noice. where in canberra did you take those pics?

There's a boatramp in the carpark that's next to the boathouse restaurant.

Took me ages to find somewhere but I felt I had to take some since Siknis from CC detailed it for me yesterday!

nah you dont need GTR gaurds to make the front bar sit nicely, simply redrilling/grinding 2 wholes in the GTR reo bar (12mm to be exact) will bring the front bar foward enough to fold the sides of the bumper up to the gaurd leaving no gap and over hang :D

What does the gap with the headlights look like with this approach? Very clever by the way :)

.... but to bad for the 20 in the R32 :D

Because you never went in a properly modified example :) Should have wound up the 2535 to 240rwkws, from there and higher they start to feel decently quick :)

haha I wanted 230rwkw but yeah it wouldn't get there which just made me not want to keep it/modify anymore, especially after all the work/time I put into it with all the good parts

Most Trent (Status) could get out of it was around 215rwkw on 1.2bar, it wouldn't go any more. Drove great, had plenty of power and was fairly responsive for a 20, probably because of the cam gears but still didn't do it for me

After all those mods and money spent I could sit with my cousins stock R32 GTR, with cat back exhaust, chipped ECU and pods :D

My GTR now blows that, stock with exhaust, PFC and 14psi makes around 260kw at all 4. They just don't compare, even if it is an R33 :)

I still love it, always will! You just can't beat the look of a clean R32 with fat wheels but performance wise, you can't go past a GTR :D

That's my story

Well curse you because my XD9s look hopeless on my car compared to yours. So just bought some RE30s, hopefully they look ok, if they dont i dont care as i just want some nice light wheels that fit :D

bahaha I noticed they were for sale

Where did you get the RE30s from, are they good size/offsets?

They better look like these

Didn't you have RegaMaster wheels before, they are fairly light in decent sizes?

Yeh the Rega are an awesome wheel and the same weight give or take as my old LM GT4s. Only prpblem is the spoke design and offset of mine mean they dont clear larger aftermarket brakes. The same problem as the XD9s, fine over std brakes, not so flah without spacers if you want to run track brakes.

The RE30s are same as my XD9s, 17 x 8.5 + 30. According to Rays they are suitable for bigger aftermarket brakes on a Skyline, and have a better spoke design to clear calipers. Would love to go the sort of offset you ran on your GTSt but i need the suspension travel and gaurd clearance on the track.

LOL, yes. Next years GP i might try and steal some Rays wheels out of the Williams pit garage :)

hey guys last night i was pretty bored so i reversed my car out in the drive way and here are the ne wheels on it and yes thye are SSR PROFESSOR SP1,

they are 17+9.5 all aorund with a +12 offset, tyres are bridgestone potenzas re-01s with about 70% tread and here how the car looks now, ive just slapped them on and havnt touched it yet as i just put them on yesterday but yer they look really nice, sorry for the pics are pretty shit but will get better ones soemtime dutuing the week

they come out pretty nice but i can always get that really fat ass look by going a tyre like 275 or even 255 but i think i will stick with the 245 as they are spot on and still look fat and stocky on the gtr

car needs lowering liek big time but was going to do it tonight but i think looks liek ti will be tomrorow or wednesday but will keep yous guys informed but here is some pics of the wheels on the gtr

cheers tony

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
