I like the color on yours better. By the way where did you get the rims, and did you have to use spacers or adapters? Looks great !!!!!! potoZ 08-12-2003, 02:46 PM AllmyZs, thanks for the compliments. the rims are Motegi MR3's 17x7.5 (i think) with 215/45 Falken Ziex. i did have to get adaptors because of the offset. cant find any trick rims out there for rear wheel drive cars. i ordered them from www.modern-motorsports.com im not sure if his site is back up or not. he was upgrading it. ive tried to get on there to leave feedback about the adaptors but i cant. they are machined out of aluminum and are an exact fit for the Z hubs. i love them. Quickshift 08-13-2003, 05:36 PM Looks very nice. Like the wheels too.:D Quickshift 08-13-2003, 05:43 PM Looks very nice. Like the wheels too.:D potoZ 08-13-2003, 07:49 PM finally got some better pics today. now i have all the badging put on and lights and stuff. washed her today, looks a lot better. AllmyZs 08-14-2003, 11:35 AM Are you going to stay without a rear spoiler? This is a question I am dealing with. My Z loos great without one, I have the exact same ground effect kit as you. I dont really plan on going fast enough to where a spoiler wold make any difference. From my understanding you need to be going over 100MPH for a spoiler to give any asistance at all. Then the spoiler has to be set at a certain angle to be affective. So I probaly will go without. potoZ 08-14-2003, 06:50 PM i think im gonna remain wingless. i like Z's with spoilers, but i got attached to mine without one. i like the way it looks. Iceickle 08-17-2003, 03:26 AM Sorry if this is an obvious question, but where did u get the body kit? AllmyZs 08-17-2003, 10:10 AM You can get the kit from Motorsports out of L.A. I removed all my bumper mounts before I installed the kit to save on weight. It s a pretty easy install the kit fits really nice. It was only a couple hundred bucks. Good luck with it you will like the finished product. Iceickle 08-17-2003, 05:37 PM Do they have a URL? I love the look of that kit, if it was only a couple of hundred bucks im sure to get one icice9 08-17-2003, 05:58 PM here it is MSA (http://www.zcarparts.com) REDPRL Z 08-17-2003, 08:32 PM Nice clean paint job there...me likes! Got any pics of her under the hood and interior? Chris smoke show 08-18-2003, 09:09 PM Keep it wingless, looks good the way it is. Is the kit fibreglass? Z kWick 08-19-2003, 03:11 AM that looks so awesome!!! :D:D potoZ 08-19-2003, 05:45 AM yeah, the kit is fiber glass. i bought it from MSA. went on pretty easily. only had to shave down a couple of spots. smoke show 08-19-2003, 09:22 PM Get the jambs done too? Was the car stripped to bare metal? potoZ 08-20-2003, 05:48 PM naw, didn't do the jambs. but the car was a lighter blue than it is now so they don't look bad at all. didnt strip it down to bare metal either, just sanded and sanded and sanded, filled a few spots then primed, sprayed and cleared it. ZETA 08-22-2003, 12:44 PM Hey man your z look's great, i just had mine painted too. I have always like how blue and red look in any car. ZETA 08-22-2003, 12:48 PM Here is another pic the other look's more of an orange color. icice9 08-22-2003, 01:49 PM lol i knew i smelled fresh paint in the air at the Zs by the Bay show.... that was your car.. nice ride by the way z_lis 08-27-2003, 11:48 AM If anyone has rubber bumper covers they don't want or need anymore, I'd like to buy them. 280Zone 08-28-2003, 10:37 PM It is a Motorsports Aero kit but it isn't a couple of hundred bucks. I think they have it for $485 plus shipping. lathrop1000 08-31-2003, 11:39 AM nice looking car where did you get your rims from and what size are they? potoZ 08-31-2003, 12:42 PM they are motegi mr3's with falken ziex rubber 215/45/17. i bought them from sears. did some shopping around and they had the best price. plus i got a better deal because they had probs getting the rims and tires in on time. datsunfreak 08-31-2003, 06:29 PM Originally posted by ZETA Hey man your z look's great, i just had mine painted too. I have always like how blue and red look in any car. Funny, iw as looking at his car and wondered how it would look with just the front bumper :D Do you know if they sell the front bumper seperate? Skully 08-31-2003, 07:39 PM yeah you can buy the whole kit as a set (you save coupla bux i think) or you can go piece by piece.... heres a link to airdams only... http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=7AD1 datsunfreak 08-31-2003, 07:47 PM Thanks :D |
