got the wheels on

fronts sit nice flush with the guard and rears could do with 10-15mm spacers to bring them flush (maybe more) and to be lowered lots.

chef- any updates with yours yet?

I have the elctrical diagrams for them now. should make debugging them a fair whack easier. I have one with a CAN issue currently and this is going to help immensly!

(FYI they are CAN bus driven car depsite how they appear as a 'simple box'. )

Wheel and tyre specs, stat! Are they 205/40 17s?

My place looks like a wheel warehouse, got three sets of Rota RBs (16x7 +40s, Cube spec) and the Goocars for my car also arrived this week. They have tyres on them, but they're odd sizings, so I'm getting new rubber and sending it down to my local panel beater for the necessary guard massaging, then wheels/coilovers go on.

wheels are stitch precious at 17x7 +28 all round. rears could easily go to a +15 i think. and 205/40/17s for $160 for the set deilivered brand new :yes::)

chris rogers - how much to supply a cruise crontrol kit?

i looked over here but they seem pretty steep.

what were you quoted? given that I'll put the controls on the right side of the wheel and its all DBW mine probably won't be as cheap as you are expecting.

for example:

thats one we did earlier.

This is 16x7 +35 front, +15 rear....

I'll take a few snaps of the ones david (cube cars) has. there is a black one with a decent stance on it and I think the wheel sizes are similar.

thats the picture i saw.

i think it was 60000yen ish plus install.

although i was going to do the install myself rather than pay someone over here to do it.

700 + 220 fitting. its not something you really want to attempt yourself. if you want a dash light on and a car that will start and not go anywhere - by all means have a go. :)

its a local product- made in brisbane actually. :) the yen has little to do with it. the criuse unit runs on the same base as the V35 items I do.

im in japan. the equivalent ones iv seen over here are a similar price then.

i was going to see if i could use the cheaper aussie dollar to my advantage :)

This is what a 17x8 +30 looks like...

Front will need some guard pulling - when we lowered it down, it was Mexican by about 25mm...

That's the rear - reckon it will only need a guard roll if I can find a camber kit soon enough...

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
