Hi Victor,

You'll be fine mate, our cars naturally camber negative when lowering so u will find that those wheels that look like they're sticking out actually tuck in once lowered.

i just wanted a different look...too many bigger and nicer gtc's out there at the moment >_<

Hi Roy,

so I am guessing you selling your GT-C? :D Your's look good already, black on gold. Still the only one in WA.

With lowering, I won't be doing it yet because 1. my driveway is abit high and even now with lower profile tyres and big lip kit, I have to go up slow. 2. my other daily car, Mitsubishi Mirage, is on 17's and rub when having 3 people in the car, so can't risk with my V rubbing if I have to have 3 people in the car. I will be tempted when I get another daily.

So with the cruise, do you know when you heading back out yet? Can you still make the cruise?

what wheels were you running?

Intensive Hunks

19x9.5" +17 245/35/19 Tyres

19x11" +10 275/30/19 Tyres

with lowered springs fronts sat flush and rear were poking out about 8-10mm.

here's a few pics.

Coilovers

thanks for the pics bee ...i never intended going coilovers and with 10.5 +0 offset, it would poke +4mm more ...so its a tad too much poke for my liking.

ur last pic with the coilovers is good flushness ...but i can't see going over any road humps riding that low.

same here mate, trying to convince the other half that an evo 9 is actually a better family car. Had a look at a couple already but importing one in may be a better option.

decided to hold off on the wheels for now coz after looking at the flushness of ur wheels, the ones I was looking at would stick out 22mm more...too much poke and would require a lot of roll/pull and maybe -3.5 to -4 camber

i dont think you can import the 9.i had the 7.5 before and signed up evo oz. i read a thread on there and apparently 9 was not available for importing since adm ones were sold here locally.

i never really liked the evo because i had the gta which was auto/tip but just recently has a test drive in an 8mr, adm9 i just fell in love.

No worries mate,

55mm underneath the car lol.

lets just say i always have someone in the car when i go to the shops,

to get out and push to get over the speedbump lol.

That's low, man. But looks very nice in deed. :D

    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too
