Hello guys !laugh.gif

Don you have any info about replacebility of Y34 brake hoses?

Is it possible to replace the stock hoses with reinforced without much work?

I havnt needed to do this for my Y34 but I would imagine it isnt any different to other cars. Take the brake lines off and take them to a decent brake shop, in Adelaide Power Brakes on North East Road are good. They will make you a direct replacement braided line within a few hours.

Hey guys!

can anyone help me with what sort of offset I can go with rims? I want 20" with some nice dish but I dont know whats going to fit.... I dont want to have to touch the bodywork if I can help it thanks :)

I have 8.5 +20 on the front and 9 +14 on the rear. Mine is stock height and at the front they are perfect but at the rear they stick out about 4-5mm If the car was lower they would tuck in a bit.

Aisha the rims I sourced Kermit are:

19x9 +20F

19x10+20R

Which to be fair when removing the width factor it works out to be similar fitment dimension to the poster above me..

While it sounds like it is pretty aggressive fitment its truly not... These cars seem to REally swallow rims..

Kermit is riding on lowered bilstein spring at the moment but he wants to space out his rears a little he reckons...

So that gives you a fair idea..

But it's all up to you...

I reckon your car would look excellent in some reverse mounted work varianza T1S :)

HOLY CRAP AISHA CHECK THESE OUT!!!!!

21 inches!!!!!

9.5JJ +38

10.5JJ +18

PCD: 114.3

5 holes

Reverse mounted custom finished Work Varianza!!! TWENTY ONES!!!!

Lil Jon would be jealous. They might seem full on but honestly you would teach a lot of these boys about gangster fitment if you scooped them up for a decent price..

hey rowan im in love with the eurolines import monster has for sale on the aussie shop area but my limit was $2200 including tyres... dont think its gonna happen :( lol i shall keep searching i would like a little bling and lotsa dish im a fan of multispokes too... +38 on the front?? are you sure they would fit? I mean kermits are +20 and he only has 10mm of brake clearance?!

You need to up your limit - the only 20s you're gonna get for that money are Bob Jane pieces of shit. Keep an eye on Import Monster and snag some cheap through Yahoo Auctions. 19s are fine for your purposes too ;)

I need help with what sort of rims I should get for the gloria!! I want 20", i want bling and I want dish, but these dont all seem to come together..... anyway can I please have your opinions on the rims pictured (attached)??? smile.gif

In order:

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
