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

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
