I want to take a picture of my car and maybe someone can photo shop it so I can put the two next to each other and see which looks best. The problem would be to get paint matched the same colour as the pillar stickers.

yes it does look especially good from those angles!!! oh wait, you mean the black roof... sorry, with "angles" (angels) like that i didnt even notice the roofs of the sx's!!!

and gary - google "200sx s13", or 180sx, or something along those lines, then click on "images", and then see what you get.

you'll be surprised at the thousands of pics out there of sx's! it seems to be a popular car...

back to those angles!!!

That looks ok, not that great though.

@VC my mod was different because I already had bigger disks with the addaptor plates so it would been of no benefit to the rest of the guys here. I simply unbolted the STD ones and bolted the Z32 one on, job done.

it would have been help to me. i have both types of calipers, but standard discs. so i could do with measurements for the discs, and the adapters!!!

thanks gary!

gary - i'll give you 4 months to get those drawings to me, or hte parts if you're that way inclined, in light of the length of time i'm taking with my drawing request!

Like I said I already had the 325mm disks and adapter plates, I was using them with the stock calipers.
