I'm not married, but will gladly get hitched if it means handing her over to you will solidify me a steer in the Rad :)

:cool::blink:

Me either! :devil:

Haha I recall you also offering me a go in your car some time ago if ever I was in QLD, so the offer is back at ya mate ;)

Im up for car swapping too Dane! I mean, who wouldnt want to drive the red wiggles car!

Haha I really should have a key party, I think I'd take home the prettiest girl in the room... if only it had a key.

Yoki is realeasing a true man's tyre soon, 295 :devil:

That's my aim!

Who needs geometry when you just have an excess of tyre! :blink:

WOW! That's insane. Prob be hard to make a 295 work on a car that light without the aero of Berry's 34.

Why spacers? Do the 10.5s hit the suspension, or are you two whacky kids just got track on the brain?

Yeah my 18x9 +22 RS's nearly hit the suspention up front with 235 tyres! I'm amazed that you fitted your 19's on your 32 Ben? Did you put em on the front or back?

You got it Dane :devil: Feel free to bring some of your hot women too you big hunk of spunk! :cool::blink:

Russ, I only put one on the front..... farkin hectik. iPhones take awesome pics....

Front, NO spacer, with a 285/30 tyre;

Have you trial fitted rear yet?

Edited by Marlin
LOL, yeah maybe, but I plan to make the body actually go over the wheel/tyre so them they'll hate me again :blink:

Least it will go round corners then.

but needs a set of wheels like this to go with the truck turbo :devil:

Brus aren't you supposed to wedge a credit card between the tyre and the bodywork?

this is probably as bad a place as any to ask - what do people know about 5Zigen wheels? up to the job of bouncing off kerbs?

We should talk Russ, see eachother through this :P

I'm thinking +15 with a 20mm spacer.... am I being silly do you think?

Where can we buy SLR5000 type flares for these things?

Yep I was thinking the same. Perhaps 15mm spacer if possible.. I was hopeing to get them under pumped GTR guards front and rear... Don't really like bolt on.

My next step is to put some 265/35/18's on my SL's and trial spacers. 20mm is most likely. No time atm though.

If it's a silly idea then that makes 2 of us haha. Check out my fb photo's when I trial fitted with 25mm spacer (no tyre)

yay this is my kind of topic.

get yourselfs a copy of the latest HPI. it has a s15 time attack car from J pan that was featured on speed hunters a while back. they just used the stock guards but spaced them out about 50mm with some bracketts. instant wide body. as always it could have been done nicer.

also not sure if either of you guys are running them but r33 lower contol arms will push track out moreso.

if you get much wider than a 10inch at +15 you will be getting scrubbing on the fire wall and chassis rail. i have 10 +15 on the front of my car with r33 lca and modified lock for drifty drifts and there is rub marks every where. i know you guys dont need ooooober lock but its worth considering.

oh and 10 +15 fits a gtr guard perfect so you can go a bit further and roll the guards.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
