Wow Seth, that came out seriously well. Worth the time and effort, I'd say.

How is the V8 sitting in? Did you get it aligned straight, or does it do freaky things and make noises when you push it?

Really well done.

Purdy.
Im not usually a fan of 2 tone rims, but those look fantastic against your dark green.

Thanks everyone. Frank I have not installed the new diff mount yet. Thats on my list. I had to run 25mm adapters for these wheels and am considering having the wheels redrilled to match the s30 4x114.3 pattern to get the tires to fit under the fenders to eliminate the need for flares. I have some emails out to find a place that offers the service.

Drove it around a little after Alex came over and helped me bleed the brakes and install the bigger master cylinder. It absolutely rubs in the back around turns, bumps, acceleration. Fender flares will be in soon. I ordered from: jpngarage.com I plan on doing a full write up on the quality, fitment and installation to help hopefully find a solid provider of these flares. It seems that shops are hit or miss when it comes to the quality and fitment. I can tell you that their initial communication has been very good.

A beautiful day turned sour within minutes

That's what we get for living on Planet Earth.
Oh well ~ you got a free carwash, and you accomplished an on-road check of the wheel arch clearances. Not a wasted day.

A few little nicks here and there but nothing major. I am color matching these so it may be a little while before my next update.

:lol: Kid's got a future already!

I have similar pictures of my kid about the same age, washing my old Ford Exploder.
Take lots of pictures of your kids. They grow up far too fast, leaving you wondering where the time went.

See the hidden value of the Z? It helps with family bonding. :wink:

BTW, this thread already has eleven THOUSAND hits.....you really didn't need to add pictures of a cute kid to it! You have enough popularity as it is. 8)

I'll start billing for the traffic to the site :) Trust me, I take an insane amount of photos/videos of my kids.
