Zeddophile

Yeah, really not a fan of superlites, unfortunately - although the newer style with the angular spokes are better..... Really want the 'race lace' style wheel.

I dunno, I tend to like deep rich kind of colours for a zed, like a dark gloss blue... or dark green

well, mines going to be white again.... so you can have orange

well, I know i can get most sporty tyres (including Pirelli P6000s) in 225/50 R16, which is close to stock diameter....... And that wouldn't bother me having that up the front either.... If I wanted to fill the gaurds more, it'd be a 225/55 R16, which puts the speedo 4% out (ie reads 100, actual speed 104)...

Hmmm - I was only planning to run a 225 tyre anyway, so maybe I'll get away with it - the 8 inch rim hopefully won't stretch it out much more....

Nah, I've gone off Ebay - I had the winning bid on a different set of mirrors that would have gone great on my zed, with about 10 hours to go, and the guy ended the auction. Plus, I need the money for those wheels

This is a real actors movie, but from what I can find on the net, it precedes the manga? at the end, the footage of the actors at the premiere is timestamped '92, the manga apparently started in '93?

Yeah, I was eyeing off those chrome bullets too....

I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that coilovers take up less space than stock suspension - standard suspension basically is a coilover, its just not adjustable.... can someone explain to me what the hell everyones on about with their 'coilover conversions', and why it makes a difference? As far as the rears being 8" wide, I'm at standard height, so I think I'd have to go pretty close to bottoming out to hit the gaurds...... *EDIT* just had a look under the back of my car, I think I understand the reasoning behind the coilover conversion - the spring seat must sit higher with the average coilover conversion, allowing the tyre to clear it, yes? Theres a possible fix for that, which would involve smaller overall (than stock) diameter tyres...... But I want to get slightly larger overall diameter tyres to make the gaurds look more full.... Hmmm, I can forsee King Spring Superlows and cutting and rewelding of spring seats........

http://www.justjap.com/parts_uwheels.htm The "16" Volk Rims Suit S13" at the bottom left. Offset not a problem with adaptors, nice dish, just not quite sure about the centres or fake rivets, but I think they might look alright. Will clear big brakes (Hopefully!), and price isn't too extreme.....

Rarespares have something similar on their website....

You sure that 180sx with 'R32' lights wasn't just a type x? Late model 180sx's (about '95-'96?) have round tail lights, and are badged type x..... And yes, 180sx's defintely have throwback lines to a zed.

Its going to look rather like a 180sx Type X (late model, round taillights) when you're done......

okay.... assuming that the offsets are written in the form (offset -42.5), no way. And just by looking at those, thats a massive offset, your wheel bearings would probably instantly die. As far as the tyres, yes, they're saying one tyre is badly slashed, but the rim isn't bent and the tyre isn't going flat. They're also saying (i think) that you can't claim the condition of the tyres in the auction insurance, or something like that.

I am assuming that you mean to cut right down through the curved part of the "fin" to the chassis rail, from the very top, giving you a sort of S shaped piece to weld in if viewed from the front. In this case, just cut flush along the top of the chassis, and run a weld bead along the top of the chassis rail when reattaching the new piece.

Car looks very clean mate.....

Might be good for some parts though... wonder what the bumpers are like Hatch looks screwed unfortunately..... and whats this about an LSD?

The R200 appears offset too, as one side of the casing appears almost flat all the way to the back of the diff, whereas the other side has a pronounced protrusion. This I find is the easiest way, once you've seen both. In the image below, R200 is on the left. There are one or two more photos at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/6212/diffswap/diffswap.htm if you need to see from the front, but for mine the photo below is most helpful.

divx i believe. wouldn't run in media player, but runs in divx player

pity its not subtitled.... I think there is an arcade game based off that movie, because there is one which is mountain racing in Japan, and there is a Blue S30 you see all through the demo loop, which is referred to in the game as the Devil Zed.

That depends on whether its an R180 diff under there, and whether its a 4 or 5 speed. My guess would be a 3.7 ratio R200, but.... anyways, check this: http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/GearRatios.html

don't put another globe in? Has to be a short to earth, is my guess - or wrong wattage globe...

and if your old carpets were a couple of shredded tatters?

in an MGB, wouldn't a rover V8 be a better option?....
