Lol, its not really something to envy, with practise anyone can draw/colour as good as anyone else IMO. Plus it's not like I just started out of nowhere :thumbsup: I've been drawing for yearrrsss.

and to top it off;

flush enough for you?

no

32 on the left needs wider wheels up front, but I'm guessing he's running spacers on the back wheels to get "flush", but doesn't run them on the front because it scrubs on the guard which he cbf sorting out properly. Being a GTR driver he probably got the same width and offset front n back, without taking the extra 5 mins to do the math to get a staggered fitment or different offsets on the same widths with the same overall rolling diameter.

32 on the right needs to man up and run wider wheels all around. And roll that guard lip before it shreds his tyres.

Critique this one Shan...

no critiquing necessary... that's good fitment. Coulda gone with a nicer kit, but meh, its a 300zx, only good things on them are the AFM, throttle body, brakes and manual gearbox, so its kinda like polishing a turd when it comes to aesthetics.

That said, it is the outside facing side of a bend, which means he's running almost "krzysiu spec" suspension making it lean on the corner. post up a pic of it standing still and you'll see it needs more low.

QLD guys are usually on point when it comes to fitment and stance.

notice a trend with the cars from the US and europe? focus is on stance, and keep it simple. no big shitty over the top kits and paintjobs.

need some tips for this. i wanna go lower but not sure if there is a point

well decide if you wanna put up with sump bashing, lower control arm collecting, manhole cover/cat's eyes scraping etc, attention from cops and so on, then dump it on its guts. scraping is fixed by relocating cables, flaring fenders and bending inner guards and proper wheel/tyre choice.

stance, function, practicality. pick one.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
