Hmmmm, I wonder. Just been playing with photoshop on the alloy/brake caliper side of things. I'm thinking either white calipers with my silver car colour with the 'nissan' on them painted in red/black; I'm thinking black looks more subtle and less tacky. Or... Red with a black or white 'nissan'... Any ideas???

Are these two items just for the air con. Can they be binned?

will r33 coilovers fit a zed . the fronts look like a straight swap . the rears bottoms have a single bolt fixing that looks like it bolts into the bottom of the strut . looks like it could be swapped for a forked fitting like on zed rear . anybody got any experience with these as to wether they would fit . would the top plate bolts be the same fit or is there a difference with the spacing. cheers guys andy
