was waiting for your car to pop up blags... :(

joeyjoe did your rear wheels go straight on ? whats the size again and you dont have to run any camber?

not bolt on... i refuse to run camber as the car has 323rwkw

i'm runing 18x9.5 +25 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05's

the camber is set to be flat on WOT, cant remember the exact numbers

guards had to be flared

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*

when mines finished i will and not just drift.

17x9.5 225 stretch, having bee's dick clearance on neg1 on rear all the way through suspension travel. and neg2 up front which i believe are realistic numbers.

camber and stretch is not wheel fitment. you have to think realisticly when doing it, running something stupid like neg4 or something on the rears just to tuck em is retarded. however when you look at it / \ is baller lOL, but not practical

wheel fitment is rim size, tyre size, ride height, wheel alignment, guard work. the propper hella flush cars are defiantly not what you have described above, majority are show cars and yes some are impractical, however search up fatlace and see that he drives his s14 hard with fitment.

and one thing fitment isn't is SPACERS.

How is that progressing BTW?

Agreed with Dave, lotsa guys think epic stance is about stretching skinny tyres on dished wheels with camber and suspension height dialled down stupid low.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
