Marlin

I like, but not forged.... hunting hunting forged.

I'd dearly love it mate, but it's a bit rich for me.

its an S13.... why would you stop at the gaurds? I woulda done the windows, the panels, the engine.... Thoughts lads? The dollar being strong gets these delivered at under $2k in 18 x 10.5. Weighing 8.93kg each.

On the hunt for some reasonably priced GTR quarters.... failing that, baseball bat.

Maybe I'd be better served taking baby steps? GTR front gaurds first, run the 18x9 with 265, and experiment with with bolt on spacers? I have 20mm and 15mm versions here. I remember my old 32GTR responded well to running front 20mm spacers, turned in much nicer, but was otherwise rather stock suspension-wise. It's just so tempting with Advan releasing a 295..... that's a lot of tyre!

Just shut the fark up n send me some wheels.

LOL, it's "Brij's" Captain Dickhead. And just because his name's Elvin doesn't mean he won't smack you around a bit..... ok, he wont, he's tiny.

Exactly. I've worked in the Jap Import industry and NO way would I buy a car for myself out of Japan based on auction description and a few shitty photographs. I'd much prefer to see, touch, feel any car of that value, especially perfomance cars like the GTR.

And I see you Trezy85 (Pete)..... why don't you pipe up and quite lurking mate!?!?

Did that thing even have "geometry" Harry? Seriously though, I'm hearing you all fellas, and am somewhat aware of the the possible negatives of going as wide as reasonably attainable, but, and it's a big but, do the positives outweight the negatives? I've spoken to a bit of a local "guru" up here whom designs race cars from scratch, not sedan cars though, more your open wheelers and "sports cars", and his formula is telling me I need width, more width in fact that I can cost-effectively obtain. I've never really been able to get my head around the finer points of geometry, for lack of interest if I'm honest, I'm really just a bloke who gets in and drives the thing, working around its foibles. I'm certain my 32 as it sits now (virtually stock with a set of Apexi coil overs and some camber bushes) has PLENTY of negatives, but I don't notice them, and the thing is pretty quick! I get people PM-ing me asking what setting I use or what it has, I tell them, and they tell me I'm wrong! I then go and smack them by five seconds a lap. So, I'm wondering, if I widen the track by a total of approx 80mm, and run a 10% wider tyre, leaving the geometry how it is.... will it go faster or slower?

That looks nice lol Thanks Damo..... I think you should tell Benny to jam it for a bit and come spend a month up here.... free board, food, and piss

I have JJR spacers. They are hubcentric so are a perfect fit. Depending on the width of the spacer used and the recess (if any) between the wheel mounting holes you MAY need to cut your studs shorter. Most good aftermarket wheels you'll be fine, but my 34R wheels required it.

Richard you soft fleshed office dweller, the sticker is my free mechanic/hoist/workshop so it can look however it wants! Harry, no idea mate sorry! Seen plenty, aint seen any broken ones?

Guess we'll all find out won't we

now now LOL

LOL, yeah maybe, but I plan to make the body actually go over the wheel/tyre so them they'll hate me again

You got it Dane Feel free to bring some of your hot women too you big hunk of spunk! Russ, I only put one on the front..... farkin hectik. iPhones take awesome pics.... Front, NO spacer, with a 285/30 tyre; Have you trial fitted rear yet?

track mate.... track I bolted the LMGT4's off my 34 onto it and they cleared ok. They're 10.5" +15 but are bloody 19's......

Yoki is realeasing a true man's tyre soon, 295 That's my aim! Who needs geometry when you just have an excess of tyre!

I'm not married, but will gladly get hitched if it means handing her over to you will solidify me a steer in the Rad

We should talk Russ, see eachother through this I'm thinking +15 with a 20mm spacer.... am I being silly do you think? Where can we buy SLR5000 type flares for these things?

I hate Dane too.... but will love him when we visit eachother interstate and do some car swapping

You run 100 octane Roy.... what concoction are you brewing to get that? I'm thinking a switch to E85 is on the cards, but I really want to pump it from Caltex, not store drums. I'm uncertain in the Caltex is stable enough to risk running on a mega dollar engine like an RB20?

Yeah I don't mind either way Dunc..... CAMS and their categories have no real interest to me, they're just too far behind the times. I really just want something a bit more exciting to drive. The way the car is now is rewards being smooth becasue of it's lack of power, but I want a little bit more "animal" in it Oh, and I may as well say it, I wanna crack 56's at Lakeside on semis

Haha, thats cool Mingay was trying to get me there but I had no car to run.
