If you're talkin about driving all the way to the east coast you are more than welcome. I'll get shit done eventually. Money and time never seem to be in my hands at the same time. Time to post in the FML thread for me.

If and when you do come down let me know. The LEAST we could do is meet up and bullshit. Lunch, supper, something. Even if you're just passing through to somewhere else. This goes for any of my Datsun family.

Today i put my rims on my car on the rear and i realized that it was a little bit out of the fender although almost flush.
I'll probably need to tuck tire when I get my rear coilovers but how can i do this without camvber?
My fenders are rolled. I have +12 because I heard that's what sits well and close to flush as i did.

This is somewhat what I'm looking for.
And this is pretty close to my front ride height atm.

here you guys go.
I just want to tuck but not sure how to.
Well I dont want to tuck but the coilovers are pretty low and plus, I want to make the car even height front and back and the rear well is lower so it'll take tire.

the top of page 6 shows my front ride height that i want the rear to be equivalent too.

Negative. Only thing I know about them at this point is I have a set of rebuilt SU's already mounted to the mani with the linkage and heatshield. Came with the car when I bought it but my car looks like a big model car. I have to put it together. I don't even know what size they are.

When it becomes time for me to do mine I might source one of these




As far as the wheels, they look pretty close to me. Yours vs. the Enkei Apache pictured above. Might look different because of the balloonish tires
