What brand of paint is that, pray tell?

Woot, nice turnout. Whatever you used, let me know. It looks really good.

Duplicolor Wheel Paint

Wheels are finished here are pics there are some minor mistakes but you cant really see them unless you look for them.

Went to check on it this morning was still drying



Wetsanding the clear coat 3500grit essentially done here




How close they match it may look off in this pic but the later pics show the difference






Tell me what you guys think

Nice. It seems to match up pretty well.

Hopefully they [Duplicolor] have a good flat black color too, cause if this used wheel deal I'm setting up doesn't fall through I'll be needing it.

Yeah, you need some black Mini-lites, Watanabes, Rewinds ect. on the S30!

You guessed it. I'm really pushing for a set of wats now and I've got two new avenues to go through that are making them a much more accessible, affordable and realistic goal.

very nice i remember se thouse on a Ma70 around here its the all white model. not sure what hes done but hes running with a 400+WHP grand national

finishing up the three other wheels as we speak. I have no aquired a job and my project is rolling foward again. On my list now is to baffle my stock oil pan maybe also make it bigger with some buldge add ons, and get a crank scraper. I thought about a windage tray to but cant decide both will be good but a windage tray is going to take some time to make. I may just go with a crank scraper (similar concept).

I found this picture of a 7M that was used on the Wangan pretty impressive if you ask me. Not only is it equiped with a windage tray but they also installed a high flowing oil pipe.

Why are you going to baffle the oil pan? planning on hard track use?

Improvement and the Stock oil pan could use it for hard acceleration and yes it will see the track on occasion.

I <3 my oil pan baffle! When Summit Point or VIR (Or Autocross calls) I find it very nessecary!

finsihed the other three wheels, moar updates coming soon sneak peak perhaps nah gotta keep the suspense up

nice stuff bro

Something came in the mail international shipping would anyone like to guess what it is?





got any idea yet perhaps?



how about now? drumroll please *drumroll*

........









Tada didya guess right?







Now i just need to get them painted to match my car

Tell me what you think!

I think they need to be painted to match your car.

time to give the girl some new legs.

I hope you got the Switch, Harness, ECU and Relay for the Power Folding mirrors, or are they Manual Folding Mirrors?

Manual Euro Folding Mirrors, i dont need another headache.

Saves weight. LOL

So i just got off the phone with my machinist, decided on keeping the stock cams, but we're upgrading the valve springs to BBC springs. Also going to have him insert timecerts into all the spark plug holes (Stripped #1 a while ago). As far as the block update, picked up a new waterpump, waiting on the oil pump. On my to do list, oil change (in 500miles), and of course block machining. Ordered a new wastegate as well to serve me until the rebuild so now i officially start saving for the rest of the rebuild now.

$1200 in the bank the rest i make minus expenses is going to the bank.

Keep checking back for more progress.

any updates?

Oh, I've got the Greddy TD06 20G bolt-on turbo if you're interested. Also, a PFC F-Con with a PNP Harness and a FCD wired in. lmk.

Did a photoshoot with a friend if that counts as an update. We took a bunch of pics so im just posting two.
