update front 5 stud done today...

need new master as brakes are heaps soft (33 gtst all round) and bled them 3 times...

front wheels on enxt week to complete the set

exhaust gets done tomorrow morning at 9am which is actually 5.5hours away from now lol

rebuilding the driveline will begin next and more susp work

s14 hubs

s14 stubaxles

r33 rotors

r33 calipers

cefiro lower control arms with r33 balljoints pressed in (r33/s14 same balljoint taper/assembly and stub axle/hub)

dont use s14 or r33 lower control arms... extra 10mm in track can play with camber adjustment and be abitch thus i opted to use stock arms

pedders suspension charged 100 bucks for brand new balljoints to be pressed into my arms

40 a balljoint and 10 per side to press

one thing which im wondering about your setup konect is r33 dont use normal front coilovers like the silvia range... due to being irs they mount like a rear set dont they? makes me think you cant use r33 lower control arms and/or stub axle... would need to swap for s14 items

supposedly can use r32 front hubs slotted into standard stub axles also... thats what i did with my rear atleast - used z32 rear hubs slotted straight into my factory stub axle using factory drum handbrake setup... then slotted the brakes over

back on track

update on my car

5 stud completed yesterday as above... front section brand new coilovers come out of the gfs s15 and into my car tomorrow so i can have my full set back

exhaust was cancelled this morning as my guy called in sick to work so couldnt do it... rebooked for tuesday

got some interior bits i was missing today and installed - airvent surrounds etc

copped some gutter rash on my drivers side rear rim tonite at this ridiculously tight roundabout

attempted the white dial mod to dash cluster last nite

took 2 smokes straight and i had it done with all the green caps removed and reinstalled (did it in carpark whilst eating hj's as i always carry 3 toolboxes with me full of tools (just incase!))

only problem... they were a yellow tinge... so today took cluster out again and installed phillips ultravission hyperwhite/blue globes...

the cluster is now super bright - i love it... however it now has a green tinge due to the factory dials green coating... so im wondering how to fix this? it has been mentioned to use thinners on the dials to remove the green?

front rimsys should arrive this week also - already got new front tyres to stretch on when they arrive

also added some stickers today to rear quarters... pics up shortly!

s14 hubs

s14 stubaxles

r33 rotors

r33 calipers

cefiro lower control arms with r33 balljoints pressed in (r33/s14 same balljoint taper/assembly and stub axle/hub)

Yeh I have all the parts off the R33 but was planning to use the S14 front hubs and lower control arms. But it seems you say that I can use the standard lower control arms if I get the new ball joint. Correct? So then I would only need the S14 hubs for the fronts.

R33 rears bolt on apparently. Mmmm drum handbrake.

its height man dont worry... now 5 stud is on it looks a lil better... slammed at front too just needs to come down at the rear

respray is on the cards... already lined up... but unsure when... its either going to be turbo conversion or respray... i know which is cheaper (respray) but am really hanging for some power to actually use the car
