With the rear nice and high I can bag it out on some 255 60 16's
No tire stretch here I'm going for bulge & massive 80's Rake

Maybe one day I will have the balls to Satin Black it
Note the lack of body moldings & the switch to Front guard mirrors ( something I am considering )
Edit >
Holey Crap Busy as Day
Soldered up a new wiring loom to get the reverse lights working, connected up the switch & Bam all works
My new switch however is the incorrect thread by a shitload even through the package states that it fits Z31 inc Turbo, so that will be another pain in the ass trip to the machinist to get an adapter made
Put the rear wheels on the front & Fronts on the Rear, No more steering wheel shake YES YES YES AWESOME !
so when I dropped the wheels off for balancing and picked them up a while ago I doubt they even spun them up and checked them
Semi Solid Diff mount revision 2 is a complete success, Red 90A Duro Poly sandwiched in between two steel places through bolted with M12 through bolts. Gear changes feel awesome and the rear end feels connected vs the random banging that it used to be
Car is going great except for the random exhaust leak that i can't find ( which makes the car sound like shit )
I also tried the spacers with the Factory wheels ( no pics ) even they sit really nice and flush and look much more awesome

don't black it, factory colours for the win.
I also find hiding awesome brakes under standard wheels awesome.

btw guys
they are the same wheels as mine on that satin black car, they just have center caps and are looking real sharp
so what do you guys think of the Fender mirrors ? I think its badass and really want to do it to my Z

I'm a fan of fender mirrors, just make sure they're still functional if you put them there. Also make certain that they wont deform your guards. (Having them hanging off your guards with the wind pushing on them at 200+kph will be quite a strain on the panel)
I wish to reconfigure my black-ness liking statement, if you're gonna make the car uber straight, then roll with a factory colour, but if not, then satin black ftw.
