Man! the body on that thing is in amazing condition. I hope your ET swap lines up, that'd be an awesome swap. Where did you find springs for that car? Ive looked all over for my 88 and cant find anything thats not discontinued.

Hey Sarin, yeah, I drive it to work every once in a while. It has not left my driveway since I put the wheels on it though. I am still waiting on extended studs so I can add a spacer in the front. They clear now but only by like a business car width

Thanks man, I am running eibach springs for a 280zx. When I had my second gen I was lower on suspension technique springs. If I remember right you had to buy them by the pair (front or rear) but they were not super expensive.

No pictures to update with, but I finally found a 5 speed car in the junkyard. I now have all of the parts to do a five speed swap. I have the stock 5 speed out of an 84 maxima and I also have a close ratio 280zx 5 speed (I purchased this because I could never find a 5 speed maxima trans for a decent price). Just need some time to get things done.
