New Wheels For Me :)


Recommended Posts

After a fair bit of searching I found some nice wheels.

Next time I need tyres I might have them powder coated gold/bronze, maybe

The tyres are Marangoni which I've never heard of, probably shite but will see.

19 x8.5 on front and 19x9.5 rears with 275s on rear. Offst is +35 and should have been +25 to be the best fit, oh well :P

Got em at Big O Tyres at Moorebank.

looks good.. mate.. i like them... You can always get some spacers to get the correct offset... maybe 10mm spacers...

I like them a lot...

looks good.

As for changing the colour, leave the centre as is and get the rim polished and then get them all clear coated.

You might go for a gunmetal perhaps, but i don't think you need to...

PHAT :down:

I've heard good things about those tyres Geoff. Time will tell I guess to see how they handle and wear. They have a lifetime warranty too :(

WHACKO! Cliff. Never have to buy another tyre again(every time they wear out, just make a warranty claim). :) :) :)

keep an eye on the tyres, ive heard SOME of the tread pattern have had some problems. ie the tread coming off and premature wear

this was around 12 months ago, and probably why they have a lifetime warranty.

that said, my mate had them on his GTiR pulsar and didnt have a problem with them at all.

and the car looks great!!

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
