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

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
