I just recently bought a 2002 GS300 sport design and recently did the air filter, cabin air filter, and plan on doing the front door lock actuators, front right window motor and fix the cracked mark levinson subwoofer.

Raced my mates 350z, surprisingly close imo!

And polished my headlights the other week, nice and shiny again!

Picked up these gems.
Piecing together for 19x10 on all 4 corners.
Now to refinish, leaning towards full brushed alum

ive been doing my own calipers for years on my cars got it down to a science.. Just time consuming but well worth it.. It was finally 70 outside on the east coast so just jacked up the car and took my time with a buddy and had fun. Takes alot of sanding work which is the biggest pain. When i first started painting mine i would barely sand and just paint over the old crust. It would last about 2-3 years and id have to do it again. Do it right the first time and make every caliper as smooth as you can. I didnt go crazy with the nice paint kits since its my daily so i just grabbed some black gloss caliper paint and the stickers from motogp. I used 300 grit sandpaper on each caliper for bout 30 mins or so. Thanks for the words guys

Put the summer wheels back on today (chrome 17" 7 spoke with 245 45 17's), yes, I know its March in the north, taking a chance, I will put the snows (215 60 16's) back on if I really need to. Gosh it drives so much better!

Did inner/outer tie rods last week and did left ball joint and upper control arms too.

Drives great now!

Copped the other 19x10 rear wheels so I can discard the front 8.5s - made a square set of 19x10
Introduced them to the others and tucked them in lol.
Wheels stacked to the right.
