New to the forum and a quick Q about wheel lug pattern...

[FeintMind]

You can't post there until you have 30 posts. But if you want to start a thread in the beginner image gallery that follows the proper members rides format (it's the only format we're strict about around here), then I can move it for you once you hit 30.

would it be alright to post a few (11?) pics up right here, or would I be violating rules?

I guess I ought to go read some of the rules stickies, but having 1000+ post over at NICO and a few hundred on CSi, I've got the general jist of things, so I haven't bothered yet,

EDIT: I am going to start a new thread in the beginner image gallery section as you suggested, and also post the initial pics here for those who have been replying/helping/asking for pics

(But if that's not cool, I'll delete them)

alright all, here you go.







Sorry about the lighting on the engine bay pic, lol. I gave her a wash finally after getting her home today and before I was done drying, dinner was ready... snapped the pics as quick as possible and ran in to a hot meal... but forgot the most important shot... so just snapped that bay shot about a half hour ago (9:20 PT) lighting thanks to my LED Lenser headlamp on wide angle, full brightness

Oh and quick explanation: The white in the hatch/trunk/cargo (whatever you want to call it) ....that's some kind of, i dont know, latex based paint? interior house paint? something like that. Previous owner was definitely not quite on the rails.

Check out that totally custom $30 upholstery job on that driver's seat. LMFAO its absolutely ridiculous but it's a million times more comfortable to sit in than the bare frame. (1- full size foam 1.5"thick mattress topper, cut into 4 strips, formed and trimmed to fit frame, 1- memory foam ergo pillow, cut into thirds, used to simulate bolsters/cushion hard or sharp points in the seat frame (Side bolsters, front of lower section of seat), 1.5 rolls of duct tape to secure foams to frame LMFAO. and 2- $2.50 fleece throw blankets to wrap it up, because I was not going to buy a $20 seat cover for that garbage. hahahaha

It's fine to post some pictures in this thread. It's the way the conversation went, so as long as it doesn't go TOO far away from addressing your questions, it's all good.

Man, you really have your work cut out for you... but I'm looking forward to seeing the progress!

Yeah, definitely a lot to be done... not planning to go TOO far into it, at least not for a while; I don't want to sink too much money into this car right away. Just enough to make it comfortable, ensure reliability and safety... after I've made it through the court proceedings and the potential breathalyzer requirement... and have properly gotten the 350z back to respectable shape I may decide to spend a little more on the CB9. only time will tell.
