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

3410600977_f8c896383d_b.jpg

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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
