Evening all,

I have my mate holding his set of Uras NS01 for me that I am planning on using as track wheels for the M35. I will be running semi slicks on them (have not decided on tyres yet).

They are 17x8 +30 which is the same as my daily rims only they are 18x8.

Heres how they fit/look on the Stagea, they look tiny as they have 215/40s on them, I will most likely run 245/50 all round. I am also not running low enough.

The other option is R33 GTR stockies as they are forged and would make the smarter choice but are twice the price of the NS01s.

Opinions on sizes would be much appreciated. Trying to keep the wheels them selves to under $800

Cheers

Cameron

running 16's when on the track should help with acceleration if you bring the diameter down.

Will also help getting the car a bit lower...lol

I can't run 16's as I am planning on upgrading my brakes and I don't think 16s would fit.

If you are going to run them on the track only don't stuff around get slicks (second hand are cheap). What makes you think your car's not low enough? Have you got adjustable suspension?

I would use them on things like mountain runs and so on too so thats why I am wanting semi slicks.

Just does not look low enough, with the 18s on it (look at the rear wheel on the last pic) there is a few cm of gap. Also, the grey mouldings at the bottom do not help, they just make it look higher still.

I have adjustable suspension but it is only height adjustable, the damper is as standard. It can be a bit bouncy sometimes so thats why its at that height. I will be upgrading to Silkroad 8way adjustable coilovers asap.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
