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.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
