What floor brackets did you end up using for the Juke Recaros? The seats look great!

Got new rear tires finally for the Fairlady. Pretty clean underneath for being 17 years old. I wonder if it was never in the rain or something similar. The paint markings from assembly are all still there.

It's worth getting some. When you use the two-bucket method, it's amazing how dirty the water is in the rinse bucket compared to the wash bucket and you see all that nasty at the bottom.

Looks pretty clean. But, you do have the snail trail of primordial ooze dripping down the subframe indicative of a blown rear differential bushing.

Not to mention pressure washing the mitt will drive the grime deeper in it

Thanks! I used Planted seat brackets and it took some modification to get it to work. The biggest issue with those seats is height. The top of the seats are 1-2 inches from the headliner

Installed my Z1 plenum spacer and flushed the coolant at the same time, didn't take it for a ride as I had to go buy a few more washers so I can get my strut bar to clear, will test drive it tomorrow

Recaro brackets are where it's at, the hell with planted. Recaro bolts right up and sit at the same height.

The SPC design just makes sense for ease of adjustment. I have Z1s, they're sturdy enough but a PITA to adjust.

Thanks for the input, for what the SPC cost I'm sure they are much more user friendly

Finally brought the ZR to it's new home from Z1 for Vortech V3 used kit install. Very glad I let them do it. Bought a new house and no FI trouble shooting experience. Jon told me they fried 2 ECUs and 1 throttle body, came out with only a Performance map for now. Completely different car at 418. Upgraded diff had me correcting after shift to 2nd with MPSSs.
