Yeah I've thought about the gracer skirts. If a set come up I might get em. The wheels I don't think I'll ever sell. Have recently had thoughts of doing them black so that's an option. Am also looking to getting a second set of wheels too.
Not sure on the skirts on the one I posted will have a dig around tonight see if I can find out.
I did think about black skirts but think personally looks better with skirts kept white. What do you think?
Thanks geez. Can't wait to drive the bloody thing now, so close too.
As said above I think I might keep an eye out for some, quiet rare though so could be waiting a while.
They really aren't needed mate. It's stunning as is there's only a few sets in the country iirc.

White skirts for me. The black bonnet ties in the lip so black skirts aren't needed imo
Yeah that's exactly what I think. Rear bumper would look out of place then lol. Unless you have a kouki rear bumper and do the bottom lip of the bumper and spats black. Like Mel said think the bonnet ties in well with the lip. I'm happy with how it is
100% leave the skirts white! Looks so mean as it is.
Shit, this is so good. Even like the unpainted lip, which I haven't liked on other cars.
This is so good.
No black skirts; it'll start looking like unpainted aero.
Some carbon diffuser action in the rear could balance the black/white theme though?|
Edit: also just checked Mitch's thread; you guys are both building some amazing cars.

Nash that looks sooooooooooooo freaking cool! I love it
You have done an amazing job! I would just put a kouki rear end + kouki spats...hard to find and expensive but would finish that off perfectly IMO!
Oh and a kouki wing!
Pretty much like your inspiration picture! I just find that it would complete the so agressive front end really well
don't worry skirts are staying white. like i said i thought about it a while back but after seeing a few s14s trying to pull of the look i decided against it.
yeah tbh iv also seen a few other kouki's with the same colour combo and it doesn't look as good. iv had the this vision in my head ever since i bought the white zenki 2 years ago what i wanted it to look like and its come out exactly how i wanted it too.
yeah iv had thoughts about doing splitters/diffusers etc and tbh i don't think id be able to pull one off. plus I've kinda always liked the look of a plain zenki bumper. thanks for the kind words though mate means a lot. yeah my car is nice but mitchs build is on a different level to mine.
cheers yang. i know what your saying and i do really like the look of full kouki kits with spats/spoilers etc but as i just said iv always preferred the zenki rear end to kouki. won't be to everyones taste but oh well.
Kouki front with a zenki rear is the perfect combo

Yep thats it
holy shit nash man, that looks so amazing, good on you!!
me being a total scene head i'd love to see some blingy wheels. but the nismos look sweet!
living in croydon for long time but newer saw this car b4 nice build dude
That looks the nuts mate
well I've never actually driven this car yet lol but the cars been in croydon for a few years now. used to look like this
you may have seen my old red 200sx if you lived in croydon a while. go back to beginning of this thread to see the red car .
cheers mate
not a great deal to update on sadly but got a few small jobs done over the weekend.
first up a few small packages that turned up during the week. some new spire clips to hold number plate and kouki indicators in place.
bag of number plate fixings
and finally my new indicator lights, decided to get some better quality ones this time.
one small problem with these is that the connectors are tiny compared to usual warning lights
so made up some new connectors soldered to the back of the lights.
also had to enlarge the old holes a little so they would sit nice and flush, pleased with the fitment though
back in the car and working perfectly. lights look super bright in pics, bit hard to get a decent pic of them if I'm honest.
got few other jobs done like number plates on, brake likes working, fog light working, semi wired up a horn, rear view mirror fitted, bled brakes again. also took the car for a little road test to make sure everything is all good in prep for the mot next week. everything seems to be ok apart from a couple things, 1st thing i noticed is i still have a spongy brake pedal, now thinking a bigger bmc maybe the solution but will have another tinker after the mot i think. 2nd problem is the rear tyres a rubbing pretty bad so have just ordered some smaller spacers. all in all not too bad really was nice to finally take it for a drive i must admit
Looking awesome, id say a kouki rear end with wing. And some lower skirts like some BNs
Cheers mate. Like I said before I've always preferred the zenki rear over the kouki so doubt il be changing. And the skirts I prefer to most others on the market. Like I said I might get some gracer skirts if any pop up but I'm really happy with how the car looks right now.
Dont change a thing bodywork wise. It doesnt need it.
End of.
