Oh snap! Godfather rims baby!. 18x8.5" in the front, 18x9.5" at the back. Hoping to stretch some 215/35/18's in the front and 225/40/18's in the back. I might hit up Option1Garage for some Cum-ho's.

Has anyone had any issues fitting this size on a cef in terms of rubbing and stuffs?

Also just bought a Grace bodykit from Erin @ JDM Garage up here in brissy. Needs a bit of work and some paint before it goes on.

yeah I know... "Rollin on Tweeeens bitches" doesn't quite have the same effect tho.

Well technically I bought it for my dad (hence the auto trans), then I got it back off him after he wrote it off. So I guess its my car now.

when did he write it off, u mean that lil scuff on the front bar back then?

lol

far as i no mite need to mod the rear bar wheel arches a lil if your gonna run a body kit

looking the goods

some lady back into a 3 lane road while he was comin down it at 70... radiator panel took the brunt of it, and the right fender. bonnet was pushed up. Insurance co wrote it off, I bought it back, fixed it up at Driftline, welded in a new rad panel, replaced all the broken parts, re-engineered and now back on the road.

hey

how you going

looking at the stick out of them, i have rims with similar amount of stickout

the tyres you specified will go fine without guard rolling - speaking from experience here

looks the goods man

ummm its this kit... which is a Grace kit from what I can tell, but some people seem to think its the mythical Autech S2 kit, and other think its a TBO kit.

rolled the lip on the guards and fitted the wheels up today. realised that my rear's are sporting some gangster toe in's will have to fix soon.

Huge thanks to dave for taking a few hours to roll my guards. Very nice finish.

Car sits about 7cm off the ground... with 3 people in the car the exhaust hangs about 2cm off the ground... gonna have to do some remedial surgery on the mounts this weekends.

Flushhhhhhhhh

Pants tighten everytime you look in the side mirror and just see the edge of the wheel chillin outside the guard.

3411414688_efc6a4ab30_b.jpg

Flushhh FAIL in the front by about 1.5cm. Didn't realise that the guard would flex so much when rolled. will need to get longer bolts and space it out or buy more Godfathers... MOAR GODFATHERS!!!1!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
