f**k me josh!

thats jizz - when i have cash for wheels, we'l talk offset :D

Soooooooooooo very very hot. Almost makes me tempted to pull apart my rims to rebuild them for porn fitment, but alas I am a very lazy kid. In past history tells me anything, they'll never go back on my car :/

i bet thats something u'd do

It’s actually pretty common to do a flip/conversion as it’s cheaper than getting custom made lips/barrels made. Pretty common in wheel rebuild threads on a few of the wheel/offset forums I am on.

Yes I post on wheel specific forums

Been wanting to do the same thing:

Also went and spoke to a shop in Underwood that do a few race cars/drift cars (they did the body work on the Option1 Silver 350z). Without sitting down at working out each cost, they said around $1000 to weld in a pannel.

I have seen roof cuts on ebay for as little as $150. Cut at the pillars, so easy to match and cut, then re weld. People are put off, but I don't know why - People take the roof off cars for SERIOUS roll cage building, it's not different - Your just replacing it with another one.

IMHO if anything putting a sunroof in a non sunroof car makes a car weaker then welding in a non sunroof, roof.

that's a bit better. thought 2k was a bit rough.

do you know if you could fit the non sunroof roof lining once the work was done?

what place in underwood did you see? i work near there, so may pop around and have a chat

wow just went an met my next door naighbor who ive seen playin around in his garrage the past few days, hes got a r31 with a rb26/30, gt3582r, 4" zorts turbo bak ful surge tank setup, big f*k off external gate, the whole f**kin shabang.

Full good dude, Hoping to get it going for powercruize.

Yeap, the more you supply the cheaper it is. I just wanted a sheet welded in with no centre rib (IIRC its only there for two reasons to hold in the roof light and to stop minor roof flex eg: if you lent on the roof in the centre).

If you supplied the centre rib and hood lining and just welded in a plate, apposed to a full roof swap it'll only be around the $1k as well. You can buy the rib new from nissan. I'd also take the sunroof out myself as thats an extra few hours labour you can save. I've had mine out heaps, it's not a hard job.

The shop is in Kenway Dr. Should be building number 6. There is always imports and all kinds of shit there.

**the hood lining on my non sunroof R32's where only ever held in by the side pillar trims, no clips, no glue. There is no reason why a factory liner will not fit**

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
