Well considering its not a rep but inspired by him and a lot of the late 90s early 00s cars. Im not painting it black or running hot road but I am doing oem front with license cut out and r33 vents so its more like a gt-1 front.
As far as white faces, ive been on the fence about it since equips/vskf/ssr vienna plus whatever 5 spoke 3 piece wheels with white faces are hit and miss. If anything it be complete white barrel and face. Like this https://goo.gl/6aDAwz ( dont want to post non type x related pics) Really the dreamworks car is a huge inspiration also. Really want to go KP fenders but I love stock body. I just found a good deal on some underrated whels and tbh rather run those than go meister or te37. |

Please do not ruin those Z2s by doing the faces white. The original finish looks to be in great shape... why not leave them as-is?
To my knowledge Koguchi never ran Hot Road side skirts or rear valence on his car. Everyone used to say my car was a great Koguchi replica when I had the Hot Road kit on, but I think all he really had was the Group A vent on the front and some Hot Road stickers. I could be wrong though. |

Key word there is "sometimes." Had a thought about using oem quarters that are modified to look like koguchi fenders but figured it was out of the question in Japan simply because of the cost and finding a shop to do it.

9.5 +13 for the rear is perfect on stock body. |

Actually 8.5 +30 and 9.5 +38 are perfect on a stock body unless youre going for the trendy fitment look
See example of my car with specs above in 17s... |

Looking into it, think i'll keep the faces as is. Not a fan of silver but its growing on me and seeing Josephs(below) setup has changed my mind. If anything i'll paint them the darker black color and if I really want another set of white wheels i'll get some LMs or TEs
As far as front fitment, its weak but I need it. I rub with 9.5 +12 stock fender with a 225/40 with fender to tire. With the 1.5 less width and extend lca I can bring my caster further back so I dont hit my stock shaved tubs and a bit of banging the firewall area will hopefully clear perfectly. Probably need a small spacer for z32 brakes but hopefully I can slap on something small to get my fitment more out again OR eventually relip the fronts to 8.5/9s since im not really changing the "barrel" which is what im having issues with hitting the body. If I move caster up on the wheels I have now its the "lip" thats hitting the tub and the barrel clears the firewall fine at lock. Last edited by R3b; 01-13-2018 at 06:59 PM.. |

some of us prefer unpulled metal with minimal camber and meatier tires... rubber bands are weak sauce! would rather actually get all of my cars power to the ground instead of an inches worth

QFT. A more serious, more mature (as far as it goes in the import car scene haha) look.

That's my car not his. Also specs on the z2's there were 18x9 +40 front and 18x10 +45 rear. With a 25mm spacer all around making it +15 front +20 rear.

Im thinking with my 18x8s +38 with 1in extended lca I should be good. Only thing im worried about is brake clearance with the face since I have low offset faces. If thats the case then i'll ditch the extended lca and do just a spacer till lip the fronts another inch. Making it 18x9 +26 |
