The place where I struggle the most is hill starts without the e-brake, so I really gotta work on that.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with using the parking brake to hold the car on a hill. In fact, I'd argue that it's the right thing to do. This way, you have both feet free to work the clutch and accelerator pedals.
I will for sure be purchasing the RJM Clutch Pedal once I get used to the stock pedal. Within the next month most likely.
Currently researching what coilovers will best suit my needs - leaning towards Fortune Auto 500 True-type 11/8k Swift springs. I'll also need new wheels, I can't stand the duckfeet. They're hideous.
And here's a preview of what's to come with this build... SUSPENSION ****. I went all out, I want a PERFECT alignment. Buy once, cry once. Full SPL FUCA, rear camber arms, rear toe arms, and rear eccentric lockout kit so the arms don't slip.
Thanks guys! OEM decklid spoiler installed along with the GT-R start button from my previous car. Hotchkis sway bars will be installed sometime this weekend.
Nice stuff Zahy, I hope you got some SPL end links to go with those sways!
I vote for ditching the OEM Clutch Pedal, why even bother trying to perfect that!
Well I have some good news, just purchased the RJM clutch pedal. And I want to get the SPL end links, but I have no idea how to adjust them? I'll probably just wait until the stock end links wear out honestly. Moog end links also seek like a nice upgrade.

I'll be doing a full debadge, debating adding a 370GT emblem though since that was the plan for my old sedan. Should tie in well with the emblemless grille and JDM tail lights. Also, can you reserve 2 or 3 more posts for me in the thread? I forged to do that.

Zahy, I can only slip in those reserved spots prior to any replies being made
Maybe there's a way to do it that I'm not aware of. I'll shoot Black Betty a PM and see if it's possible.

Instead of inserting records, can you change the member ID associated with Posts #2 and #3?
So I will be placing my order for a set of SSR GTX01 19x9.5 +35 square this week. What color should I go with? Dark silver or satin black? I'm leaning towards the black mainly because the dark silver wouldn't contrast with the Graphite Shadow on the car.
The only thing I can contribute to this decision is this: black wheels can look gorgeous up close. But step away from the car, or looked at from a distance, they're just black... no matter how nice they are.

I see what you mean, and that's probably the best choice.
I placed my purchase for my Fortune Auto 500 True Coilovers today w/ 11/8k Swift springs. Should receive them in 3-4 weeks. I originally had Stance XR1 true type coils that were going on my old sedan, but I sold them after the accident and made most of my money back.
Now the debate is whether I should get 18" wheels and run a meaty tire setup, or 19" wheels with good ol' 255/40 square.
