Not sure if I can! My wife loves the clear ones.. I may try to swap them out. I am thinking I may like some color on the side of the car.. Heck its fathers day coming up, I think I will give it a go...Hope you guys can take a few more pics!

Look take the time and get new rockers. While the rockers themselves are pretty darn strong, why not replace everything. I think MSA sells everything in a kit for like 599 or so. It come with springs, lash pads, rockers, cam, etc. if I recall. Its better to save up and do it right, than to cut corners. So you may have to save up for another month or two, the peace of mind is worth it.

hee hee. Yeah, I have been looking around for new tires as well. guilty.

I am currently running 205/60/15's, and have been thinking of going to 195/60/15's as well. Dougs car looks great with 195/60's. The difference in overall diameter is tiny. My old A509's are decent, but are VERY old, and I think are probably a tad harder than they should be. Also, I have not had any problems of overpowering my tires an I think I could afford to lose a tad bit of width and a touch of height, without hurting anything. My goal is to run the lightest tire I can and still maintain a healthy amount of grip and handling. I will be replacing them soon, and need to make up my mind.

I am running Panasports 15 x 7 with yokohama A-509 (out of production) 205/60/15.. just for reference. OH , and I have the same red Tokiko springs and struts

its like asking what is the best producer of Vanilla ice Cream (blue bell by the way) it worth whatever people pay. Premier examples of S30's go for high 20's low 30's. Great examples go for 8-14k. Good Examples go for 5-8k. But these all vary depending on location, time of year, and the particulars of the buyer and seller. 2000 dollars for an S30 sounds great, but we would need pictures and what your goals of the car are, and how much do you want to spend in repairs.

I think it looks fantastic, and it would save the occasional curb rash or scuff from a steep sloped entrance. I say do it.

That probably indicates some contamination, be it from carbon or other things have been captured by the rings and has been dragged against the cylinder wall. It sounds like you will need at least a hone, if not a rebore.

I wish you luck buddy, but you can do a world of good searching all the local car clubs in the country. Yes I said the entire country. They usually have some of the best examples. I found my Z using the North Carolina Z club web page. Good luck!

mine are 15's as well

I think its mostly lighting...its pretty darn close. In the garage pics, you can tell its pretty spot on. Well as close as anybody can make it. Its an MSA spook.

THanks, took a bunch of pics this morning, learning how to shoot the angled spook. I think I like the low and lean shots with a 18mm lens to show the angles better.

I love your car. It is a great way to see what mine may look like with different options... Like those orange turn signals, and those beautiful wheels.

Looking forward to drive...

Bumper is bolted back up, all parts are snugged up, and this baby is ready to roll. Better shots tomorrow when I take her for a drive. Man I miss driving her. I just want to take the time to thank everybody in this thread who helped me out and gave me really good advice. For those who want to try to fit a spook on their cars, I do hope this thread serves as a tool and can save somebody at least one headache. I started from nothing, had to source the body parts, bolts and spoiler. So this should cover everybody!

THat really is a great picture!

Yeah, I will have to work on that. And I may have to increase my % done to 91% vs 90% in my signature... Carl you are, of course, correct.

Okay, I did some tweeking tonight, and I think I am getting very close.... Before tweeking.. After Tweeking.. One more after tweeking,, Put a fork in it, I am calling it done. Just have to snug up all the bolts one more time to be sure they are all a touch over hand tight and then I will put in the last two bolts in the bumper!

Tell you what, I have a full set of side indicators, I will swap them out and we can compare. I do think they get lost on the silver

Geezer, mine is an MSA as well. RP975, I cant compete with you...

do you mean the side markers on the fender Arne, or the ones under the bumper? how about a 'crazy man'? Just check'n

Geezer, you always have enlightened opinions, and I have Saturday reserved for fixing those gaps. I think your right on needing more support. The spoiler is very rigid right now when the bolts are tightened. But I agree it needs to be worked on a tad. I am using 1.25" spreader washers now, but I bought 5 more bolts and washers just in case this happened. I will start this fabricating process Saturday. I only used the 5 captive nuts that came from Datsun in my lower valance. I think it needs probably 2 more to close up the gaps.

Ah, 2 points for the 80's 'rad' reference.

Almost finished with this project. I am just about happy with the way its looking on the car. I need to do some final adjusting and shimming, but I think its looks pretty 'far out' to use the 70's vernacular. My bumper is loosely bolted up still need to wiggle it just right to get the side bolts in, but I think thats will not prove too difficult. The tricky part was getting it back on by myself. THANK GOD FOR TUBE SOCKS
