CURRENT(Fall 2015):

First off, apologize if anyone gets lost in this build as i have had her for a few years and no build thread to keep me motivated. So this will be a trip down memory lane to current This is the start of Nissan-dra, I've decided that this will be my finale car build so i've been taking my sweet ass time with this chassis (and this build thread).

changed out the N1 exhaust with a RSR Ex-mag sounds so much better. added 17x9, Q45 brakes, Fortune 500 coilovers

Nice. What offsets are your wheels and what tire size are you running? How do you like the Q45 brakes and the Fortune Auto coils?

Smooth · 05-31-2015, 01:24 AM

the fn01rc rims are 17x9 +20 offset wrapped in 235/40-17 feddies. q45 brakes hang in there damn well. no fade, a great bite and feel for a fraction of the cost of z brakes. the fortune coils have been awesome, stiff but very smooth,they where the first gens. USA rebuild, you cant beat that!!

Since she was running amazing it was time for ascetics. I decided to stick with pop up headlights and not go silvia like everybody else with a coupe.

the throw out bearing started to make some noise and long story short i had to pull the 20 to send it to a machine shop. while it was out it was time for upgrades. Repainted the valve covers, added a hks bb turbo, hks boost controller put the stock clutch fan back in, added a LED light to my rad 9K shift knob.
