Been lagging on the updates but new parts are in the works!
I finally got around to refreshing the cluster with some LED’s, I’m super happy with the results.  Before Comparison Final results I also got a good deal on some 26mm z32 calipers which I had painted brembo gold (I will be painting the nissan letters red) Just waiting on the rest of the parts to come in to slap these on. As she sits currently |

Ohhh man didn't know you had a build thread. Cool to see the back story. I was hoping to maybe see this car again in person but there was no s-chassis met held last year unfortunately.
Really cant wait to see the future updates.

Picked up the car from my painter today and I’m amazed on how much of a difference this bumper makes!
Gonna start focusing on finishing up my Z brakes and further fine tuning my suspension before I tackle the motor.

I Gathered most of my Z brake swap parts and noticed how slim the market was for rotors that were drilled for 4 & 5 lug wheels.
Put a lot of thought into just going 5 lug and went down a rabbit hole of various options. I really wanted to change the wheels but I wanted to find something special that was rarely seen on an s chassis, I remembered how much I loved kids heart when I first got into s13’s and remembered they once made wheels. I hit up a couple of local distributors but came up with no luck until I got a text that a private seller was willing to let his go BNIB. So long story short I bought them and embarked on another headache to convert my car over to 5 lug    I have 5 lug hubs on the way now I just need to get rotors and wrap the wheels in some new rubber. I was kind of amazed that my old 4 Lug VS-XX sold in a matter of 40min after posting

interesting wheel choice, but you have a good taste so I am sure it will look good!
What made you go buy a "new" KA and turboing it instead of going SR? just wondering |

 As far a the KA I decided to buy a dual cam since I have a single cam in the car right now and opted to go KA-T over SR because I would be able to go back to stock if I get popped. I really want to run a full Tomei KA-T setup which in my opinion looks great! SR's in California are definitely a gamble and don't want to drive my car around constantly looking over my shoulder  haha

I have a KA-T.
The initial cost of going turbo on a KA is lower than an SR and that's why I went KA-T. However, in hind sight. It is probably easier to go SR and keep all the emission stuff in tact to swap back.

Was finally able to collect all my z brake parts so I decided to install everything and go 5 lug at the same time.
Luckily this process wasn’t so painful thanks to the help of my friends. I ended up going with following parts to make all this happen -Ichiba 5 lug conversion -Z32 26mm Aluminium calipers painted Brembo gold -Diftech SS lines (front) -STOPTech street performance pads (front) -STOPTech 26mm rotors (front) -STOPTech S14 rotors (rear) Wheels/tires -Kids heart 17x9.5 +15 all around -Federal SS595 235/40/17 All in all I’m happy with the look but I still have to fix the ride height and get an alignment.
