^Tell me one reason why op gives a damn that you think its a "gripe"

DrftKingIII · 11-19-2015, 01:45 PM

Good job. I like this. Thanks for not ruining it.

Here for the clean kouki, stayed because of the blue r32 and evo. Really nice garage! Already looks so clean and made it look really easy.

Barret-Jackson worthy. Once the wheels are restored, the car will pull a premium.

mewantkouki · 11-19-2015, 04:56 PM

Nice job. Barrett Jackson is a stretch though...

Kouki Bump...Nice thread!

R32Dragon · 11-19-2015, 09:35 PM

The SE wheels will be coming off to be used as my spare set. I'm going to swap the R33 GTR wheels from the other Nissan to the S14.

Do I spy LMGT1s back there?

Yup, LMGT2s. Going on the GTR once I get them refinished.

Reece · 11-19-2015, 10:17 PM

My bad. They look way too similar. Excited to see those on the GTR!

mewantkouki · 11-19-2015, 10:37 PM

I vote Gunmetal Grey for the GTR

STFU you "college kid" from somewhere that doesn't matter

Everyone has the same gripe that a sunroof model has less headroom that becomes a issue with any type of aftermarket seat.

Along side with any type of bolt in cage for the car where none of them are made with ones for sunroofs...

stop trying to start shit just cause you have nothing better to do living in the sticks

Its OK dude, my sunroof cant hurt you. This is an OEM patterned street car. No cages or race buckets planned. So the sunroof is fine to me. I respect your opinion though and your points are valid for you.

OBEEWON · 11-20-2015, 07:20 AM

Whoever doesn't like sunroofs doesn't like the sun coming through their roof and I feel bad for you. Because the sun is cool.

But to sidetrack back to your Skyline™, is that an F150 behind it? Those are so cool.

EDT007 · 11-20-2015, 08:13 AM

Great work! How much did the paint job run you if you don't mind me asking. I plan on getting a repsray in the spring.

Rather than feed the trolls that join this forum every now and then, ill just let the mods deal with you once they all get tired of your repetitive nonsense.

But hey, at least your post count is growing. *insert dumb blonde sarcastically saying yaaay

Op, it seems like this isn't the first project you've started so I would just recommend sanding down the light surface rust on the underchassis and using the rubberized undercoat found in most auto part stores. The factory arms are enough as long as you aren't slamming your car.

-just use that undercoat stuff

-clean up the surface rust off the arms and rattle can it black if you care to

-whatever coilovers or replacement strut/spring combo you like

-replace balljoints on all 4 corners

-replace bearings if you need

$2500 should cover that and you don't really need to go crazy down there like I did. You should be more than satisfied

Thanks for the advice. But that's already all been taken care of. No surface rust whatsoever either. Ive done alot more than the pictures reveal.
