LOL once a poser always a poser hey matty :laugh:

Good to catch up again

for sure mate

and yeah, thats true...........wasnt quite game enough to hit rundle or hindley on the way thru, but squeezed in a bay lap.....

perfect weather to as well, lotsa cars so a bit of stop start. when i got a bit of an opening to giv it a lil bit, it'd built enough fuel up to giv a nice pop (which was rather loud ricochetting off the buildings LOL)

:glare:

Would i be better off getting 17x9 front 17x9.5 rear (need to roll the guards though at the back ?) if i dont want to use spacers ? How would that fit do you know...

The width is one thing BUT offset is another, If Matty has had to use spacers then i would assume you will need to also!!

Matty did have the 9.5's on the rear which sat very similar. I think he changed them to 9s because he wanted to go drifting more often, he got 2 pairs of 9s as another pair of 9.5's weren't available, and he can put slightly skinnier tyres on the 9's (easier to spin up?)

Anyway, im sure he'll anser soon :P

Were spacers used when he had the 9.5's on the back ?

8s on front yeah, not 9s LOL. And thats rite, never ran a spacer on the rear with the 9.5s

9.5s are +18 (gtr offset)

9s are +35 (s13, r32 etc)

currently running a 25mm bolt on at rear, goin to put the 25mm up front tho, and get a 35mm for the rear to push them out more

ran 235s on 9.5s (was a bit hard with 155rwkw to spin 3rd), but now run 215s on 9s (and it spins easy as)

to put 9.5s on the rear of the 31, it required a bit of massaging of the guards

and scandyflick..........that was the plan all along. 2 red 31s.......one mild, one wild.....................

Hmm i really want the car to grip well. So what width would you recommend for mine ? (keep in mind i dont particularly like spacers...but i dont like my rims sitting inside the guards either :P)

how much power u going to be making? thats the question

id probably say try and get hold of some 9.5s for the rear

*edit: my idea just blew thru LOL

Edited by Matty 31
i thought you were getting ben's roh's?

plans always change with him

just spoke to him, he's managed to make them fit on the rear LOL.........and by the sounds of it (20lb hammer) he's got them to fit ............ when the rear coilovers hav no downward adjustment left in them its got to be low LOL

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
