The motor is in, but I'm lacking time and motivation to get it finished, slow and steady wins the race, right?

I momentarily lost my mind and bought some wheels with +15 offset, so I'll need to get the guards pumped or lipped out, now sure which way to go. Lipped is far cheaper and quite rad, whereas pumped guards are most pricey but insanely rad.

The wheels are Enkei RPF1 (weak US dollar is my new best friend) in 18 x 9.5 +15 all round. Even though they're the same width all round I'll still stagger the tyre width, 235s on the front (slight stretch) and whatever the maximum width I can fit on the back, I'm thinking Federal RSR 265s would do the trick. Plus I have the adjustable camber bars in the rear so I can have the wheel sitting dead straight to get the whole tyre on the road.

There's nothing wrong with the Lenso wheels on it at the moment, except for the fact that since I bought them pretty much everybody has them now and that annoys me.

Finally fixed the rear of the car with a lip wing.



And one for everybody else who is fed up with "my family" stickers...



Also took advantage of the weak US dollar and bought some genuine Enkei RPF-1s in 18 x 9.5 with +15 offset all round. They'll go on when I decide weather I'm getting the guards pumped or lipped because they have no chance of fitting with +15 offset . Not sure which look I'm after yet.

Hey Josh, the car is looking good for a nissan hahaha....
best part is that sticker!! where did you get that?? classic!

Cheers Ty!
The sticker was from a graphics store on eBay.

The plan was to have the car driving tomorrow, but one thing I didn't consider was the extra inch deck height, so now the intake plenum hits the bonnet and it won't shut. I've ordered a new plenum with straight runners and a slightly bigger t/b and they should hopefully be here tomorrow. Also waiting on a fancy new catch can to turn up...

After that it will be many late nights of driving trying to run the motor and clutch in so I can go to the drags.

That sticker is awesome. I might have to get one for my wagon

A little bit of disappointment late in the game. The angle of the new plenum and the sheer size of the new throttle body mean I can't use the awesome catch can I had made. So now I'm back to waiting on parts to arrive. I've stopped considering the idea of a deadline for finishing the car haha, all I know is it'll hopefully be sometime this month.

The oil catch would work well in front of the front tyre, in under the front guard. or the center recess in the boot would be a good spot.

I have some contacts that play with RB's if your after anything.

The rear wing should go back on it, your going to need it.
Looking good Josh.
