Then before I install any of the parts I'm going to clean up the entire floor/frame and seal it up real nice and then install all the new parts so that hopefully there is no rust on the under body at all.
Front TC Brackets boxed in... Decided to make my own Nismo Power Brace vs buying one for like $250. I just have fit them on the car so I can brace them together making it 1 pc and then it'll time for Powder Coating.
Rear S14 Calipers. Went with them because they have a 38mm piston vs like 32mm so it increases the rear bias slightly. Other thing is I'll be using J30 Front Calipers and found out the J30 also uses a 38mm rear piston section so I should have the same braking bias/stopping power as the J30 and that I believe is 1000lbs heavier. So with upgraded pads/rotors/lines + my Z32 MC I should have all the brakes I'll ever need.
Next up was the rear bearings & hubs. No way I was re-using old bearings and rusty hubs
so I picked up some new bearings and decided I'd blast/coat the Hubs but they only got Tremclad as I was way to busy and wasnt switching to black just for the 2 hubs.
Then I decided I'd also Blast & Tremclad the bolts that hold the bearing assembly etc into the spindle since nothing is going back on dirty or ugly.
Forgot my camera @ home today thou so now pictures of the Hardware Finished but I also decided to tape off the bearings and coat the housings to prevent them from rusting for as long as possible but I'll get more pics up later in the week
