Alrite people i think its about time i uploaded a few pictures of my Nissan
The car has been an ongoing project for nearly 3 years now..
I have included several old snaps .. And some farley recent pictures.

..
This is a picture of the car when i first got it...

It was "Spec S" when i bought it....
I was the first owner of this car.. when it arrived on Irish shores... back in 2006
It was mostly standard spec.. Additions included at the time of purchase.
"HKS" dragger stainless steel exhaust system...
"Nismo" sports shocks...
And a brand new set of geeky white "Lenzo" wheels!!!
The shocks and the wheels were fitted by the garage, i bought the car from...
Before i purchased the car...

Here is some more old pictures of the car and some of the work that followed ..

 

[DarioG]

And some more up to date "recent pictures" Lots of work to follow!!

there is some serious dish on those rears!!!

 

[DarioG]

Yep!! there sure is// There an 18x10.5 on the rear 18x9 on the front..
I actually bought them wheels secondhand in japan..
Had them bought and delivered to door for 1100 euro around 1600 dollars!!!
They took 6 months to get here " some mix-up"
But when they finally arrived the spokes were slightly oxidized!!
So i had a friend of mine do a job on them..They came back like brand new..
I now have 4x new centre caps ordered...
I bought the tyres off the same guy 4x tyres for 220 euro!
Bridgestone Potenza's on the rear/ Continentals on the front!
I'm not happy with the tyre sizes!! But for that price i couldn't complain...
And it was enough to get them on the car for the moment!!! Til i can afford to pay out for some decent rubber!!!
The car is currently off the road now!! But it has been driven like that!!!!

sorry to say this, i think those wheels spoil an otherwise great looking car. they look like they belong on a merc!!

 

[DarioG]

Ha!Are u for Real or wat!!!!
Yeh have No Class mate!!!

Ok.... i like the Jdm style.. Of course your entitled to your own opinion!
Its a long argument... And its been had before!!!!
The Wheels Are "SSR Vienna"
"Works" made pretty much the same deal And called it euro style!!
I think they look the f**king the business on the car!!!

Offset an all clearances have been taking into consideration...
Ride Height , wheels alignment and camber!! have yet to be done!!!
Thats why its off the road ....
But when its completed .... it will be functional... Grip is what u want.... On a rear wheel drive car!!!
Even if you are going drifting or on the track!!!! they are not a mad heavy wheel either"" Its an ongoing project anyway!!!
I Will have the new centre caps soon with black inserts.. I reckon it will look better.. When i get them on..
im not happy with the tyre sizes... But they will do for the moment, as its off the road¬¬¬¬
