, heater, defroster, radio, carpet, or interior! The fact that I only drive 3 miles to work in the morning and 3 miles home at night helps as well.	06-23-2008
Kougeki	Daaaaaaaaamn! No AC? You crazy Joe Rogan!	06-23-2008
a_ahmed	lol thanks for the comments bro. I can't install them until the car is ready again.. plus im missing the arms from spl, the coilovers and the z32 aluminum bushings/spherical inserts for the uprights... in either case, I want to get the chassis redone... rust murdered, stitch welded, foam filled and caged... should def increase the natural frequency of the car without adding more than say 150lbs while still being stripped out and well most of it would be to the rear so shouldn't hurt much... def need it with the higher spring rates... i dunno will see... im sad man, no car for like a month now.... ah well maybe wont get done this year.. maybe will... but its worth the wait... plan was next year for corvette motor but who knows Things going slow.. i need funds lol...	06-21-2008
racepar1	I decided to try something different because the car was a bit too prone to understeer off the throttle. We'll see how I like it soon! I think the wheel is 350mm, but I am fighting (really I am lurking untill the last minute) for a 330mm nardi classic wheel with a hub and horn button on e-bay right now. Hopefully that wheel will be for sale soon!	06-17-2008
a_ahmed	You put the rear swaybar in??? i see stock 15mm swaybar listed :O And what size is the wheel? 330mm?	06-17-2008
a_ahmed	Sexy new pix	06-01-2008
a_ahmed	Hey can you get me more info on the front wide fenders etc... and rears too i may be interested... car is parked now ... winter beater re-instated... so as I am waiting for parts to come... I will get the car gutted, chassis redone and cage done too and repainted... might as well.. my ever so older old school father convinced me haha... he has many good points... what's the point of crazy ass coilovers/etc... if the chassis is not stitch welded, caged, etc... so ... yeah I am driving the winter beater! OH MAN! So anyways let me know... I'll have to get some front and rear stuff too...	05-15-2008
a_ahmed	I can't wait to see your car's updated pics More parts came btw lol... I bought a user griffin 2 row radiator too... I am scrapping the ka-t idea, ill be patient until next year to go ls1..	05-10-2008
a_ahmed	that would be really cool from you bro I dont mind getting it Cool	05-09-2008
racepar1	The stopper is custom, I made it myself. I still need to put a couple supports in before I am satisfied. Maybe I can make you one after I finalize the design on mine.	05-08-2008
a_ahmed	i need a mbc shield and that lil mbc stopper you have...	05-08-2008
a_ahmed	Awesome, check my current list of shiznit lol... argh i cant wait till richard has my coilovers... and def finishes the spherical upright stuff... that is the last stuff i need then i can put everything on... holy crap it will be killer... and i want a mild t25/t28 kat... until i go ls1/2 next year...	05-08-2008
racepar1	I keep the mod list as up to date as possible, there are constantly small changes to that. I plan on taking new pics at my next track day and updating the gallery with those.	05-08-2008
a_ahmed	What did you just update yours with? I GOT MORE PARTS OOH SEXX.. check on nissanroadracing.com my build thread! ARIZONA Z CAR BRAKESSSSS	05-08-2008
MikeisNissan	Love the car.	05-07-2008
racepar1	Hey, WTF are you doing on zilvia scion boy!	03-27-2008
Wookie384	Voltron needs a cage. STAT!	03-26-2008
racepar1	Can't beat their prices either! Thei braces are pretty much the beefiest ones you can buy, and their is some actual engineering behind them.	03-13-2008
shade	Nice setup. Ultra Racing FTW! I love their products.	03-13-2008
