Thats probably as gutted as i wanna go with the doors, as without the cross brace the top flexed inwards. Top alloy mount is for the Lexan/poly carb windows. Pedal box is all mounted and braced, made up a custom plate for the trans tunnel to mount the G-sensor and Hydro handbrake on. Also had to mount/ drill holes for the Craft square mirrors as they arnt made for a 4dr. Also bent up some tubing for a high wing stand. Getting some steel laser cut this week, then weld that in.

Over the next week, getting some cooler piping finished off and all underneath seam welded and holes welded up.

Yup, 295/30/18 all round on a 10.5 should be fine :)

Thats the main reason for going wide body.

hey

i have been following this build very impressive im getting scared lol

anyway i have a set of 18x11 te37sl with 295 rubber if u wana trial fit to see how they sit on your awesome build

If you are going wide body then why not go with a 11.5" wide rim so you can run 315 rubber, that gives you a lot of tyre options. I am getting a set of BBS E88 in 18x11.5 now if you are interested PM me.

How much you looking at for 315 tyres? already with 295/30/18 there around $670 each.

No one makes wide carbon front guards either :(

No but there are plenty of good metal work places that could modify some standard guards.

Looking on Tirerack about $350-$500/

PM me if you want to know more about the BBS E88's, they are a motorsport wheel and lighter than a standard set of LM's.

Great work Luke.

Mike, who do you recommend for metal work? I wouldn't mind fitting the 18x11 +18 into my honda s2000....just need to find a good place to stretch the metal out a bit... a fair bit actually since the OEM offset is like +60 haha

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
