Switched to my summer tires today, so I figured I'd snap a couple pics of some stuff while doing so:

First is the tires. Went from snow tires to summer tires. Big difference in tread and tire height. I had oversized Pacemark High Traction tires (205/60/15's i think) to help lift the car over snow :p

Next up are the brake rotors. Q45 rear to 240 rear. like 2inch diff!!

and... the assembly i have to fit onto my car to make things work.

Cool pics--it's gonna feel like you're sitting on the ground w/ your normal tires/wheels on! I can't believe the difference between those and the snow tires?

what is that pic of...the assembly one. i'm assuming its to make the q45 brakes work, but those rotors are 5 lug, vs your 4 lug. does it have to do with a 5 lug swap. i helped one of my friends with that and i didn't see that part in his setup.

That's the drum parking brake. Same drum parking brake as the Z32 300ZX.

If your friend used stock brakes with his 5 lug swap, then you wouldn't see that piece. That drum parking brake is only for Q45, 300ZX, or Skyline rear brakes.

Took 2 breaker bars and a pipe extension to get the e-brake main bolt off :p

I'm redrilling the rotors to 4-lug
