My S body

Nah i need some spacers for them to clear the coilovers

arghh wounder, they look fresh man!

lips for the rears NOW mr Beck look sick

Works Look Great, Whats The Specs?

The fronts are 18x9.5 et+45

Iv put the spoiler back on to cover up the rusty holes, i thought i would be getting the boot stpayed sooner but im going to have to leave it for a bit, it actually looks better with the spoiler now too imo.

Having had neglected it for so long i gave it a wash and to my suprise it came up really nice, i forgot how good the paint is. Its re-ignited my lust for it.

I finally got the wheels back today, before i could put them on i needed some spacers to get them to clear the coilovers so Ned did me a huge favour and picked up some 25 spacers to try from chris @ revit.
The spacers turned out to be a completely different pitch thread to my car, so mazda and nissan use different thread which i didnt know, or atleast they did in the 90's.

I managed to get one on enough to try a wheel on to see clearance and fitment:

(dont watch the mucky camera skills)











Im thinking i could handle 10mm more poke with the stock wings so im now in the market for some 35mm 5x114 nissan spacers

ffs

the exact wheel setup im going for (not black though it does look good satin)

^ perfection? i think so.

gonna kill it when its done aaron

so good, so so good.

this is gonna own

This.

Im glad youve finally got them wheels on mate, hows the scrubbage?? if any?

Looks Great Already! Have You Got The Rears Yet Or Are You Sourcing Them?

Cheers lads

no scrubbage yet, though i will have an extra 10mm poke when i get my spacers, the arches are untouched though so im sure il be fine.

I have the rears im just saving up for fat lips for them

damn, thats odd, i've tried them on the westons ps13 before they went on mine and they went on no fuss, i can order them up with the right threads though if you wanted to order up the 35's.

weird :s

how much for 35's?

After getting fed up with the god damn rattling boot i finally fixed it today, turned out to be simple.

Next up is finding out why the climate control and centre console buttons dont light up.

every little helps :p

Just read this all through start to finish and am loving it man... wheels will make it awesome

its those little things that make a difference, the joy when i fixed my coop window haha

Its true, just drove it to asda, feels so much more solid now that rattle has gone.

Took the climate control unit off to take it apart and clean it up, at some point in its life something has been spillled in it, the buttons are sticky and it doesnt light up.

Cleaned it all up and its all free now, still no light though, il have to get some new bulbs to try.

the hazards and de mister switch dont light up anymore either, those next

Well im really struggling to find somewhere in the UK that sells the bulbs for my climate controll and buttons, looks like im going to have to get them out and take them to maplin or somethin, see what they say.

On another note i finally got the passenger sideskirt fixed that i smashed off the first time i crashed, it broke the leading 'plate' off that attaches to the wheel arch, initially i taped it in place with some masking tape and ran some windscreen sealant along the inside but for whatever reason the sealer never went off dispite leaving it for nearly a week.
Luckily Jay webb halped me out and we plastic welded it back on then ran some epoxy resin along the join to strengthen it, its worked a treat!

Still havnt got round to fitting the skirt ^
now the snow has gone i should be able to get it on the next few days.

One of my prezzies off the gf was delayed, finally came through today:

It was suprisingly hard to fit but did it in no time:

For something so small it has made a big diff in feel, i feel like im playing some kind of D1 arcade machine when i whip it up, haha.

Unfortunately though S14 rear calipers SUCK for handbrake useage so i will be after some S13 or Z32 ones soon

After spending ages plastic welding and bondong my skirt back together i got round to trying to fit it tonight..................................fucking broke straight away as i was fitting it!!
In the end i thought fark it im going to have to buy a new one, then i thought fark it iv got nothing to lose so i broke out the drill and calbe tie's, I was trying really hard to stay away from the whole cable tied back together body parts thing but it looks 100% better than no sklirt, iv actually grown to quite like it

+ thanks to duane for the help, litterally couldnt have done it alone

i dont think it looks that bad if the car looks clean like if its got nice wheels and the bodywork is doog

Right so I got the Works on the front the other day but it didnt feel right...
I decided it was because the front was too high so iv brought it down about half an inch, IMO it has done the trick, although it scrapes the arch liners like a bitch atm, but im sure it will wear away where needed :p
