Now you just need some wheels to compliment that new paint.

Looks fantastic. A bit deceiving though, you said pictures, that's just one. Get snapping!!

I suggest against turboing your car. Just keep yours clean and nice, get another platform to boost. Hell, you can pick up old z31's for nothing or even a z32 for a few grand in nice condition. Keep on mind this is coming from someone who is boosted. So much time and money which could have been better spent elsewhere, and for greater gain.

Beautiful Paint job! I recommend lowering first, then wheels, then turbo. Then axle change, then axle change, then......you get it.

hah... only one in a thousand 3rd genners who say they are "going to turbo their car" actually do it, and maybe a quarter of those actually do a good job. More VQ guys go turbo than 3rd genners, even though we have "parts support" from the Z31.

Try some 18" wheels then see how much you might need to lower it?

Titanium Edition. It's made of Titanium. Somehow the car retailed for virtually the same price as the SE (Steel Edition).

I think it does if you plan to install a new turbo.

Remember: bigger rims always LOOK great, but they usually hurt performance.
Car gets slower
Ride gets bumpier.
Braking gets worse (in the rain)

I would suggest you lower your car AND get spacers, say 10 mm all around. Both those mods will have the effect of making your 16s look bigger by filling out the wheel well. AND you keep your performance and ride pretty much.
