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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
