Sounds like a nice set-up. Im trying to stay as simple as possible. I don't want to sink too much money into the Sr. Over the years I found simple is fun...

Stay Dorki and sell me your VSKF's for my Lexus.

I have similar alignment specs to aznevoiii. The reason for it is I drift backwards and I need maximum angle.

Q45 brakes junk yard half day $25!!! cant be beat!

[longfellow]

I personally have Q45's on my S14 and I love my brakes.

My estimate was high on purpose, but yeah they're cheap.

Not a dork. I'm a broke college student that is focusing on graduting this semester. Brakes will come in time and so will paint. I have a full time job lined up after I graduate, so until then Ill be patient

[alwaysideways14]

Ohtheirony.biz edit: yea typing on my iPod isn't easy and I'm an engineering undergrad not and enGlish major lol

yea yea I know everyone makes excuses but it's hard to mod a car when you only work full time during the summers and winter break and have to pay for tuition. The car gets me to and from school while carrying my bike and being a fun car to drive. Can't really ask for anything else...

Almost done my life story. I like long walks on the beach

/rant

[JDM Sil4ty]

^^ yea nathan i feel your pain .. except i dont have that Full time job lined up after i graduate ... haha

cant even do my motor swap or paint job cause i drive my POS to school everyday..

[noturS14]

I feel the pain add a house payment on top of school, and the car gets no real love until i graduate and get a real job

[b-s14]

From talking to him about a year ago, he used the TSX xenon projectors, E46 shrouds, and most likely Philips bulbs, Matsushita ballasts. Not sure if he used TRS (theretrofitsource.com) or not, but if you're interested check out their TSX or FX-R bi-xenon retrofit kits. If you need a retrofitter, I've done this before and they turned out great!

Wait. So, you're running -7.5 rear camber w/ an LS swap?

Others have alluded to this, but I will ask: is the sole point of your set-up for show or something? If not, it would seem logical that you get rear 50mm over fenders (at minimum) to reduce that rear negative camber. Otherwise, what's the point in having an engine swap with such awesome low end torque, but not being able to utilize it because you have shit for traction?

Not "hating" (or whatever overused, tired hip-hop cliche that was used earlier) just asking a simple, pointed question.

[Jakob]

i have a zenki too, can i join?

[OBEEWON]

He has a Porsche GT2. I think if he wants a proper set up he will drive that. It's a 240sx with a supermade kit and NINETEENS.

Clearly anyone with 19's on a 240 is not primarily concerned about too much camber.

[icedsole]

dude probably missed the nice ass porsche in the garage.

that car is probably just for fun MENT for spinning wheels. burnouts only.

lol, OK, this is what happened,

I had the car with 315 in the rear for the max traction. (to fit 315, the rear fenders need that flares). i had GOOD to PERFECT traction. the car felt like rocket.

now, I got bored of the AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR look with 315 rear tire, I went ahead with this look. I dont give a pennis about my tires, as they are easy to come by. Surprisingly after the alignment, the car doesnt spin tires as much as it did before.

Now the car is at bodyshop, getting the fender flared on front (stock metal fenders), and re-do the rears, the alignment should be straight (at least no -7.5).

This is what they call "Navan". It was an option from the Japan Nissan.
