Bah!@Stockies.

I'll be out there on my good tyres, I didn't tear the last set up overly much at all especially from what everyone was saying. Although, I DID flat spot them from locking up. One thing I have to avoid this time... :)

Although Owen, you'll scrub on your guards, mine did the first time I was out, but now won't due to being raised!!! :domokun:

Haha you do remember how overley big Owens wheels are for his car.. they will stuff the car up for sure..

Owen, borrow a set of stockies..

there wont be much more benefit from having wider tyres as the track is half wet and dry.

if u have stockies it would prob be best to just use them and no need to worry...

The thing is the tyres arent just wide.. they are too big for the car.. silly people putting massive gtr wheels on gtst's :domokun:

And having one wheel sit an inch outside of the guard!

I know how big they are, they basically sat how mine used to. Just one of his tyres sits outside the guard for some frakked up reason...

Edit: Nismo: Twas only joking, was all part of the fun... :)

Edit2: I'll most likely be out with stockies on the rear too... Fronts will be good tyres.

J's car will have the other two of my "new" stockies...

yeah i thought my car doesnt roll, and it doesnt lol. but when you spin, trust me it will roll. the photo of me spinning shows exactly that... the back is dead flat but front wheels have moved so much, i couldnt beleive it there must have been some nice twisting action lol

the track is not really wet, it just has a river through it the rest was dry. stock wheels are the go if you have some with rubber

um neither. its off the screen, below the sheds. you drive in past the sheds, turn right at scrutineering (you dont line up, just go paston their left) and head down past the hillclimb things

this has taken ages to come around....been looking forward to the day for ages now....fingers cross it wont be as hot as last time.....we all died in the heat and alot got sunburnt....

yeah your right its taking ages, but i bet despite sitting here like leyton hewitt (come on!!) i still wont be ready for it til the night before. all i gotta do is change the oil lol but you know.

yep droping oil this weekend, do a service it i think.....havent changed the spark plugs on a skyline yet.....anyone know the easiest way to get in their? havent tried yet, is the plastic cover hard to get off?

Also the plastic guards are under the oil filter, anyone know a trick way to change the oil filter withour droping oil onto the plastic? cant clean that up and will drop oil everywhere when i drive and on the driveway.

what sparkies should i get? can you just go to repco and ask for r33 skyline, cause its an import do they stock the parts?

Prob should have put this in the right section to get an answer...oh well too lazy....

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
