    Solid progress well done +1 get a hoist, cold concrete can F right off. I still have my creeper but unless the car is up high on stands it can be a squeeze to get it under with enough space to work.

    The current skirts are banged up and a bit big/ugly for my tastes, the rear bumper has this gnarly warp in it and the front bar is factory CA lol We each own our own cars, we are just a group of mates (15+yrs) who help each other and share the passion.
  3. No Crust Racing
    Already know they clear by miles, see earlier pic. At +10 they had maybe 2-3mm clearance which is why I went +0 for margin/more camber (at knuckle) if needed etc.
  4. No Crust Racing
    It can work when painted I think. I need a new body kit anyway, but I would ultimately like to keep the factory metal guards for some dumb reason?

    We've already discussed this "as a team" as NCR is 3 of us, my build is just most active at the moment but there's an RB30 R33 @BrendanR33 and a Weekend warrior 370z guy. the 295 comment is really about having to run semis for WTAC or any other event that requires it. I didn't think I "needed" wider guards up front, but the rear is looking very likely thought I could get away with those 50mm flares that I said I hated the look of lol
  6. No Crust Racing
    I think 10" is the minimum so I'm not surprised.
  7. No Crust Racing
    I agree, but cutting through an angle would be very fiddly and probs require more material than I have here to work with. The Kelway ones kinda take this into account a little. The slicks are only 270s but I can run p to a 295 for WTAC based on weight, but that might be pushing it on a 10" Your guards would be bigger than mine too, so maybe I do need ot just bite the bullet and slam'em in.

    Yeah I have no issues with that side of it, it's more about do I need it/will it be a benefit as it's a fair body of work. How big are your wheels? Did you "need" tubs or did you just get them like I did because you thought you would lol
  9. No Crust Racing
    NM, found them on your FB. Doesn't show me where you put everything though.
  10. No Crust Racing
    No tubs there. You got some easily accessible pics of your bay?
  11. No Crust Racing
    Well bloody hell that all sounds like a lot of work. I know it "had" about 8deg of castor in it and it "Had" -3.5 camber but the camber especially will be out now with extended LCAs (I left the lock stops off also...) What did you mean by "Obviously you've dealt with the inner shoulder on control arm already"

    This update only on SAU because forums are the best for build threads so there will always be some extra info/details etc here. Bit of fiddling last night, wheels on up front, car movable again and back on hoist trying to work out if I actually need these tubs or not, having a hard time figuring it out (tubs are a lot of work and requires removal/change of lots of stuff in the bay too). Dale reckons I need at least 75mm of travel so I can try and work back off that, a full lock to lock saw minor contact front and rear on the plastic guard liner/quarter panel/body kit but otherwise nothing major. That was all static though, not under compression. I got them as I was told I would def need them for these size tyres so maybe I am underestimating how hard the car will lean on slicks. Also, ordered gktech castor arm braces and the bar to make my own nismo power brace thing to help resist chassis movement. I am planning on having the cage come through the firewall to the shock towers also. I'm waiting on ATP to come back to me as I assume I just have to put pressure on the tub and tack it in to place, but that profile looks very different! Added pic of his completed tubs for context.

    Bingo
  15. No Crust Racing
    How bout now 😍 Just collected, the other 2 are going to a mate for test fitting.
  16. No Crust Racing
    Check the fitment on this rice boi ❤️ Could have gotten away with +20 in the rear for sure but wanted square rims and needed +0 for that epic front coilover clearance - the +20s i tested barely had 2-3mm and +10 would only work with mild camber. We'll see if we get away with those 50mm flares or wider guards - I have tubs for the front also. Oh and my LCAs went in perfect and have *perfect* clearance for tools on the swaybar/castor nuts.
  17. No Crust Racing
    Cheers, im thinking white or silver. I'd really prefer silver because that's my jam but a white car will work better with the NCR logo and some vinyls I think.
  18. No Crust Racing
    Thanks dude, I like them alot and being able yo go custom size is wicked, hopefully 0 offset fits 😅
  19. No Crust Racing
    Get hype! Box says test fit first so I'll do that before slicks go on.
  20. No Crust Racing
    Oh herro.... No glamour pics til I can get in to the office and get them out of the box, I may have already had a sneaky pic sent from inside...

    Juicy updates time. Invested in a brass wire grinder disc and got to work stripping the paint off the LCAs then put the hoist to good use and rattle canned them satin black. In traditional fashion, I rushed/went a bit hard in some spots so there will be no close ups of the runs OK 😅 Hunted around to find some new boots for the ball joint as 1 had split, the metal ring they come with is just a smidge big so it unseats when the ball joint moves full sweep, the old ones did this too. What have others done in this situation? The lip on the ball joint itself is not fantastic so I was thinking some fine gauge wire/safety wire to wrap/twist? I've also included a pic of the original boot. Also, My wheels are arriving in the office today, but I'm working from home with a sick child sad reacts all all round. I've also got a drill bit coming to do the front hubs so I can fit rotors and calipers properly. Oh and here's another head pic update, Dale said he just had to tidy up above and below where the divider meets the roof/floor.

    That was my reaction when I looked at pricing. Given I am about to replace my master, is it worth me trying to implement basic Nissan ABS? I was also under the impression it was not suitable for motorsport. I'm just going to a BM57 to match the 350z Brembos - the car has never had ABS.
  23. No Crust Racing
    The long block got a bit carried away but the rest will be budget racing at its best, No Crust if you will I looked at the ABS kit costs.... that can wait for another refresh lol
  24. No Crust Racing
    Casual updates worth 50k... you know, just casually... lol Awesome stuff mate, that ABS seems to be the hot ticket item for all the TA bois lately.
  25. No Crust Racing
    350z brembos on 2 piece HFM rotors. Did not clear old banger Volk Emu shit offset 17x8s up front. No surprise there. I sold the 17x9s as they were 4 stud.
