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*

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
