hey matt...any chance of getting another of those intercooler/radiator made up?
Like you say there are a few adaptors around now
i'm am looking at the alpha omega kit..seems good quality and bolt on kit(things are never bolt-on i know!)
http://www.ao-ps.com/
as have heard alot of bad things about the strength of the sr20 gearboxes!
Great project, car looked great before starting so cant wait to see it up and going!
Cheers
Barney
-just on a side note i hear the boxes in the n/a, and turbo versions (300zx) are the same just have different speed sensors in them any idea's if this is correct?

well wheels finally turned up. so happy with them... rears r 17x9.5 with a 4inch backspace fronts r 17x7. i was going for an FR style wheel (since Simmons closed) and found these... there custom billet's from the USA. worked out cheaper then buying Simmons especialy since the dollar is so good at the moment :)    Links fixed again.

Car looks great! Where in the US did you source the wheels from? Any idea roughly how much each rim weighs?
With regard to your image links when posting, they should look the same as below, but with the {} replaced with [] .
