Hi People..When i did my Manuel conversion.The gear i got didn't come with the speedo worm gear,any ways i got a 2nd box and have just fitted it up today only to find that the speedo cable had snapped in half (bummer) I've taken the old girl for a spin and the car feels really flat,It seems gearing is very high (280Z box) Not to worry as I'll change them over later on
Sorry for the bad photos

wheels look sweet.

I am the same re: unsure about gold centres (I have the same dilemma on my coupe with my techno racing wheels)
But gold is traditional JDM issue historically.

I am going to wait until car is finished and see if I like the colour and if it works with the external colour of the car.

My fall back position is either colour code the centres to match car or more likely gun metal grey them to match my grill & mirrors as a kind of 'secondary' accent colour

+1 for wheels! They will look sweet. Like Kitch said if you get them see how they look on the car. Can always change the colour later. Thanks again for those carbs man!
