Guess another update.

Still obtaining Suspension parts for the restoration. Almost have everything for the rear end. Front end I am still missing quite a bit. I think I will have everything in April or May. Hopefully haha.

Bought Voodoo13 RUCA, Rear Toe Arms and Rear Traction Rods. Love how light these are. I originally was planning on buying Powered by Max arms but watched a video showing how heavy they were and decided to opt out. Then I found out about this company.


Then I decided to get Z32 Calipers. I've always had stock calipers with autozone cheap brakes and rotors. Braking with those on the car with a RB20 was sometimes a nightmare. This upgrade was much needed. Not sure what color I want to paint them. Thinking Gold or a Dark grey. Originally wanted to go with Red but I think thats overkill. Idk.


Took a picture of all the parts I had at that time


Thennn I finally bought me some new wheels. Gram Lights 57CR
Rears are 18x10.5 +12


Fronts are 17x9 +12


As you can see I got them in different colors. I ordered them both gloss black but Mackin Industries messed up and gave me my front pair in gun blue. Thankfully I was planning on getting them Powder Coated.

Originally I wanted Advan TC3's however they only run in 18's. I only run 17/18. I looked at other 5 spoke wheels such as Work T5R, Mesiter S1R and Enkei's new PF05 but I liked the Gram LIghts 57CR the most because they looked very similar to the TC's.

So I sent them out to get stirpped and powder coated.




Now I've been tempted to paint the "rays" and "57" black but I think I might cheat with a Die Cut sticker if I give a company the dimensions or I might just leave them as is. We will See.


Lastly for this update I bought PBM Drop Knuckles.


My main goal with this car at this point is to have it as if Nissan made a Nissan 180sx similar to how Porsche makes a GT3 or Ferrari makes the F40LM. I guess more of a track version of the car. I wont be going nuts by stripping the interior or anything. I'm keeping that all in but eventually I might get a half cage for the rear end and etc. We will see....

You can see why I chose the wheel color loll.
