    Great work yet again Edgar! You really know how to push the "practical" flush boundaries on our Z32's mate. I've always been a strong promoter for having nice big, fat wheels on our Zeds that sit flush - yet with the "practical" camber element still there for traction and safety. So i like where you are going with this, and it looks just ....... (can't find an appropriate loving descriptive word right now, but you get the idea) :zlove:

    Keep up the good work mate! :)
     
  2. I should be having a studio shoot with it at my work this coming week. So new shots coming up for sure.
    Thanks! I've always been a promoter of flush fitments. It makes such a huge difference in a car's appearance. However, I never want to go past the point of it not being fun to drive everyday. At that point, I've done something wrong. Once the car is to a point of being an annoyance to drive, then it's time to step back and look and what you've done wrong. I still take it to the track every 1-2 months, so it has to be fun, haha.

    I'll leave you guys with this video from my last road racing event, so you guys can see she doesn't just sit pretty and do nothing, lol.

    Well said! and i totally agree, that yes you can have an awesome flush look - while still maintaining a practical camber (this is what i have tried to also achieve). Anyone can get some wild wheel offsets and just angle them in to fit the fenders, but it takes a lot of research and practice to be able to get all of this to work with the whole tyre to sit flat on the ground. So this is why i give you such accolades! Once again, well done! :)

    very nice, a great look all round!

    where did you get the 2000 spec sides from, never seen then available for sale anywhere....

    finally, i realise that you dont need a front license plate in the states, but i think the car could really benefit from having the 2 black holes filled, covered or hidden somehow, i think it would finish the front end of nicely

    Hey Edgar, cool too see you posting on the down under forum :) One step closer to getting those VB3's mounted up; picking up my 4 camber arms and 2 front tension rods tomorrow from the post office :D

    Can't say I'm a fan of the white on white though :eek: But each to their own. Still loving the fitment :D and the rim tape. saw you post it up on fb.
     
  8. My buddy who works at the dealership had them. He was going to use them on his 2 seater after chopping them up to fit, but he sold his car, so he offered to sell them to me. You can still order the skirts, it will just be very very very expensive.

    As for the front plate mounts, I'm too lazy to do all that. This is all just a demporary look until I get more power.

    Great vid!
    Your car looks to be maintaining a smooth, flat stance throughout the winding bends, and sits very level under both acceleration and braking. The perfect set-up in my estimation!
    P.S. It looks good as well, just another bonus.
    Well done mate!
     
  10. Thanks. Yeah, the car is very stable, even though I drive it very aggressive. I have to maintain as much momentum as possible through the tighter sections due to my lack of power. Being NA sucks on some of the longer straights. My coilovers definitely help keep the car very balanced, even after jumping the birms.
    Like so:
