Looks very good! Love the body kit! Looks pretty much like the suspention settings I'm going for, I'm still missing a few parts though... Are you happy with the 6.5/4.5 ratio? So far its working out great for me.
Did your girl ever go to Finland? looks like someone I met on a plane 2 years back

haha, nah pretty sure she never been to Finland  hahah
I luv 6.5 and 4.5... i luv to feel my suspension work.. and its very easy to setup for circuit and drift work, just stiffen up the rear shocks and she will want to slide... soften them up and she will grip... its how i have always wanted it....
however... the car will be getting inbreed soon.... lined up some s13 control arms, r32 gts-t hubs, brakes and stub axles.. and will be getting some s13 coilvoers both front and rear... ill be making some custom mounts on the diff and and modify the strut tops to make them fit....
coilvoers all round, big brakes, massive lock, can run more postive wheels... so many benefits of going s13

Thanks for the comments guys!!!!
I will be taking lots of pictures of the s13 suspension conversion, but it wont be happening for a few more months, i want t otest my setup up again on the track so i have something to compare the car to.. to make sure the modification actually makes the car perform better.
I'm unsure if the rear lights are trueno or levin... but it wouldn't surprise me if they where trueno.... as this car was imported into Australia as a trueno that had front end damage!!!! it was then straightened out and a new upper and lower radiator support was put in and it was converted to levin by the previous owner...so u are right....
last night i had a problems with my radiator leaking coolant  so i pulled it out this morning and found that the radiator was resting on one of the steel power steering lines and it has slowly melted away the ally on the bottom of the tank over the past 5-6 months... pretty ironic that happened as i planned on flushing the radiator this weekend anyway... so im going to tackle that later this afternoon and tig back on some alloy and find some rubber insulation to prevent it from happening again...
cheers guys

OOh.. Love the car mate.
And those rear lights are the Trueno rear lights alright. I asked some time ago if anyone actually got them for sale. Max did have a set for sale, but the price was a bit too high. 
Wanna trade for real EU lights?

DX they are often on ebay for sale. (the lights that is)
How will you mount the R32 brakes? I was thinking of going for rx7 ones

If he is going to use S13 stuts/spindle, then the R32 brakes bolt up. It's an upgrade nissan guys do.

yeah, what daytona said, alot of the nissan parts are interchangable, so if i ever need further braking power i could run gtr brembro brakes, with massive 3 pieace rotors,
i thoguht about going rx7 as they are a simliar brake upgrade as they are slightly smaller then r32 gtst and alot thinner, how ever on sprinter struts they increase your track which pushs ur tire further away from under the ball joint...therefore effecting front end grip...
robokill where did u find the coupe led lights on ebay i can only find hatch ones????
