hi all

im new to this forum. bought a v35 coupe about two months ago after totalling my rex. i bought sone lenso D1r's last week with folling specs - 18 inch 9 +15 and 10 +22. havent bought any tyres yet. was wondering what will be the best tyre size for my wheels which doesnt require too much work ie; guard roll, camber ect. im on stock suspension at the moment and plan to drop the car abut an 1 - 1.5 inches

thanks

Hey mate welcome,

You won't need to roll guards with 18'' wheels unless your insanely low and have meaty as f*ck tyres. Not sure on tyre specs for that size rim, if it were 20's i could help. Make sure you at least buy a rear camber kit when you lower your car, unless your going to chew through tyres like mad even with an allignment. But yes as Tony says i'm pretty sure there's a dedicated wheel/tyre specs thread on here somewhere, use the search function mate.

Hi All

I am Jazzie from Perth, WA. I purchased myself a 2007 Nissan Skyline 370GT in July 2012.

I bought it as a work car and absolutely love it. I also have a 2003 Subaru Libery B4. Needless to say I am in love with my mechanical babies.

Here's some pics..

Eventually I need to fix up a couple things with the Skyline. Eg thrust bearing and paint work/rims where damaged from previous owner.

If you wanna know more or have any advice feel free to PM me or reply here!

Thanks

Jaz

Welcome jazzie, I saw your car about 3 weeks ago when I was in Perth. Down in freemantle near little creatures. I pointed it out to my gf and said 'what do you reckon, should I upgrade to the newer shape?' To which she said 'looks exactly the same as the one you have got' - *facepalm*

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
