"Right in front of Nik's V-6" makes your car look a LOT like a R30.
I can dig the wheels.

Keep on truckin'. Haha

are you and the other abunai related?

sam31183May 3, 2007, 7:10 pm · #4

you wanting to do a 18det swap eventually? If so I can come down and help maybe when you get that far. I got a guy up in seattle that wants me to help him in like august also. BTW How did you get the ebrake button out? My brother and I put vice grips on mine and tried turning it, but it just kept turning...

NemisisMay 4, 2007, 3:51 am · #5

I see you broke your seat exactly like I broke mine! Hahahaha! So was it leaning over to dig your wallet out of your pocket at a drive through? Thats what did it for mine.

Anyway, you gatta get the wheels flipped around to face the same way man, it annoys me so much when I see that stuff. Like on early 90s T-birds, and the MkIII Supras, shit like that with directional wheels...

What are those wheels off of anyway?

Abunai S-12 DrifterMay 5, 2007, 1:29 am · #6

i didn't take the ebrake button out lol it's a drift knob to where you can push the button in and it won't engage and pull the button out a little and it engages..
the seats not broken its just tilted to take the pic but i think the camera angle was bad but idk

That would be great. I'm trying to coax my brother into loaning me $2000... He can afford it though he plays in the NFL... I just have to call him... The E-brake Drift knob went on the e brake fine. Just make sure its a S13 spec one.

hey you dont take the original ebrake button out you just put the drift button over it the way it works is its just tight enough to keep the button down not exactly extreme technology
sam31183May 5, 2007, 5:59 am · #8

I thought you took the original out. See on my brothers ae86 he took the original button out and put the back seat top button into its place and it works like a drift button.

There's quite a lot of ways to slot your rears. Many people take different approaches but it all achieves the same thing. Some people have a lot of tools and skills in their arsenal that allows them to make it adjustable, some just measure and slot.

Here's one writeup, you can can also check out other z31 forums to see how they did it
