Just thought id put a few more pics of wheels and rear lights,

The rear sits perfect i think, but the front needs to be a bit lower as the car is only on springs atm, something a set of coilovers will sort out as you can see the tire is very close to arch but surprisingly doesn't rub at all

Its also booked into get the splitter,front bumper,mirrors,handles and spoiler painted and re-lacqured.

And considering a set of IX Enkie's so i dont ruin the GTR's in winter :wub:

You need some coil overs on that looking good, think the 7 lights work really well to be fair.

Yeah i know mate, yeah but it scrapes now :shock: and dont they knock a bit?

Haha not ideal, the pug does that..stupid thing is far too low.

Rear seats in you wouldn't know they knock. Its only certain times they do and that purely down to metal top mounts which they now binned. I was going to replace the springs and top mounts and raise the height up, but rather some more focused suspension.

What you mean rear seats in? why have you removed yours? is it an easy fix like, i wanna get some bits done before i spend on suspension, like lash adjusters,belts,filters,oils ect ect.

Rear seats deaden so much noise, I had mine out for ages. They are back in at the moment. Yeah just a case of in bolting the old ones and putting new on, as I already have the springs off it would be even easier. Probably a better idea to get the serviceable parts done first

Just read this thread from start to the end the car looks awsome the only thing i would of not done is taken them other wheels off for the white ones but what a great evo indeed
