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

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.

more random pics to come: like my bent connecting rod

Ummm........what happened here?

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.

Just took them off today, those things grip no matter what!

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