five&dime Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share #110 Posted May 23, 2018 Haha! Port and polish is done or at least close to being finished and I should have pics soon. Got a Renown 130R steering wheel in leather rosso. Also got Dapper lighting LED printed board inserts for the tail lights. These things are of incredible quality and have built in switchable controllers to allow for sequential brake and turn signals. Lastly, my custom modified RB26 covers have been powder coated in wrinkle volcano stone. The stock intercooler notch has been welded up with a filler plate made of aluminum. NOS ornament plate and hardware to top it off. Fortune Auto is adding spherical bushings to the top of the rear S13 coilovers since they didn't quite line up with the S14 chassis mounts.

five&dime Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share #111 Posted May 26, 2018 Went to see my machinist. He is almost done with rough porting. Then he is going to cut the valve seats, polish everything up and then combustion chamber shaping/unshrouding of the valves. My dad met me over there in one of his 240's so I snapped a pic of our cars together too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share #112 Posted June 2, 2018 Got the front end static height set and luckily, I can run a 10-12 mm spacer up front which will greatly help with caliper clearance. My Bride seats shipped from Japan and I cannot wait to see them. One of the most exciting parts I have ever ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted June 2, 2018 Share #113 Posted June 2, 2018 That looks like lots of camber up front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share #114 Posted June 2, 2018 It's the angle of the photo. It's not that much negative camber and the camber plates aren't in yet. This is just so I know how long the shock tube length needs to be since it will be welded to the spindle. I plan on -1 to -1.5 up front and -1.75 to -2.5 in the rear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share #115 Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Seats arrived that I ordered back in February. Real Japanese Bride Stradia II gradient with carbon/kevlar backs. I chose these seats for multiple reasons. The gradient reminds me of the Z31 Shiro Recaro's, the kevlar back matches the safari gold exterior (photo below), they are super comfortable/fit me perfectly, recline and lastly, they only weigh around 22 lbs vs the stock 60 lbs. And my favorite beer, falcon smash by triple crossings compared to the safari gold 920 as well. Coincidence or fate? Lastly, a Shiro interior to show the theme I am going for. I got extra Bride gradient fabric for the door panel inserts as well. Edited June 9, 2018 by five&dime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diseazd Posted June 9, 2018 Share #116 Posted June 9, 2018 Wow.....Can’t wait to see those seats....shaping up....may change some minds about the Z31’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share #117 Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah, you won't believe the seats! They are incredible. And yes indeed, I hope to change a lot of opinions on the Z31! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share #118 Posted June 14, 2018 Test fit a seat and it's perfect. All the way down as low as could be and it fits me perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share #119 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Coilovers are in and couldn't be happier with the stance and fitment. The front will come down a hair with the engine and trans to closely match the rear. I will even be able to run spacers to fit some larger brakes!
