awesome cheers dude - what tyres are you running to get that all under the arches - any modifications for them to fit or just slap them on? Lowered too?

tyres are silly at the moment. 235/35. Once these are catus, I'll be going for a 245/35. I could have just slapped them on and it would 'fit'. But I don't like rubbing the coilover body or chewing out tyres due to camber. So I have camber arms front and rear, Toe arms for the rear and lots of low. Make sure that if you want to run low, that you get toe arms, the standard arms don't cut it when you run them much lower than stock, you run out of adjustment.

cheers Nick. I'm considering going to Superlap, so if I do we'll have to catch up. Bring Liz.

Oh Scott, I spoke to Liz the other day, and she's probably not going to be able to make it to WTAC due to work, but I'll bug her to come along to one of the after-parties or something if she's not off interstate or whatever...

They're 5Zigen GN+ in 18x9.5 +12's with 245 45's slightly stretched.

Thought they'd be around that

I really want to get new wheels, the ones I want are that exact size too

Looks good.

Here's my stag now with new wheels thanks to too_much_boost on the forums.

wheels need a tidy up around the lips but will get to that later.

The wheel look good on your car.

thanks Sabbai

yeah pipster they are great sizes, they poke a bit, wouldn't be able to run "proper" fitting tyres and a decent sidewall size. Rears fit great, even towed a car on them this weekend and went fine. The fronts need the lips rolled as they scrub at the moment but nothing crazy.

sign up with photobucket and upload the photos there

then copy the link that has the [ i m g ] ____________ [ / img ] around it and past it into your post

as for coilovers BC are popular here, reasonable price, rebuildable, handle well and ride well (i don't own them, just what i've heard other ppl say)

r33 gtr will fit the front and r33 gtst will fit in the back (assuming auto)

$1300 will get you a set of new bc's

the r33 gtr/gtst combo isn't ideal as they aren't suited to the extra weight in the rear but would be the cheapest option i guess

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
