Got some fitment issues up the front. 20 * 8.5 +25 rims.

The wheel is physically too large in rolling diameter and is rubbing on the top suspension arm. So I need to hit the drawing board.

Anyway the test fit...

What are you guys thinking? Improvement or not? I am going to slam the car back to the ground with the new rims, remove the wing, and try and line up a carbon fibre duck wing and roof spoiler.

I think the new rims need a new look...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yea they look hotttt,

slam to the ground, get the duck lip if you want, but i dont know about the roof spoiler i dont really like the look of them

but definently make these rims fit and slam the car to the ground :D

what size tyre on the front?

i like it but i dont know how you'll get around the front lip been a mile from the road purely because of the size of the rim you wont be able to reduce it much.

still nice wheels an all.

ROOF SPOILERS ARE FKN AWESOME.

Yeh im worried this suspension arm might be the death of me!

I took some pics to show it. Hopefully with a 5mm spacer on the front and a stretch say, 215/30/20 on the front. But turning still might pose problems, and I think full lock is out of the question lol.

But I mean come on bulk people have fitted 20s before to 33's (all be it chromies :(), surely there is an easy solution. Aftermarket suspension arm (thats less bulky)?

Oh and the tire on the front atm is a 245/35/20 I think. I wont go that wide on the front with the new tire, which will save me some space... but the new tire will have tread aswell (where thisone is down to the wire), so i fear it will even itself out abit there!

The Cannon Exhaust is about to go though. Looking to cut the tip off and weld something a bit quieter on the end to try and get a crisper less droney note

cool lower lip on the bar man, wheres that from?? accentuates the front even more than normal...which im starting to love :)

Just Jap. Took a lil bit of trimming and adding to fit. Otherwise it aint too bad. Just replaces the factory lip. Gives it more of a sporty look to the front without looking over the top whilst keeping the strength and fit of the factory frontbar.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
