thats what nisskid recomended with stock guards and low.. any chance sedans are different?

not sure if different on sedans but, I had scrubbing issues with 17x8 +30 with 235/45 tyres

Had to drop to 225/45's to reduce scrubbing

You are going another inch wider and +20, that will be an interesting fit.

The r33 GTR rims are 17x9 +30. Have a look through the r32 image thread for those rims on the r32. That will give you an idea if there is room for +20

got an invoice for my bodykit from VW US. Including shipping to oz it's $1500 cheaper than what VW AU wanted for the same thing.

Fucking muppets.

Mohsen, fuck you and your fucking pipedreams. Buy a car. Until then I ain't giving you any advice on nothing.

saturday. if nothing goes wrong

kris is right there....

be smart man...

having said that... pat's a fag... those wheels will fit easy... just need to flare more\

why people are afraid of flaring guards on a ~10k car is beyond me... just man up ffs

you wanted aggressive fitment, Rekin runs pretty mild fitment.

the reason why his scrubbed is:

A: he was running a big tyre

B: his guards werent roll enough/right

C: his suspension was too soft

with 17x9 +20 u will be running a 215/45, hard suspension, then u will go at ur guards, just enough to make them fit (rolling and slight pulling in areas). when i talk about stock guards there i mean rolled guards as it's kind of a given if u want any sort of aggressive fitment. u wont need to flare to get a 17x9 +20 under.

17x9 +16 225/45

might have to do something about my spring rates. or do i hope it'll tuck on launch? she squats atleast an inch

getting aggressive fitment on soft suspension is farkin hard, doable, but hard. if u want the aggressive look, then harder springs are ur best bet. but realistically u wanna be going harder dampers as well.

im gonna see how far i get with what i have because i like the ride atm. but i could also do with less roll in corners. its the SK gb spec bilsteins/whiteline fyi.

im running 18x10 +19 all round, 235 and 245. lipped and slightly pulled. no scrubbing cos of how high it is but next thing on the list is low

the circlip adjustment is just the start of ur woes, the biggest problem is they use the standard hats, by having the top spring seat sitting down so low, ur spacing the suspension up, lifting ur car effectively.

u need to turn this:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
