Thanks dude. Just picked up some wheels and now I am looking for a BBK or Brembo set (f/r) but can't seem to find anything. Everything on the car is pretty much **** except for the brakes.....

Car should be running soon pending part delivery.

Looks like you have 4 pots in the front - what about the rear? I randomly have a set of Nissan 2 pot rear calipers if you're interested.

Picked up the SSR's today and also a full set of Brembo Grand Turismo's with 4-pot front and 2-pot rears

Update, most likely the SSR's will not fit so they are up for sale for what i paid = $900 (2 tires are good while 2 should be replaced (5x114.3, 17x8, gun-metal). I would score them an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 for condition.

Furthermore, I am now looking for 18x9's.... or trade for my SSR's plus some cash.

I have not. I picked up a Brembo GT brake kit and pondering on the wheels I want for it. Plus I think it needs a new fuel pump.

Honestly, I haven't had any time with this thing

You know my folks gave me a blu-ray player for Christmas, I guess by that logic I should let you have it for free huh?
You better sell to me for $1500... I vouched for you personally on the phone to Randy! You can't even give me the courtesy of a reach around?!

Hey Dchoi, did you ever settle on wheels? I know you got a set of SSR's but were trading. I'm looking through the R's Meeting post on speedhunters and there's an R34 with GC-010E/G. I think they'd look banging on an R32.
