still trying to work out a way to lower it more without major scrapeage, and without massive camber as tyres aint cheap these days.

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

and by track I dont mean drift?

Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim.

*awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty*

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

nice question to ask in a thread about flush fitment and style. what do you think the answer is genius?

this is about visuals. if you want safe and trackable, there's another thread, no a whole section for it. GTFO and stop trolling.

i do.

semi slicks front for skids

semi slicks all round for grip

stockies rear for motorkhanas

the tyres do scrub, but with a good alignment the grip and overall feel is very good.

i dont have my car scraping on the ground (yet :P) nor do i run crazy camber, so its OK for now... im currently modifying my guards to suit the wheel travel so should be all good once done.

i do all sorts of driving in my car including hillclimbs and track... i don't really ever drift it as it's had too much money spent on it, and drifting breaks shit... that's what the pig is for :P

true, we do motorkhana days on our stretched tyre fitment wheels, granted its flat, smooth ground so no need to worry about ripple strips etc, but there's still suspension travel and pressure distribution on tyres. Never really had an issue. I've got 215's on an 8.5 and 225's on a 9.5, which is just a moderate stretch, just gives me enough of a stretch to tuck in under a rolled guard. As for spring rates, I've got 10 in front and 8 in back, so there's not much travel. That said, its not exactly a comfy road car.

are bolt on guards illegal in sa ??

and what about making it wider like stretching fenders :S

i really wanna know more about wheel fitment regarding law

Yeh man... mine are flared 30mm underneath the bolt on flares, bolt ons are 50mm. went through regency last Monday no problems.

As long as you don't cut the metal underneath it you can bolt your bed to it if you wanted to.

Problem with big wheels and good fitment is that you put your wheels out of legal "track" allowed for the vehicle, therefore you must get them engineered. But then again that depends on how crazy you wanna go. Ill never be able to engineer mine.

where did you get your roof spoiler from dude??? ive been loking for one for aaaagggeeeessss. the car looks tough!

Yeah little R31house foil decal on the drivers side of the boot. Fronts I haven't even rolled the guards, rear guards are rolled flat but not flared, side strips are trimmed to half depth and the metal behind them is folded to half width down to about 3" above the sills; biggest issue was rubbing in the front of the wheelarch around where the trim is. Have close to 1" clearance to the suspension inwards.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
