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*

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.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
