Nah, once on FTG road, and once on burwood hwy

Hmm... Saw it 3 times in Blackburn, may be same car perhaps?

I'm stuck home - my R is broken again, this time radiator fan is cracked...

Need a daily driver, any suggestions?

it looks great, around thomastown/ lalor area

edit: i told me ex's aunt to get one when she turned 19 and got her p's.. wonder if she went thru with it.. her bro drives a gallardo so maybe

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

Yeah wasnt aware that you were after aggressive fitment. Mild fitment is 17x9 +30, anything more will require some guard work. Be it rolling or flarring.

All options are correct. Bilstein suspension setup. No stupidly hard JDM yo' suspension found here.

17x8 +30 on 225/45 seems to be the limit before rolling is required on the front. (thats with my bilstein setup that is)

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:

into this:

Where do I get those hats from? Look much nicer than the 18yr old standards hats im using..

this.

mallet and dolly that shit, then hit it with paint. hell, just a simple roll will do if you wanna go princess spec and get you some extra clearance.

asking pat for fitment and stance advice is like asking the pope about what type of condom gives the wimmins the most pleasure.

haha nice call. It all comes down to your suspension setup and size of tyre willing to use.

I have 255/40's on my 17x9 +30's with -0.5deg camber so there is a bit of poke on the rear. Will need to ether drop down to a 235/245, moar low and camber. Dont think the 255's will fit unless guards are flarred. Already have adjustable rear camber and adjustable circlips on the rear. Got an EPA to worry about first though :P

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
