sofly - second batch of pics perfect just the 20mm spacer in first pic made it stick out to far but you didnt explain that hence calling it mexican..

aside from that this thread fails.. thread is "wheel fitment, post YOUR wheels" for the most part its random internet pics and cars that are wheels slapped on and need more this, less this to achieve "fitment" maybe should have just made it post your wheels thread..

heres some pics of mine... i consider this conservative as i have only lipped the guards. wheels are 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 panasport g7's and were used a test fit... be prepared for what i have planned when my rig is back on the road in 2011.

and for the haters... this was my daily.. and i never got pulled over.. aslong as the top of the tyre is inside guard its not really a problem. also the rears were almost flat... i can show you pics of my skid tyres and you'll see that just about the entire tyre is worn.

i dont see the point in having a lame (safe) offset... it looks like a commonwhore and is crap. and soo many cars are running around with these kind of offsets and stretched tyres, so i think the unsafe claims of stretched tyres can be put to bed... they just dont hold up anymore.

cheers

my last rears were low brake clearance , the new ones are hi :D

fronts are 16mm more rears are 5mm more (and by more i mean less;) )

R34 sedan, 18x9.5 +15 JIC wheels, 235/40's all round, fronts really need a 225, front guards lipped and slight pull, rear's i still need to lip the guards then i can give it more low, just havnt had the time. Work in progress.

if anyone wants them

$8 and there yours :rant:

what? don't sell em to anyone. you'll get tards with sunken battleship fitment sporting them.

i say you only get to have those if a panel of experts deem your wheels to be truly hellaflush.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
