I prefer the es6 but think the es8 will look better. Not that my opinion holds any weight. I know it's a difficult choice that's my dilemma as they both suit very well. I went with the es6 originally due to this picture. Then the es8 looks like this.

5x114.3 16x7 et32 & 16x8 et32. Genuine split rims that haven't been split. One of the 7j has a small flat spot. Really unsure of value so I'll say £300 unless you guys know different. Collected from Bristol or I can courier or depending on location I could deliver.

Ye no problem, hope it helps. You're right of course as I normally have build threads on a dedicated forum to the 200sx so everyone knows the lingo. If anyone needs more info on what other Nissan models I used parts from please ask away. I'll go back through & do a bit of editing.

Not my scene but I can see the huge commitment being made here - just a point though I can't be the only one on the forum that gets lost when you track off in to code speak - RBS 13 / PS etc - to be honest most of us haven't got a clue - if you simply stated the part you sourced came off a Nissan Z350 or a Navara pick up etc it would enlighten the vast majority of us - same goes for your thread title - hope you can accept this has being constructive - good luck with the rest of the build Ye my bad I've done so many nissan projects it just runs out of me. The engine was sourced from a nissan skyline r33gtst. It's a 2.5 turbo. The ps13 is a Japanese spec car with flat headlights & square bonnet instead of the pop up headlights. It was also a saloon as opposed to the s13 which is a hatchback. It also had the option of the Sr engine which was 2 litre turbo as opposed to the 1.8 litre turbo standard in the s13 This is the standard s13 with the 1.8 litre turbo. So my car is going from the standard 1.8 4 cylinder turbo with 170 bhp to the 2.5 6 cylinder turbo from the skyline which after map will be around 380 bhp.

That pretty much brings me up to date. I have hundreds of pics of the build but these are the key ones that matter. Plans are still waiting on my tuner & for the rest of the kit to be made. Fit the kit to check quality & then fit dzus fasteners to front & rear bumpers. I've still got a few minor jobs to do like refitting the S2000 seats but minor stuff.

The car looked like this in my unit. I bought some headlights from america that are basically 4x4 options. Other than the ps13 front end which has the flat headlights, square bonnet & slightly different front wings this is now the look I'm going for. It's a narrow rocket bunny with 25mm fenders & 30mm overs with the boot spoiler. I've ordered these so hope to have them soon to sort fitment etc. I've also been busy mocking up the front bumper fitment. I'm going to use dzus 1/4 turn fittings to make removal easier. For now though self tapers will do. With this bonnet. These wings. These skirts. Eventually I'll get a carbon bonnet & bootlid but for now metal will do with some lockable aero catches.

I've also done a few mods on the exterior. It will be going for paint eventually but I want to drive it for a while 1st. Both oem bumpers had to go so first thing was a J spec bumper from magic aero. This had the smaller recess for the number plate. I had to modify the mounts to fit but it's a really good quality bit of kit. This will be sold soon though as I've since nought another kit. A guy I work for wraps cars so I gave him some trims to tidy up as they were a bit scruffy.

I've since bought an rx7 & it had some really nice honda S2000 leather seats but they sat too high in the car to be comfortable. So an afternoon with the angle grinder & some spacers & I had this. I sit nice & low & they suit the car (for now) I then took it apart painted all the brackets & dyed the seat. Massive difference in my opinion.

As the car is waiting to go to the tuner I thought I'd tidy up the interior as I'd already stripped everything out. The carpets were washed & dyed as was all the boot trim & parcel shelf. I've refitted the dash loosely as this will be in & out when the looms get hidden behind the glovebox. I also retrimmed the headliner as it was a bit tatty. I then cleaned all the seats up & refitted everything. I originally fitted the standard front seats as they are actually in really good condition.

The engine is now completely plumbed in. Modified Propshaft is fitted, coolant system is plumbed & topped up. Engine has oil, gearbox has oil. All cables are fitted. Brakes are bled & diff has oil. I need to make up a power steering line. It's currently waiting to go off for custom intercooler pipework. Then on its return it's having link G4+storm engine management & full custom engine & auxillary looms being made.
