thanks man! and i am jealous of your FLCAs and knuckles! that picture is misleading. the tension rods are actually in the stock position. the holes i filled are for the ARB links and some random, unused hole. i am considering moving the tension rods inboard though.

I don't quite understand your wheel choices, as you've been on this "Lightweight" Kick but to each there own badass car non the less.

dude, it's true. i can't even explain it. i'm a sucker for those big-ass stupid wheels.

thanks for the comments folks!

i'm serious, you're in SOCAL, and finding a shop like that shouldnt be hard

or you can build me one

mad-ass · 01-08-2014, 12:19 AM

I'm happy with your wheel choices, you nicely brought out your inner ricer in you.

I am going to vote that you paint this car Porsche Amethyst Metallic. Or more fittingly the Nissan LS1 paint code.

haha, its true. if it was 3 years ago i would be putting OZ Alleggerita HLTs on the car. drifting does bad things to a person.

two40guy · 01-12-2014, 03:00 PM

DJPimpFlex · 01-12-2014, 09:26 PM

I need to come by and steal ideas from you.... Kind of making my build jealous.

ha! the green car is coming together beautifully! way over my head. i'm just trying to get on your level man.

lunarbomb · 01-19-2014, 07:52 PM

minor update:

finished making all the brake lines and rerouted the handbrake lines per xoxide's feedback.

all i have to do is make my exhaust and then i can put the car on the ground.

ill. · 01-19-2014, 09:04 PM

Amazing work dude. Good stuff.

mad-ass · 01-20-2014, 02:00 AM

on the rear brakes...

I see one open brake caliper ear lobe...what did you do?(I smell some fancy bracket pictures coming)

lunarbomb · 01-20-2014, 07:34 AM

luckily, all i had to do was poke new holes on the Z32 side of the uprights to get the wilwoods to fit. no fancy brackets required!

DJPimpFlex · 01-20-2014, 09:20 AM

Stock axles? Don't drop the clutch. I learned that the hard way.

juvi22003 · 01-20-2014, 09:32 AM

I see another clean build, i like where this is going !

xoxide · 01-20-2014, 09:42 AM

Looking great man!

Hatemy7 · 01-20-2014, 09:59 AM

lunarbomb · 01-20-2014, 11:25 AM

yeah, i was bummed to hear about your early retirement from winter jam. i'm definitely concerned about the axles and the diff. some say it's ok. others blow them up.

lunarbomb · 01-27-2014, 05:57 PM

i made some good progress over the last few days.

seat and harness in.
that is the "destroyer of progress" sitting in my seat.

then i buttoned up a bunch of loose ends, got the car on the ground and actually drove it for the first time! it was just around the neighborhood but i was pretty stoked. it was a solo trip so i don't have any pics.

still a lot to do but getting so close!

Kingbaby · 01-27-2014, 10:23 PM
