looks ok... if not a lil dodgy. Does the power warrant the width of the wheels....? Or is it just for the looks?

Vote for more pics of the cedric.

its looks

its a 225/40 tire on a 10 inch wide wheel lol

sheesh you two have a history or something...?

iwouldnt mind running 9's all round on mine but not at the expense of doing that to my guard....

im THAT guy that does the stupid shit like make a stagea RWD just to drift

put rediculous sized wheels

etc etc etc

oh all that sacreligious stuff eh? hey man i reckon drifting a stagea would be excellent... isnt Unique1's car a RWD now? (he was prbably under a different username alst time you were on here).

225 on a 10" wheel... you hang out with the bosozoku boys much?

Welcome to AustFAILia yokotas13... imagine Florida but without the good bits

SAU is pretty much the worst afflicted of all Australian forums but most are similar.

On this forum there are a few rules

NO STRETCH

NO GUARD (fender) ROLLING

NO SUB-OBTIMAL SUSPENSION GEOMETRY

NO STIFF SPRINGS

NO SPACERS

NO FUN

Basically this forum is the youngest batch of old men you will ever meet. They will modify their cars for only performance but label anyone who attempts to use that peformance an irresponsible idiot.

As far as wheel fitment goes. In Australia toilets have half-flush (to save water) and when people here talk about flushness. They get confused by their toilet.

Unfortunately the only people less interested in fun than SAU are the Australian Police, so there is some justification for their boringness.

If bullshit was music, you pair of yanks would rate as a 63 piece fcuking orchestra.

You are currently in a country that has the most imbecillic attitude towards automotive safety than any other, you originate from the nation that has without a doubt the biggest reputation for the most badly designed, evil handling pieces of crap ever to grace tarmac, and yet you come on to an AUSTRALIAN forum to tell us what is appropriate for our cars and our roads?

Hubris much?

You make a down syndrome epileptic with severe autism look intelligent you complete and utter assclown

wait

lets not generalize here

I knwo guys in australia, on here and other ofurms, doing the same thing i do on my cars, on cimas, silvias, skylines etc etc etc with no problems in australia

and american cars are shit, except for a few of hte newer ones that are catering to the driver more. (saturn turbo vert is sex)

regardless, its only hte stag forum that is anal on wheels being 2 inches inside the fenders i like the forum, i learn shit randomly

Also from this thread you will have witnessed the casual Australian attitude and willingness to laugh at ourselves.

Apologies... old women too :(

It isn't that bad, as you can see by my join date and post count I have been here and enjoyed it a long time. But judging by the reaction I think people here take themselves a little too seriously. I am back in Australia now and it is amazing how uptight Aussies are, quite contrary to our international reputation.

you guys need to chillax. Its personal preferance. Whats the point of having 30 ppl with the same car following the same set of rules? Otherwise why mod? Show some individualism... half of us have a stagea simply cos its something different - thats the main reason i got one.

Go for it yokotas, it looks pretty cool. Wouldnt do it to mine, but thats just me. If i thought i could get away with it, maybe. (i was looking at flared guards just earlier haha).

Laurence? go eat a d1ck. I bought the car to drive it. Not butcher it. I doubt that every single mod thats gonna end up on my car will be 100% legal, but im not going to flaunt the ones that arent. We all have different balues and tastes. Obviously we dont share yours... one day you might just have to accept that and err you know... get over it.

Ahaha they took you hook line and sinker mate.

Each to his own hey.. Grant likes fitment, others like legal. Telling people to eat dicks all day long isn't going to get anyone anywhere. There's too many fags in this country as it is...

I like your new wheels Grant.

you offically suck.........

because you didnt put "cefiro" in that list. lol

im running 18x10+11 on pumped cefiro guards which is no mean feat. but then again im a kiwi. hehehe.

carry on..........

I think it all boils down to " form over function " - Grant might prefer going for a certain look despite the fact it means mods that some of us would rather do without ( like very limited suspension travel etc )

while others dont really GAF what things look like just as long as they do the job that was intended.

Personally I am not a fan of strectched tyres.. but what ever cranks your handle you know?

the thing is I wonder around a track what would go better.. a car like Grants or a stag with a bit of suspension mods and running standard wheels and tyres..

and .. remember the analogy between arguing on the internet and mental retardation everyone..

i can call that one!

ME

mainly becuase this car is a missle

what is a missle you ask?

missle- A car i dont care about becuase its an extra so i am taking it to the track and not giving a rats ass if it gets smashed

so yeah, im gonna say i will be faster

i gotta say i didnt think much of your attitude in the beginning Grant, but u seem alright, i can understand u are going for the vip look and i love it, i think the wheels are abit extreme width wise and sticking out the gaurds but thats your choice and definately looks better than the usual 18x7' +40 on most stageas i see (including my own lol) so good on ya.

I dont like those style of rims at all, i much prefered the Work Emotion xd9's u had before. Can u post some more pics of them on the car, preferably a good sized set of pics so i can see the fitment. Im looking at work emotion cr kai at moment or rays re30s or something similiar and looking for the most aggressive offsets i can without sticking out the gaurds too much :rofl:

Also whoever said my car is rwd only is incorrect its 4wd but i often remove the front shaft for fun and am gonna leave it rwd now for a while until i decide on what gearbox i wanna upgrade too.

good luck Grant i wanna see pics of the ground clearance under the car as well if u can, i doubt u have much hehe :)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
