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:

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
