Not sure if you've got many options near you but some Tint A Car stores do it

Clear paint protection film will do the job nicely. It's not cheap, but worth it if you've got paint worth protecting.

Seems much easier to order from here

Are you running in classes that strictly restrict you to the CAMS tyre list? None of my local events care, only state-level competition. I'm a big fan of the NT01s for long-lasting tyres that work from cold.

They'd both have the same outer barrel with 172mm dish and they'd both look the same sitting next to each other.
The "disk" changes the thickness of the centre where it bolts to the hub, you'll need to choose based on which offset will give you the fitment you're after as well as giving brake clearance. The 18x13.5-26 R-disk will sit 1" further outwards than the 18x13.5-1 O Disk, giving a lot more room for the calipers. The R disk would extend 70mm further outward than your Enkeis.
This is 18x11-8 O Disk BBF finish (147mm dish).

maybe they trap heat? dont know really, i read its something got to do with laminated and tempered glass.
This is pretty much it. Tint retains heat. Toughened/tempered glass is treated to 600 degrees so will handle the additional heat load fine. If it's laminate glass (like your windscreen) then heat builds up on one half of the glass more than the other causing differences in expansion and the glass cracks. Tint shops aren't interested in the liability for the sake of $50.
If your sunroof is etched in one corner with "toughened", "tempered" or "TF-A" you'll be fine. If there's no marking I'd be cautious.

I did mine recently in a light grey. I was going to use matte but the gloss is easy to clean and easier to buy as well. The dash and rear parcel shelf are still black to maintain reduce glass reflections.
-
As much as I'd like to keep these they're just not suited to a track car.

Total, Impul and Nismo logos are all available in vector format on Brands of the World so that will save the sign company a stack of time. Calsonic you can just retype using "Nissan" font.

Unreal. Good luck with the next goal, would be an amazing feat to get the outright fastest radial GTR while still using the H pattern box too.

You'd be unlikely to be able to pick the difference between a T15, 18 or 20 so go with whichever company is more reputable and has a better warranty (materials AND labour). Once applied to you windows the darkness will actually be 25% less anyway due to the green glass (ie. a T20 film will actually be 15% light transmittance).

I've got a few items available due to upgrades. Can negotiate postage (except on heavy/bulky items) or delivery to SEQ for fee.
Enquiries by PM, email [email protected] or PM for my mobile number
1. HSD Coilovers to suit S14/15. Only done approx 6000km and in very good condition. Fitted with 7/5kg spring rates but also comes with a pair of 8kg springs. Very nice on the track and street, only selling due to upgrading to Ohlins coilovers.

Are you willing to purchase from O/S?

I picked mine up, looks perfect.

No, the loophole was closed years ago.

1:34.6 so far, going great guns.

Payment details available yet?

Nitto NT-01s are similar to the R888s (reviews I read rated them higher), I paid $285ea including shipping from the US for 255/40/17. They're very quiet on the street and I don't have to worry about heat-cycling, but of course they're not going to be as quick as RE55s/Dunlop D03Gs/Federal FZ201.
Modifying My Car Trailer
in Fabrication

Seems to me that there would be too much friction to get the strap tight over the front and rear tyres (with sticky tyres anyway). With the 4 ratchets positioned as per the top photo, accessing them would be difficult and the height of the ratchet itself would be too tall for the ground clearance of most race cars.
On my previous trailer I used choker straps which worked very well. There was still a lot of friction to overcome on a single sticky tyre. My new Tilta came with it's own over-the-tyre system.
