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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
