THIS IS NOT FOR A SKYLINE:

I need to borrow 4 rims and tires for a Mitsubishi Lancer. The ones that came with the car put the track off by 20mm, and also didnt have the right load rating (only 500kg not 530).

I borrowed a set off a mate of mine, but they didn't pass either, the rolling diameter was out... (They were 70s i need 65s).

This is what i am after, either to borrow stock MR lancer mags (most idea option but they must be the STOCK ones, and have the correct tire width and height), or else the specific ones on the tire placard:

185/65R14's with a load rating no less than 86 (530kg), and a speed rating of no less than H. The rim size is 5.5J.

Please get back to me asap if can help me out. THANKS!

Any one? Need to sort this out by the end of this week!

Yeah, tis a bit of a bitch, no wreckers have them, nor ezy scrap. I wish i knew some one with one, but dont atm...

The ones i borrowed from a mate had the 70's not 65's so didnt pass...

Looks like we may have to buy 4 crap cheap arse tires for this.....

Ended up buying some second hand ones with bout 90% tread for $55 a corner. bit better than $71-75 for the cheapest new ones.... Will have to do, and when we can afford it, will get nicer rims and tires for the car again.

Pack it with foam or some shit haha

I was told to put some metal flyscreen gauze stuff in the pipe somewhere where it can't be seen by inspectors and that should help muffle it more.

Just DON'T Flogggg the Carp out of it !

yes I said carp. :thumbsup: Here fishy fishy fishy...

The metal flyscreening is best and as long as dont flog it then it will not be an issue, and it is easy to clean out and remove after.

The other thing you can use is the big loop sturdy steel wool. We used that stuff in our motorbike at home for years so as not to piss off the neighbours when we road it around the yard as kids.

Heya everyone!

So I had a preemptive check done on my car for rego.

Got the over 9000 window tint removed but now I need a set of stock r34 wheels with good tread (apparently my wheels are too wide) and a stock exhaust or a quieter cannon I could buy off someone.

If anyone wants to help me out I can repay you with you favorite beverage or swing a few spendoolies your way.

So glad I got a week long permit and not just a day long one.

Wicked! I'm just going to see tomorrow if an exhaust shop can just chuck a resonator in my current system because I know one has been taken out but if I can't get that done in time...

Hey guys,

did not even notice this thread!

Does anyone have a stock or quiet catback exhaust for an R32 GTS/GTST that me and my dad could borrow for his car to pass roadworthy? We tried the steel wool trick and it still failed :down:

Cheers!

Hey all, I had some stock wheels sorted but the guy will be away on my days off (tomorrow and thursday) Does anyone happen to have a set of stock r34 rims they could swap for mine while i get my rego check?

cheers,

Andy B

Hey guys does anyone have a torque wrench I can borrow on the weekend? Me and dad are swapping the whole from suspension/hub assembly on his 32 and looking at the service manual we're gonna need a torque wrench lol.

Cheers,

Drew

    • Can you help!   Can you tell me a few places you got your Flex Fuel Kits installed in Sydney The only one I know of is Tunehouse. Thanks in advance!!!  
    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/
