Why did you spray the car before you did the cage because parts of it will have to be brought back to care metal for welding........! And its gonna be a bitch taping up the whole car instead of jus the cage....!

Sounds like a plan..
After listening to what peoples opinions are I've accepted that its best to work with what you have, and then upgrade what you notice to be lacking..
I've always had this pre conception in my head that if it doesnt have adjustable arms it isn't really good etc etc,
but the way i see it is its all extra, the car will still be good without them, so you may aswell work away and upgrade them as you get used to the car, as not only will it make the car better, but you will be able to understand how each set of arms changed the cars feel. and then you will know for future what a car needs.

To True lad wel spoken. i always taught i needed the best of everything done to the car before it would be ready to drift but she drift away fine now so step by step is the best way to do i. as you grow the car wil need to but all in time

And if people can drift BMW's and volvo's etc with their idea of a standard subframe, i think nissans are miles ahead from the off :p

Yea, and at least then you will be able to tell the diference once you change them.

Said id post these in ere to

Wen i got my Rotas they were touchin my rear arches like crazy,
they are 17x9 et30 on the front and 17x9.5 et30 on the back
had a set of 25mm spacers already on the car so opted to leave
em on the car. was goin to get rear overfenders but much rather
the flared arch luk.

So got onto the Famous jh who called an sorted my arch problem
no paint or body damage flawless work as always by john
