  1. morebluewheels.jpg

    18x10.5 +15 with 285/35/18 RS3s. Needs a touch more low and my eyes still need to adjust to blue after seeing the white so long. Car is moving to Okinawa, Japan in September. So a fair bit close to you guys down under. Most likely will be repainted after arriving there.. Everything must come to an end I guess. Also going with a big single setup, 1000cc injectors.. blah blah blah.

  2. how do i subscribe to these things?

    awesome thread is awesome, you really seem to be living the dream Collen (is that a made up name or what?) except for when your burgled or the local Nuclear power plant melts down that is..

    HEY, That is my real name, given at birth. f*kushima really does suck.. I missed out on Skyline week because I am just not going to drive through there. F that. I know people that go down to f*kushima and race at Ebisu Circuit.. i just scratched it off my list completely.

    dammit! i thought he was back.

    If you ever end up reading this "Collen", i posted up a pic of your car on my tumblr and 1100 odd reblogs later, someone came back saying they're stationed at the same base as you. small world hey?

    he also mentioned some of the sharpies starting to wear out in parts :(

    post up the link!! It's not wearing out except on the top.. I never cleared the top because I always meant to add color first.. the sun has faded it some, but without any UV protection in the markers, it has been holding up amazingly well. I like the "Collen" thing.. It's my real name!?? !

    +1 we need an update man.

    Here is the update. Just bought some TE37 FZero Blues in 18x10.5 +15 as well as some Hankook 285/35/18s all the way around. Currently the car has been transformed into a factory stock R33 for out 2 year "JCI" or Shaken process.. I decided to keep it road registered as long as I could.! Pics to follow when I get the rims in the mail.

  3. Alright, so here's what I managed to do today.

    I put a caliper on my wife while she was sleeping.

    I made some new rims.

    I took off one of the stock brake assemblies to test fit the new ones. I bent the dust plate out of the way, but I'll trim it down when final install happens.

    Test fit to make sure the brackets are the correct ones with the kit. It was shipped with a 350Z installation guide, which worried me.

    That's all for now, will have installed within the week I reckon. Still trying to figure out how I can never go to work ever again.

  4. I just received in the mail Nismo G-Max replacement clutch discs and they are the wrong part number. I got 3010C-RS040 instead of RS045. Does anyone know from familiarity with the parts or experience if these two clutch discs are interchangeable? They are the same exact size, including diameter. Everything is the same on them apart from the obvious. Any suggestions? It puts me out another 1.5 weeks on the car to wait for the correct discs. If these work, then I will just install them and see how long they hold up. Purchasing an entirely new setup once they are done as G MAx is discontinued item. Thanks..

    Left is new part and right is the one out of my clutch.

  5. I drove through a rainstorm to get to the show. YOu can see people with umbrellas and such, it was a terrible day. Still keeping my eye out for a well priced pair on Xenon Headlights. They are seriously too expensive for f-ing headlights.
