was good to see some old faces and catch up with some of the regulars. cheers to steve for giving me a lift, and thanks to andrew to plying me with grog. ha.

excellent advice is excellent.

sms'ing you now steve. normally only on mondays. how bout you take the initiative next time eh?

lol. sounds like a deal steve. ps, not slow. i caught the big boys bus to school.

dont even get me started on the south.

bravo sir!

lol. im out in the sticks. dion is out in the sticks. im still in civilisation relatively speaking.

i want to... but no way to get there.

hes a ranga. nothing to fear.

that wasnt the only thing hanging out the apron.

thats not the impression i got when you made me breakfast this morning.

got a call from someone today, my phones a bit bunky though, so i couldnt hear shit. if youre on here, shoot me a pm.

yeah... i am, but mostly i just wanted an excuse to use that picture. 32 rims are also 5 stud last i checked. cubes are not.

holy shit, blast from the f**kin 90's! belting out a shit ton of music on itunes at the moment, and the last 3 songs it spat out were glycerin by bush, shimmer by fuel, and be quiet and drive by the deftones... f**kin hell, it was awesome. you lower your car and youre gonna have weird camber. all a part of modded car life. thankfully, camber arms are cheap. pretty simple procedure, some body shops and most wheel shops (tyrepower, wheeljerx, etc) will roll your guards for $40 a corner. basically it just involves heating the lip of the guards and knocking inner horizontal lip flush with the skin. gives you a solid half inch clearance. scrapes arent that bad. as i said, ive only ever had problems out on track, and they were solved with zip ties... you mightnt even have that problem. youre gonna scrape your exhaust and shit more than anything. andrews just being dramatic. whats your definition of 'fine'? offset is pretty simple stuff, theres a bunch of great articles out there, even wikipedia has a page on it. but yeah, places like jis are happy to help you test fit wheels to your car to see how they look, and places like adelaide tyrepower and wheelworx will be happy to give you a hand.

id consider something like this a little on the 'unreasonable' side. anything that simply requires a light roll to fit is pretty reasonable imo. im running (on the rear) a 9 +17 with less than a degree of camber and a 225/45 tyre on mildly rolled guards, ive still got enough space left in there to run a 235/45 with no adjustment, and a 245/45 with a newspaper roll. granted this is on an s14, but the space they have under the guards isnt all that dissimilar from an r33. i only ever have trouble with rubbing on my front inner guards*, and thats only ever been an issue at the track, and camber kits and the like are part and parcel when you lower a nissan anymore than what... half an inch? the factory toe and camber arms just dont have the requisite levels of adjustment need to correct geometry when you lower your car. *... okay, i also had a bit of trouble with the wiring loom, but i caught that before it was an issue, and it was an easy fix.

quick pic of the "damage" to the drivers side rear quarter; as you can see, its minor.

what about a spoon? could that be appropriate silverware for a gunfight?

a ticket on one of these... ... to here... ... should do the trick.

ill sit on the damn floor if i have to.

eeeeeasy. lol. ill miss my car, but ill just steal yours when i get bored.

235 and a bit more guard work and itd happen.

lol. youre very much against people selling their cars eh luke?

should be fun. this an 18 x 10 +12 on the 14.

meisters, yes. those plates though...
