really depends on tyre size and camber mate, mine i was running 18x9.5 +12s all around with my LMGT4s and i used a 5mm spacer on the front to get them sitting a bit more flush. thats even with -2.5 camber on the front and -1.0 on the rear

tyres was 225/40 front and 235/40 rear

for those that havent already seen it, i've posted a thread about gathering numbers for a track day early 2010.

also:

is there anyone that knows of a RB26 being stripped in SA?

I'm DESPERATELY trying to find some breather hoses and PCV-valve for mine!!!

I refuse to wait >2 weeks for new ones from Nissan :laugh:

heeeeelp!

other wheel fetish oriented lads

You rang? :laugh:

Seriously for what you want, an 18 x 9 +30 would be perfect. Contrary to Dave's idea, the actual track will not change, as offset is a measure of the distance between the mounting face and the centerline of the wheel.

ie In both the 16 x 8 +30 and the 18 x 9 +30 cases, the mounting face is 30mm outwards from the centre of the wheel (where the measurement of track is taken from). There is just an extra half inch of wheel width either side (like you have mentioned).

As for tyre width, the 17 x 9 wheels I bought for my Chaser had 255s when I got them, and they were a perfect fit for the conservative look. No stretch, but no gumby looking tyre bulge either.

The correct tyre profile can be obtained from one of the many tyre calculators found on the net, by matching rolling diameter as close as possible to stock.

im gonna blame lack of sleep on any and all f**k ups i make. :laugh:

... already used that about 4 times this morning. ugh. stupid early starts.

Saw Paranormal Activity last night.

Such an epic movie. THey made it on a $15k budget, and did so f**king well.

I think it made $108 million in Southern California alone or something like that

fook, thats a pretty solid effort.

wasnt a tessa but fairly embarrasing i must say :laugh:

theres an example of 1 of the 348s prior to crash

still an italian built cockbox...eitherway. I wouldnt own one !!! after my not so impressive month of driving one !!!! even the F40,50 etc doesnt impress me

sure pretty fast but they build them like crap , pull off a few panels on one sometime,,, its full of contact glue, fit and finish is 1000% better on a lexus

cane them and they cost a fortune to repair, do that same in a jap car it still starts the next day..lol

2f2f "smoke em"

Nigal what does the pcv valve look like? I've got parts leaving japan soon and could have a look on thr auctions tonight for u.

screws/pushes into the rocker cover or inlet plenum depending on the car , the place the oil breather lines plugs into with the little rattle ball or slide of metal in it.

Well. Just got a little early xmas present from the mail man. Kakimoto Regu 06&R $876 delivered. Beautiful. Over $300 saving from JustJaps price delivered

i have the same exhaust. they sound and look soooooo good!!!

good choice Jarrad

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
