  4. I thought that was triple post... I had 3 notifications...
  5. they're doing some sort of 'road work' at corner of ballarat rd & mcintyre rd sunshine... didn't actually see what they're working on but it might be one of the 53 new location...
  6. I don't know them, but I used to work in Spencer St and used to park my R33 around that area, so I sometimes passed that shop while walking to work
  7. Is it Dietmar Scheide Eurostyle?
  8. anyone used westar before? they're behind bunnings in sunshine?
  9. S14 standard rotors is 280mm at the front, 258mm at the back. R32 GTR standard rotors is 296mm at the front, 297mm at the back.
  10. no worries
  11. I've got OEM front spoiler lips to go on my V35 front bumper... It's in gel coat paint, just need to be painted in factory Nissan KY0 colour. Have anyone got recommendation a good body workshop to do this around the western (e.g. sunshine) area or inner cbd? I'm looking for a body panel shop that's not cutting corner or doing a dodgy cut and shut job, rather it be done professionally with computer colour matching, even though that means I pay extra - that's ok.
  12. Basho: quote sent.. blyl: check your pm - I need your delivery details to avoid any delays...

  13. Yes, if you blow your engine during dyno test, the workshop is not responsible. Same like when you accelerate from traffic light and revving up your engine, if your engine blow, do you sue VicRoads for providing you a road to drive on?
  14. Group buy closed tonight... If you miss it next round will be sometime next month... just leave a post/pm here...

  18. Hi guys, Just to let you know I am selling my OEM 18" Rims... Link to for sale section is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fs...in-t278584.html
  19. For Sale: Melbourne pickup only - metro area (West). Hard to find 4 x V35 18" Genuine OEM rims in factory high/chrome silver finish Rim specs are 18x8" + 30mm offset all around, 5x114.3 stud pattern. No bolts provided. Tyres are practically brand new, only travelled 5000km or so, with lots and lots of treads left. Tyre sizes are Kenda 225/45R18 front 91W & Kenda 245/45R18 rear 96W. Some usual gutter rash on the rims but the rim is not bent or deformed. More on the front, rear has little gutter rash. But this can be easily fixed by any wheel/rims repairer. Asking $1000 - the tyres itself cost around $900-1000 during compliance so this is a very good deal! Hi-Res Pictures attached below...
  20. just keep in mind the wider the rims, the more it will stick out of the guards with the same offset, and you need to consider whether the wide rims will scrub the inner suspension component too. just use the rim size calculator here to check the combination that you want whether you will have any issues, and check your existing rims now and see how much clearance you got inwards towards suspension and outwards up to the guard. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp best to keep the front rims less wider than the rear since the wider the front rims, it might scrape the guard when turning. but if you don't lower the car it shouldn't be too much issue, otherwise you may shave the tyre edges, potentially making the tyre weaker, and your guard could be dented from the scrubbing. It happened on my old R33 even on 17x8" at the front, cos it was lowered 1" at the front. happened during hard sweeping corner on the race track, shaved the tyre and dented the guard lip at the point of tyre contact... the rear guard is wider so it can accommodate wider wheels at the back, so no worries. PS: from previous posts... I will keep this link handy too to calculate tyre size http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Armed with these 2 links / calculators, it will answer all your questions...
  21. it's the distance from the centre of the rims' width to the face hub. the lesser the offset do the more the wheel will stick out of the guards... I'm just speaking from legality point of view, unless you want to be defected for having an open wheeler car on the road without wheel guards (due to extreme low offset), or you will need to roll your guards a lot to clear the rims and wheels. My rear has offset +25 and in my opinion it is very close to the edge of the guard already, considering it's 9.5" wide at the back (1.5" wider than std 8") which means compared to standard +30 offset the new rims would easily stick outwards 5mm due to offset + another 19mm due to width difference = 24mm or almost an inch... still can do lower, perhaps +20 but that means after every drive over a pot hole or so you will need to clean all your rear quarter guards 'cos you'll get lots of mud splash up your car's arse....
